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.
