I feel like I am ready for Christmas, well apart from getting the fresh food shop delivered, I have the slot booked and everything in the basket, now we just wait for delivery day! The freezer food has been bought, presents wrapped, lots of Christmas movies watched and I am feeling more festive with each passing day.
Stu had a treat, having Friday and yesterday off work. It worked out really well because our internet went off sometime in the early hours of Friday morning and didn't come back on. He rang Sky and they said there was a fault with our box and they're sending a new one out which should have arrived yesterday but after having a look on Facebook there must have been about 25 people, all customers of Sky with no internet. It took Sky until lunchtime on Friday to acknowledge there was a problem in our area. Ugh!
Now for a photo every day!

Sharing a bit of real life, a mountain of washing. It was clean, it just needed to be put away. It all got folded and took upstairs by Stu and Ellie.

Terry's Chocolate Oranges are around all year but they are something I associate with the festive season. I always remember getting one a year, in my Christmas stocking. It seemed like such a treat, now I probably eat one every couple of months.

Becky got all of her Christmas shopping done within a couple of days and was showing off what she had bought people from town. She was so proud of herself and can't understand why it takes me weeks to buy all the presents. lol

We got Becky's report from her heart check up! I have learned not to Google the words and terms that they use in the medical world when it comes to hearts as it's all so confusing and can cause worry, we're just taking the fact they don't want to see her for two years as a good thing and are ignoring the leaky heart valves.

I got Ellie and I a meal deal for lunch which came with the food shop order. In my opinion this year Asda has the best Christmas sandwiches and snacks. Ellie has a prawn cocktail sandwich and chicken and stuffing balls with a cranberry dip and I had a Boxing Day sandwich with turkey, ham, coleslaw and chutney and as a snack mini waffles, marshmallows and chocolate dip! Yum!

My dad came to the rescue when our internet went down, he loaned us his router thing from his office. It's such a clever thing. It doesn't need to be wired in or have a phoneline to work, you just plug it in anywhere and you have internet, it's like magic!

The last flower in my garden, a pretty little marigold. What a trooper it is, hanging on this late into the year!
I agree with you - if the medical professionals say the test is ok for 2 years - that's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteNice update, I haven't had a Terry's Orange in decades!
ReplyDeleteStop! You're making me panic with talk of having everything done lol. I am so far behind this year. Yes medical notes can be confusing but a two year gap between appointments seems positive.
ReplyDeleteBoo to the internet issues. Ours was off for a week as well. I was fuming. Thankfully, I had our Starlink dish and had to pay to use that so I could work. Glad your Dad came to the rescue, it's rubbish when things play up.
ReplyDeleteGlad Becky's check-up went well. Yes, definitely stay away from Google, it can be so misleading.
The sandwiches sound yummy, and I love that you have some colour in your garden. xx
I've not really had any christmassy festive food (other than chocolates). I begrudge paying the prices for terry's chocolate oranges now (Sainsbury's was £2 on deal which was worse than the £1.80 standard price I'd seen elsewhere!). I thought I'd done all my Christmas shopping, but the OH didn't get what he'd planned to for his mum, so now I need to get her something instead. Sigh
ReplyDeleteWe didn´t have the internet this morning due to extreme weather. No fun! Glad yours has been sorted. That chocolate orange looks really good! I have never had one and I think I need to change that. That flower is awesome- what a fun find. What a relief that Becky only needs to go back to the doctor in two years. I hope your Sunday is going well!
