Well it's coming..VT is getting his things ready to take away with him, every year he says "I'm not taking as much this year" but he always does Bless him! Mine is done very last minute, just go around collecting things up. he is very planned and organised.
The doorbell went earlier, and it was my Bauble Swap from the Delia site. It is from Jodance..Joanna, and is a really cute little Santa with dangly legs..I love him. Plus somesweet little carved wooden decorations which will look lovely on the tree in the front room.
In the seventies, when VT and I used to go on the train to London, I bought some decorations from Liberty's and thought they cost a fortune. They were £1.50 for six..and that was REALLY expensive at the time. But, we've had them for about thirty odd years and they still look good. Quality really.
Adverts all over the papers and television, and a lot of talk about the credit crunch Christmas. Too much advertising though, especially CD's. They really get on your nerves.
We took my money to Waitrose this morning, mainly because we wanted to go somewhere near to home, and we didn't intend getting a lot of things, bearing in mind that we are away next Thursday.
Still bought quite a lot though, and because they are expensive we still end up spending a lot. It's quality stuff, but you do pay for it.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn Toad in the Hole. The reason for that is because it was reduced, and a bargain.
Gravy with some caramelised onion in it,
Roasted Winter Vegetables. Should make a tasty tea.
