It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...
Oh yes, that's Me on Monday, decorating the tree. Under careful supervision from Rachel and a certain fluffy dog nestling in her bean bag, wondering what's causing all the changes to the house.
What a weekend it was. We kicked off proceedings on Friday, meeting up with Denise and Himself for a fab Indian meal. Saturday was a 'Support Local Shops' day in town so we popped into town, taking advantage of free car parking for the day, did a bit of Christmas shopping, then popped into a little Italian deli/coffee shop for a rather delicious coffee and slice of cake. A bit of Christmas wrapping in the afternoon, taking Coco to the groomers, a meet up for a drink with some old school friends early evening, then back home to have friends round for drinks later. Writing it down, it does seem as if I spent rather a lot of time eating or drinking ... Now I come to think of it, Sunday was a bit foody too. Sausage roll making, practising gluten free recipes (my god daughter has just been diagnosed as being allergic) ready for Christmas visitors, cooking Sunday lunch, getting involved with a podcast my son has recommended (Serial. Is anyone else listening to it? I think I am hooked!)and then the shock horror elimination of Pixie Lott from Strictly. Lots of muttering under the breath following that. I was sure she was going to win!
So, here we are with a week of December under our belt. This is a week of meals out with ex work mates, meals out with friends and husband's birthday on Friday. Maybe I'll give Slimming World a miss this week ;-)
Let's give a big, glittery, sparkly Christmas wave to Sian, who had the idea of Me on Monday. Actually, don't just wave - join in, we'd all love to hear what you're up to today!
Ha! A big sparkly wave right back to you!
ReplyDeleteWe had our money on Pixie, too. Bit gutted.
Your tree looks beautiful. ooh, it's getting exciting. Have a great week!
It's beginning to look like christmas in our house as well.
ReplyDeleteWow! That was a jam packed weekend. I can highly recommend the clementine cake I featured on my blog last (Me on) Monday. It doesn't say it's a gluten free recipe in the book, but as long as you use GF baking powder it is.
ReplyDeleteHoping it's third time lucky with the "Please prove you're not a robot". I think I need glasses!
Your tree looks lovely Deb :)
