Morning everyone. Sorry this is a bit late - I woke early, did my SW blog, sat down in my easy chair to enjoy my coffee and went back to sleep! Still, I feel much more refreshed now.
SW yesterday was great. I was Slimmer of the Month and also won the raffle which was a tea light candle Advent calendar and holder which was most acceptable. I'm doing rather well with SW raffles at the moment - three of them in the last couple of months! That's probably it now for the next year or so.
Then I came home and got everything ready as far as I could - cutlery on the table and so on - before doing a bit more sorting and tidying. To be honest, that is all I did really; the rest of the day was spent reading and knitting.
It was lovely to see Dave and Anna again. I think (hope) they enjoyed the food and we had a great old chat. It was past eleven by the time they left and, although they're not here on Christmas Day, they are coming over on the Thursday evening (22nd, I think it is) for a pre-Christmas thingy.
Today the sun is shining at the moment but, after a skinful last night, I don't feel very inclined to go out anywhere so I am going to be nice and idle (again) and just do potter-ish sorts of things inside as the spirit moves.
So there it is - nice and short today. Do you have any good weekend plans or are you just having a good old rest? Take care and stay positive! xx
Has your head cleared yet? Good to hear you had such a lovely time with D&A last night, and also your SW news ... well done on that.
ReplyDeleteI'm spending today with my friends, just eating, drinking and chatting xx
Yes, it has, thanks. :-)
DeleteYour day sounds lovely. xx
It sounds like you had a lovely evening, and well done on being Slimmer of the Month and the raffle winner ... you're on winning streak obviously.
ReplyDeleteI was awake at 'stupid o'clock' this morning and was in Sainsbury's before 8am. I'm glad I was, there were a few good offers on things that I usually buy, almond milk and coffee and I treated Alan to a trifle for just £2.50 ... he was very happy with that.
Nice one. It's worth going early (or very late), I think. Apart from any offers, it's usually pretty empty. When I used to go the the Thursday evening SW group, I often popped into Morrisons afterwards and usually found loads of last ditch YS offers.

Well done on all the SW things. Glad you had a nice time with son and DiL. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sooze. xx
DeleteSo glad you had a good evening. I'm finding more and more that I can only have a glass and half of wine or I live to regret it the next day - very annoying!

We're getting older, Alison! Such a shame. :-) xx
DeleteSounds like you needed some more rest when you fell asleep again!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely visit.
I really did. It was a big help. :-) xx
DeleteYou sound like you had a lovely evening and if you fell asleep your body really needed the rest.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It was brilliant - I had a great time, thank you. xx
DeleteCongratulations on another win! I took Lily to buy and advent candle yesterday but the ones I could see were disappointing, so I'm looking forward to seeing yours :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jules. I actually don't have a big Advent candle this year. I have a calendar with twenty four doors and each day has a little tea light inside.
DeleteWhat I also have is the four candle Advent thingy and today I will light the first candle because it's the first Advent Sunday. Must remember to attempt a photo. xx
Have you tried online for Lily's candle?
