Christmas seems to start earlier and earlier these days doesn't it? Even the Coca Cola has been on for weeks already this year.It doesn't officially start in our house until the 1st December though which is the day we dust off the Christmas CDs and films, start planning our Christmas crafting and baking activities and more importantly, it's the day we put our tree up.We do it on the same day each year but this year, because I've not been feeling well this week (probably thanks to my near drowning in the rain experience) I tried to delay the festivities a few days but the rest of the … [Read more...]
Three things I’ve learned today….
1. I am not, and never will be one of those sophisticated types who eats Sushi for lunch. Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!2.

Holidays are coming….
Christmas has officially started in our house.It actually started a week last Saturday when the Coca Cola advert was on during one of the ad breaks in X Factor - my Twitter and Facebook streams went mad for a little while after the advert had been on because everyone knows that the Coca Cola advert heralds the start of the festive season*.If I get this excited about an advert of a truck, can you imagine how excited I was to find out that that the real truck was going to be quite close to where we live on it's tour of the UK?Our adventure started like this:What my friend … [Read more...]
