Well not long till the man in red visits and as a postie I will be so pleased it has come and gone,but as a believer my main blessing is that it is really all about the birth of Jesus,our grandchildren will have a birthday cake for him as well as the "normal" Christmas things,it is important to remember the "reason for the season".
On my mail delivery this week I had she is a dog but the dogs ran faster a lovely welcome by a little lady named Leila,she is at a farm house and runs with the dogs,thinks she is a dog and it was hilarious as she ran to greet me..the joys of my work...
We have our Santa bags ready to do the lolly run on Christmas Eve,some little toys for the children that cannot eat sweets,we do it every year on our big bike but as we are going to sell it this could be the last time...
Have a wonderful Christmas if I do not get time to blog again,at the moment the house is slowly filling up with people,we have Bobs Mum here and his sister Janet and it is nice to have others in the home,all the children will arrive Christmas Eve day and then there will be 14 for two full days and nights.Our walls will stretch lol lots of fun and games ahead I imagine...
Blessing from our home to yours.xx

Hi many thanks for your kindness & visiting me. Yes today went pear shaped. Sometimes my family life feels like an uphill struggle.

Hi
ReplyDeleteWishing you & all your family a great year. Thanks for your sweetness & kindness. One day perhaps when you come to the uk I can give you & hubby afternoon tea (cream tea of course! scones & jam )
x x Thanks again
Hi Hope you are having a restful Sunday. Yes I think that is sound advice about the joint account. I think hubby is secretly ok with moving into his account!. Not sure he would say it aloud. I will try & do my best. I think I will squirrel away any ebay earnings for later on for a wee surprise!.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything is ok with your sons health. I think it is such a lovely thing that your mum lives with you. I expect you would be worrying about her if she was not under your roof. Even though we worry anyway! .
My mum is coming to stay the night on Tuesday night . Hubby has to go to London for a day on Tuesday for a works meeting. Mum & I are going to a craft club on wednesday. I try & get my mum to join up to things!.Mum lives about 20 miles away not to far.
Are you managing to take a step down from your other activities as I know you wanted to wind down from them?.
I love the picture of your house it is such a nice style.
Have a great week x x
