If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!And I still haven’t packed or done all the tidying. I have however done all the shopping and washed all the clothes we might need. Tomorrow’s job is the packing and cleaning.
I have also changed my blog template. I’ve [...]

…I will (hopefully) have landed in Scotland ready to start our Christmas holiday!
Which means I have less than 3 days to finsh buying presents (the munchkin’s stocking, last bits for Mr H’s siblings and their other halves, final bits for Mr H), wash (and dry) all clothes we want to take with us, pack, sort the [...]

For the first time (I think) I’ve been given a bloggy award!
 
Thank you Chris!
I’m going to pass it on to Suburban Mum for being my first bloggy friend and always making me smile either here, on her blog or on Facebook, and to MissBliss for letting me reminisce about Cambridge through her posts and giving me [...]

My ornament swap from Julie’s ornament exchange has arrived!
The post popped through the door, then a little while later the bell rang….the post lady was there with the van for parcels! It took me a while to work out what it could be. I saw the USPS mark and thought it might be from my [...]

That’s what I’m trying to bear in mind as we fight off a nasty cold in the H house. I started feeling rough on Friday with the cold hitting with full force on Saturday. The munchkin, while not as bunged up and hoarse as I am, is definitely off colour and waking in the night [...]

The sermon tonight: [...]

 
Some winter pros and cons:
+ Beautiful frosty scenary
- Very cold fingers when I try and photograph it
+ Spider’s webs look amazing
- They’re mainly at the back of the house which is where the sun is all day so they melt quickly
+ The munchkin looks gorgeous all wrapped up in her big coat, hat and gloves
- [...]

It always amuses me how much enjoyment the munchkin finds from helping me do the chores, especially the things I loath. We’ve just worked together to load the washing machine (the washing is the chore I hate the most), and she took such joy from putting the clothes I gave her into the machine. Given [...]

After the stresses of the last few weeks I’ve definitely been looking forward to the bright spot that is Christmas. And now with the tree up and partially decorated (Mr H wants to buy some silver tinsel to put on it) and my favourite Christmas album playing on the computer as I type I’m definitely [...]

I had a helpful comment on my last post about the Blogger comments. It appears that there is a setting that Blogger users can change that will enable commenters to leave details of their own blogs more easily. The comment (on my blog) links to another blog with useful info for blogger users. Hope it helps someone.
