busy busy bee....

I have only just come to terms with the fact that it's January.....and then I realise it's the 18th...and that means it's not that far away from February - crikey! Let's hope Feb is a little less icy than a lot of January was !

I have been busy actually, finished my training course, got my good marks (yippee!!), sewed lots of bags for Xmas presents, looked out at the snow and ice while afraid to leave the house in case of falls, and finally started to tidy and declutter so that bubs will have a room, and some space for his things. We're off to Ikea this weekend for a bookcase and a kitchen unit, so it's all go on project nesting.

I have also got lots of things to do - I've yet to make a tote bag for my beloved auntie who lives in Lewisham, which I have been meaning to do for her for months. She very kindly sent me some info and templates on Japanese patchwork, and I wanted to make her a small thank you bag, so must really get to that soon. Also packing the hospital bag at the moment, as well as trying to remember to do tax claims and all those boring jobs - and as for the cleaning of the house.......shudder.....it's a nightmare. So much so that when the decluttering is over, some of my Xmas money is being spent on getting in Ange (my domestic angel from when I had a job!!) to do a top to bottom clean - now that is my ideal present - a spotless house! Another present which I am getting tomorrow is a day at Seafield - yippeee - use of thermal suite, lunch, massage, facial, manicure and pedicure - BLISS.....and I cannot wait! Any longer and I won't be able to fit behind the steering wheel, so gotta go and be pampered soon, might be last one for a while. Can't wait - lucky, lucky me...
