    Morning! January flew. I'm absolutely exhausted at the moment so I'm looking forward to doing very little at the weekend. Might throw on Arthur Christmas!

    By coincidence my dress arrived today and it's fabulous. It looks like something that could have cost five times the price. Word of warning though, if anyone is ordering go up a size or two. I'm a 10-12 and the Large is perfect on me.

    Yesterday as I was tidying up my bedroom I found a bag of Christmas decorations that I had bought but never used. A few snow men ornaments, Christmas pj's, a light up Santa :D I feel bad now but I'd like to put the Santa up and see him shine :D

    Aaaaaw. :(

    But at least it's spring now, and Pancake Tuesday in a few weeks, and Patrick's Day Bank Holiday weekend next month to collectively cheer us up as a nation!!
    Then there's Waffle Day and of course, Easter to look forward to- kind of a mini Christmas really, in terms of time off, gorging on chocolate and Jesus being heavily involved.


    Lot's of things to look forward to; as well as your road to recovery, of course.

    Just think how great you'll be feeling when you get to see your tree again later in the year. :)

    Today I came home for the weekend. My Dad is back home for the first time in eight weeks. He come home yesterday. He had a lung transplant and my Mam kept the Christmas decorations and the tree up for him. It's Christmas again in our house. Only 10 months to go now and it's mid-December. :)
