Saturday

 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

  1. 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.

    I'm spending today with my friends, just eating, drinking and chatting xx

  2. 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.
    I 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.

    1. 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.

  4. So 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!

  6. You sound like you had a lovely evening and if you fell asleep your body really needed the rest.

    God bless.

  7. Congratulations 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 :)

    1. Thanks, 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.
      What 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

    2. Have you tried online for Lily's candle?
