Merry Christmas One and All




Well, it's almost upon us. Good luck everyone. Hope the celebrations go fantastically well for you all.





Slight mishap yesterday whilst changing the sheets on the beds. You see, because I'm lazy that way, I usually throw the dirty linen down the stairwell. This keeps my hands free to carry the zillion and one cups and plates down from the kids' rooms. Two jobs for the price of one, see.

Unfortunately, this time I totally forgot that there was a beautifully decorated Christmas tree standing directly underneath the stairwell. I remembered just as the last thread of bed sheet left my fingers and began its decent.

Nothing smashed fortunately, but the carpet was strewn with baubles, pine needles and beads. The south-face of the tree has now been redecorated!







Yeah, right!

HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
AND AN EXTREMELY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Blessings,
Andi xx

  6. Love the Hoover! When I was a little girl I really believed that when I grew up and became a homemaker that I would look like that all of the time, all happy and pretty while tending to the perfect house...how (not so) funny.

    Glad nothing got broken by your flying sheets.

    Have a Very Merry Christmas!

  7. for one moment I thought you'd hung on to the sheets and flung the crockery!

    If it's any consolation, my mishap this week was to reverse the pick-up back into the drive SMACK into Mark's car...radiator, lights, front grille...all taken out without a moment's hesitation...ho hum!

    Have a great Christmas, have loved reading your blog, thanks for the lovely posts, and the comments you leave for me.

  13. Well that's novel, decorating your tree with dirty linens! That hoover advert is amazing isn't it? I wonder how many women did receive one back then. Many years ago I did know of a woman whose husband bought her saucepans so she bought him the matching chip pan the next year.
