    That's my summer holidays over so once the nights get colder again Christmas kind of starts for me.

    I love Winter.

    Hollister I got my son's school book list today school tours are on next week. Weather is cold and dull enough to have fire lit and blankets on couch and lights on. It's so close I can almost taste it !

    We only put our summer duvet on the bed this week. Looking forward to more lovely warm days over the next couple of months.

    Im still hoping to get some more summer out of this year, but I do like to see these kind of list starting to surface. ‘Must Have Toys 2016’, I can see the SelfieMic being a big hit.

    Crazy day here. My husband has been working in Belfast and I have been taking advantage of the free UK postage and sending him loads of toys and bits for S's birthday and Christmas. And also got him to pick up some stuff from Gumtree UK and adverts. He arrived down this morning with the car packed with boxes and boxes of great stuff. I locked myself in the bedroom to unpack it and sort through it. I also got down a lot of the stuff I had at the top of my wardrobe and sorted all that too. Then finally put almost everything in the attic. I'm so excited I'm like a small child. Can't for the two big days so I can get it all back down and give it to him!!!

    Just realised that because Christmas Day and New Years Day both fall on a Sunday this year - we will have 2 days off in lieu from work. So I'm off from 23rd to the 2nd January inclusive - I might take the 3rd-6th off as well - make it an extra long festive holiday :pac:

    That would be a nice break alright. I sometimes take the few days leading up to Christmas a go for nice lunches with friends. I just love the atmosphere of Christmas week.

    Picking up a few more christmas presents tomorrow , getting excited thinking about it now ! Seeing some of the stores having clearance sales and the back to school books and stationary in stock makes me realise how close we are to christmas !! Or maybe it's because I'm relaxing here watching miracle on 34th street :pac:

    At least it will be cheaper to go up the North and shop because of Brexit.

    The only good to come out of it.

    The only thing I'm looking forward to after the Euros is college starting back.

    I have been on my holidays, so the Christmas season needs to hurry up now.

    We still have the Olympics to look forward to! And we're going to book a holiday at some stage. And then obviously everyone will be celebrating my birthday. :cool: And then we can properly look forward to Christmas.
