Week 49 of #Project365 - A photo every day for a year!

I keep having to check that I have got the week right for Project 365. It seems like we can't be up to week 49 already but we are and I've just realised that the kids only have a couple of more weeks at school and college! Eek! 

Today I am hopefully finishing off the last of the present buying. All I have left to get is some clothes for the kids, selection boxes, pj's and some stocking fillers.

Now for a photo everyday!

A christmas plaque on the fireplace
Harry Potter on the TV and my youngest opening her advent calendar
The Christmas elf on the shelf and a pot noodle and packet of crisps
A mini decorated Christmas tree and a stuffed Monkey toy.

334/365 - 30th November
A wooden plaque that I got from the Pound shop. I think it's really pretty. It was one of the new Christmas decorations that I bought.

335/365 - 1st December
I don't think there's anything better than snuggling up on the sofa with the kids and watching a Harry Potter film on a Sunday afternoon.

336/365 - 2nd December
Ellie is loving her Smiggle advent calendar. I did have doubts about buying it but it's well worth the £18 I paid for it so far. Every day she opens it and says this is the best thing yet! lol 

337/365 - 3rd December
Our Christmas elf. I am not moving it around this year but the kids have taken over. Ellie says she isn't moving it and my teen says the same too so it must be magic!

338/365 - 4th December
A lazy lunch. I am needing something warm during the day now and soup and beans on toast gets a bit boring. I also wish the Glazed ham crisps weren't a seasonal thing, they are so tasty! 

339/365 - 5th December
I was sent a mini, real Christmas tree to review and I love it. It's on my kitchen window sill at the moment and it will be planted outside in the garden in a few weeks.

It's been a while since Monkey appeared on here, or it seems like it anyway. Ellie is growing out of him. She still has to cuddle him in bed but he's coming downstairs less and less, he doesn't come for days out anymore and it makes me rather sad that my girl is growing up.

  1. It must be such a relief to be nearly finished with the Christmas shopping. I think we are nearly done too. Typically we only bought our nephews' presents a few days ago, then we saw something perfect for them today! So we bought them ready for their birthdays. I can relate to what you're going through with Monkey with my daughter's Teddy. He always used to go downstairs with her every morning until about year 6. Now she only has him bed.

  2. I still have quite a bit of shopping to do for Christmas, especially stocking stuff. A smiggle calendar sounds great. The mini tree looks lovely.

  3. I do like your little Christmas tree. I had a similar review a few years ago and mine is still in a pot in the garden. I might bring it in and use it as a second tree. Love that the girls have taken on the elf.

  4. Oh, you are super organised. I have only bought one gift. One. What's inside the Smiggle calendar? Haven't seen any before. Eddie would like the Glazed ham crisps, I must keep an eye for them.
    And Nooo to the elf, I find it so creepy, sorry, gives me the shivers every time I see rows of them in The Works. :) Your mini tree is lovely.
