Yesterday I didn't blog as my finger was really painful and it didn't help that Mills caught it by accident.
It was Ok during the day as I worked on some alterations that came in Monday are are going to be collected on Friday. They were four dresses that needed shortening all had been pinned to the length required.
Ebay post - this time I was at the BACK of the queue for a change.
Today I finished off the alterations I prepared yesterday. And also shortened Nan's trousers, repaired Mills tracksuit bottoms lining. No post for me today - I'm waiting for two crochet videos that I treated myself too and yet more Ebay buying some wool needles a set for mum and a set for me, well for Mills to sew up her project. And yet more book four in total - I will defiantly have to sort out my shelf space and find different areas for tools, and notions boxes.
Ebay post again this tile only a short queue and I only had one parcel this time have four left awaiting payment and I hope to post them BEFORE the weekend.
I haven't brought fabric for ages yet the room is still overflowing in the New Year I will have to set myself challenges and COMPLETE them too! To make up items and clear the fabric and also the wool - since I learnt to knit the wool stash is quite big too! I have to many hobbies and not enough time.

Where is Christmas???
Hubby was working from home today which is really nice as not only do I have company for the day but also I get to have a lie in until 7:45am. Oh what a good life I have!!
Today I finished my wrapping all the presents for the girls, which I really enjoyed Christmas music playing oh so lovely. Christmas is just so magical no matter what your age.
Parcelled up 6 items ready to post . Items that sold on Ebay and posted them after picking Mills up from school.
Did a little tidying in my room but still a way to go yet... I want to try and free some more book shelve space. I just love books just need more room for all my books ...my ideal house would have a library room well perhaps I could suggest to hubby to have an extension built (LOL) and it be a library room with the steps to retch the yop shelves well I can DREAM.
Cooked a Chicken Pie for dinner today and everyone enjoyed, this time I followed the recipe form Jamie Oliver book rather than my own to male a change and it was really tasty Bex enjoyed another small portion after her presentation.
Lunch time we went to Bluewater but it really lacks Christmas atmosphere even the so called Winter Wonderland. We had A Bratwurst but it was no where near as tasty as the Bratwurst we had in Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. So disappointed we then went for a coffee and muffin at Costa in Waterstones but once again no Christmas music or atmosphere. When I took my girls to see Santa it e=was all so magical but now that seems to have all disappeared., the Santa grotto's are no where near as magical as they were oh its such a shame as I really love this time of year yet I just wish the shops and towns would have that magical atmosphere too!! I'm thinking about taking my girls up to Hyde Park when they break up from school, but may have other plans yet.
I had a lovely phone call from a customer to tell me how delighted she was with the alterations I did as her husband picked them up lunchtime. She said she just had a fashion show and was really looking forward to wearing them on her holiday and will certainly pass my name on and recommend me to all her friends. Its was so nice to get the phone call like that I felt so good and more so because she took the time and trouble to ring me and let me know how delighted she was. it really made my day!!
Not only did that make my day but my daughters presentation evening was lovely and I'm just so proud of her and look forward to her next two years at the school.

Christmas time - still shopping
Hubby was working at Chersty today so after dropping the girls at school I went to Bexleyheath to hopefully finish Christmas shopping, the girls stockings to fill thats all. Thre is NO Chritmas atomoshere about at all, in fact its really hard to believe its December and its CHRISTMAS, I really love this time of year when everything should be magical no matter what your age but its absolutyly dead no or very lttle music, happiness or Christmas spirt about. Its all such a shme I know the |Credit Crunch is around but smiles and happiness do not cost anything!
Well shopping went well and I got watch batteries done 2 mills, 1 bex and 3 more of mine just my three swatch watches to get battries now. A fair amount of gifts for the girls stockung just hope they like them. I treated myself in TK Max to a filofax £16.99 and some slppper socks £2.00.
I then went on to Bluewater and went in one of the girls favorire shops just hope they like the bits I chose. I brought some fabric from John Lewis hopefully now Mills quilt will finally get finished, its been ongoing for the last 2 years.
Popped in to get the Ebay parcels before picking Mills up from school, once picked up Mills went straight to local post office and got the parcels on the way most Ebay itme that sold and two were from my web shop.
