Is it just me or has the winter weather/evenings just crept in overnight? The weather was awful last night and the evenings are much shorter now.
Definitely has! I'm finding I even need to turn on all the kitchen lights in the morning while the boys are eating their breakfast as it's become so dark and dull

Heres a story that will give you a bit of a giggle. ! I'm sure my elves will completely understand however
Mr glitz the lovely man that he is unexpectedly announced that he would sit down with me one evening when the kids go to sleep to discuss and plan in detail a battle plan for Christmas prep. Everything from shopping to decorations to the main event itself!
This was obviously a totally unexpected and out of the blur gesture by Mr glitz who hates organising and talking and christmas haha but I jumped at it and nearly took his hand off to accept his offer .
The night in question comes , I am bouncing up and down with excitement, kids are asleep and mr glitz manages to keep his composure when he says "right let's get this over with , where do you wanna start?" And I casually walk over to a drawer and pull out a big christmas binder with "the Robinson family christmas planner " on it and start reading through every thing I have on a week by week basis from Sept prep to December sales ! Poor mr glitz' expression went from amused to horrified as I read. And he not so causally asked so how long have you had this up your sleeve ? To which I said oh only about 8 years. How do you think I've organised christmas single handed every year sure !? :pac:
I asked was there anything he wanted to add to it. He said nope you have it all covered. You have a problem. And I still get brownie points for this conversation without having to do any work !!
Moral of the story next time don't reveal the binder !!!! 0 -

I love seeing my news feed on fb fill up with craft shops reminding you to book your orders and how busy they are getting ! A few homeware and textile shops are taking deposits on Christmas bedding and linens and carraig donn had a small selection of christmas stuff out.
Although it is kind of scary how quickly this year went! It litterly feels like a few weeks ago I was walking through the shops looking at Christmas decorations and getting ready for the toy show 0 -

Well I am sooo excited I just had to share. As most of you know I work from home and I've just had my first christmas booking of 2016 i don't know who was more excited myself or the client :pac:
I also booked all my own hair and beauty appointments for halloween /christmas yesterday so feeling super festive. I may even have watched Arthur Christmas today while I cleaned my sitting room ... 0 -
