just a quickie!!

I went back to the doctor's today and my bloodtests were all ok although my cholestrol was a bit high, 6.7 instead of 5 so back on the diet in the new year!! I was told to take walks and watch the birds to de stress something I do anyway and carry on taking the tablets.

Made the stuffings and brandy butter this morning and put in freezer, two less things to worry about. This afternoon I wrapped up all the presents whilst watching Roswell. Have finished Battlestar Gallactica which I thought was the last series so that was a bit of a surprise still don't know who is the last cylon!

Catch up!

I've had a busy week with christmas cards to make and send, presents to buy and wrap and finally, pages for my journal!!

I still have a few more to do to catch up but hopefully will get them done over the next couple of days now that most of my cards are made.

I finally gave in and went to the doctors on Thursday, she sent me for a blood test and I have to go back to her next week. Hopefully I will soon be fighting fit.

It's so cold!!!

Here is the next page of my album, about the weather! The last few years it has been very mild right up to Christmas so this cold weather has been a big shock to the system!! I took a photo of the garden but the light wasn't very good, but that's what it was like so I am not going to stress about it.

Have bought the ingredients to make my christmas cake so hope to get that done soon. I've made several more cards too so feel on top of things at the moment. I know how soon that can change though!

Jamie is coming round this evening to watch spurs play and I am still cheering after Burnley beat Arsenal yesterday, we're still supporting them for you Dad!!

First page

Here are the first pages of my christmas journal, it takes me so long deciding how I will do these journals but I am quite pleased with the new, funky, me as I usually opt for a traditional style!
Jenny and I have decided to go for a gatefold album so will have to make the cover later I think.
I'm trying to keep it very simple this year and may add extra photos and recipes etc as the mood takes me.

My Christmas Journal

Today I started shimelle's christmas class, you can find it http://www.shimelle.com/classes/389/journal-your-christmas/

I love Christmas and I am determined to do this journal again, you can see last year's pages here http://www.flickr.com/photos/10730448@N04/page4/.

In a determined effort to get fit and well for Christmas I have gone back on my iron tablets and I can already feel the difference. I so dislike taking any form of medication that I have not taken iron for several months, sometimes you have to give in though!

Jenny and I went round the shops this morning and I bought a couple more presents. I was really looking for some chocolate to put in the advent calender I had made, you wouldn't think it would be so difficult, I finally came back home and opened some mints to put in it! Being me however, that wasn't easy as I couldn't pull out some of the drawers, they had got stuck to the DST, thank goodness Jenny was here to sort it out as the whole thing came close to being put in the bin, all this because my DS3 moans I don't get him an advent calender anymore!!
