Christmas is upon us

Real tree is the answer and it's beautiful.  Darren, Catherine and Phoebe (and Honeybun) visited this weekend, we had 'such fun'.  Phoebe is so 'interactive' now (her Dads word). She is a friendly little soul with lots of character and I loved having the family stay with us.  We went down to John and Maragrets Bring and Buy Sale then came home and had a 'Strictly Come Dancing Finale Party' - Battery operated Glitter Ball included! 

Ann, Stephen & Bethan with us now until the middle of next week with Elise coming for Christmas Day.  Should be more fun, I am going to spend an hour or so with the Ghaffoori family in Lichfield Christmas morning - yeah! 

Christmas is Coming.....

Real or Artificial?

16 Days, 12 hours and Christmas Day will be upon us, 17 days and 12 hours - it will all be over!  I AM looking forward to it, the day itself should be marvellous. The girls are with us, Nanny Ann & Grampy and going to see the gorgeous Phoebe in the morning. Mark & Annette and their Mums are coming after they have had lunch at the Red Lion, and all the Morrells are coming up in the evening.   Phew!


We already have some decorations up, waiting to get the tree for the conservatory now, I am seriously thinking of buying an artificial tree, I know Darren won't approve, but it does save the worry of watering, droopage and dropping.  We will get it on Saturday come what may.

Another week of more stress in the McInerney financial department, can't go into it, but worrying to say the least.  I'll be glad when 2012 kicks in and things are sorted (ha ha ha or lol). 

Off to Lichfield tomorrow to see darling Phoebe (and Mum and Dad) for a couple of hours.  Have bought her a new dress and bibs for Christmas, but she can have them now, she knows no better.
