Me on monday

 Please do not judge me but I have a confession to make. 

I started watching Christmas films on Netflix this week. 

I know, it’s too early, it’s not even December yet. But I was home alone, the weather was drab and I wanted someone on in the background while I knitted. These films are always a bit predictable and always have a happy ending but there’s something quite comforting about them.

We had three other couples over for an Indian takeaway meal on Saturday which means that my whole house is tidy and cleaned and I have no housework needed at all (for a few days anyway!) so I am planning to go shopping somewhere today to buy some Christmas cards and a couple of little surprise gifts for Paul’s birthday.

There are a few social events on the calendar this week. Paul’s meeting a friend today, we are both going to lunch with three other friends on Tuesday, I’m meeting up with my ex work colleagues on Thursday then we are out for a meal with friends on Friday. I may need to increase my exercise levels after all that eating out!

It’s Rosie’s birthday on Thursday - six years old. Six going on sixteen 😆 Rachel has organised a couple of surprises for her which I think she's going to love. It's so lovely to see such excitement.

The weather is set to turn colder here this week and I have my newly made hat ready and waiting.  How's it looking where you are?  It's really going to feel like November here as the week goes on. Have a good week x

  1. No judgement from me about starting anything with Christmas. We have been playing some of our favourite Christmas CDs in the evening. It's like an antidote to all the awful news. Sounds like a fun social week planned. Our weather has been chilly & windy, thankfully no snow as yet.

    1. Of course when the snow appears where you live, it stays a long time so I guess you are in no hurry to see it!

  2. I haven't watched any Christmas films yet, but I have wrapped a few presents, so zero judgement from me! I'm also considering if I can put the tree up at the end of this month (which conveniently is a Saturday). :)

    1. I think I need to start thinking about present buying otherwise I will be in a December panic!

  4. It's not too early for Christmas movies! I've already seen two of them at the theater! I'm trying to get decorated this week before leaving town for Thanksgiving. When I get home, I'll be watching Christmas movies in earnest! I can't wait! Plus, our weather is going to turn this week. Cold weather calls for snuggling under a blanket with a good movie!

  5. You're not alone, I now live on my own and have watched a few Christmas movies in the evening as I cross stitch or knit :)
