Hello, how are ya, come in…..
I know, I know, it’s been (quite) a few days since I’ve taken my leave of absence BUT in my defence, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in wrapping paper, receipts, deliveries and all other festive paraphernalia organising. You wouldn’t believe the past few weeks I’ve had girls – but my gosh it’s good to be back and into the swing of things yet again… though I must warn you all I’ll be taking another short jolly hols over Christmas as we’re hosting the family dinner once again, so instead of my head being stuck in a laptop it’ll be popping in & out of the oven to check on the Turkey instead! Sounds wonderful right? Well, it is – as long as you’ve a hearty glass of prosecco close to hand to keep the energy levels up!
However enough waffle from me… how the heck are you lovely lot? Can you believe there’s only 15 days left til Christmas?!?! To be honest, if one more retail assistant asks if I’m “all ready for the big day?” I may have to use my newly purchased rolls of wrapping paper in ways I didn’t intend *sigh* However moving swiftly on to slightly more positive festive tidings… MY SWAP BOX ARRIVED!!!!
Yes, some of you may be scratching your heads thinking “What on earth’s this all about?”… okay, so let me explain… I’m a member of a fantastic nail group on Facebook & a few months ago the opportunity arose to take part in a Secret Santa Swap Box. Basically, there’s a £20 budget, you’re allocated a name and your box had to be sent off by a certain date. Mine, however, was almost TWO WEEKS overdue… no thanks to Royal Mail having a good old rummage. However all is explained in the video, and all the goodies are revealed too. So if you’ve a few minutes to spare and fancy seeing what my very generous ‘Secret Santa’ sent me then just make yourself comfy & press play!

Okay, I’m off to grab myself a hot chocolate and get on with some more wrapping! What’s your plans for the weekend?
Cheerio Chums…
…
Catch me on:
The swap box sounds like such a cool idea 😊

Yes me too!!!!! lol I guess we’ll just have to tread the local shops until we find something lol Postie may get a move on or there’ll be an array of ‘back up’ goodies under the tree that I doubt will go down as well….. though it’s the thought that counts, right?! lol XXX

Yay happy you’re virtually back, Karen! I was just wondering about you the other day, thinking to myself – “I know she said she was taking a week or so off for her step-daughter’s wedding, but it’s been longer! I wonder what she’s up to!” haha

hehe Jamie it’s SO good to be back huni!!!! I sure did take a little longer than anticipated but it was worth it to catch up and recharge my batteries as I was sore and exhausted after I cam back – I knew I’d be distracted writing blog posts in so much pain and with such an extensive ‘to do’ list! Good to know that I’m still being thought about though – that really makes me smile 🙂 Hope you are keeping well lovely, great to get a chatter with you as always *huge hugs* XXXXXX
