It is Thursday evening and I can’t believe how fast this week has gone. Tomorrow it will a week ago since my husband’s mum and dad came down for Henry (my son’s) birthday.
Also a week ago since it was my brother’s birthday. I stayed in today waiting for a delivery. I really don’t like it when you get a text from the delivery services some retailers use, saying “Delivery will be before 9pm”. I really want to apply, “I hope so, any later you’ll disturb my son sleeping and usually I am in bed by then, watching TV”. Tonight I watch DIY SOS (when it is on) and The Apprentice.
As if any company would deliver up until midnight. Well I would hope not anyway, and it doesn’t help anymore knowing that you may have to stay in all day, because as luck has had it, as soon as I leave the house, it will be delivered. I can guarantee that, so it is good you get a text knowing that the delivery will be today, but it would be nice if they said between 1pm to 4pm for an example, then you have more idea of when it will arrive and then I can plan to go out for a couple of hours.
However it gave me a chance to upload a video I edited yesterday, and do some cleaning.
Plus I am reading a really good book called “The Gospel According to Drew Barrymore” A brilliant read. I will do a review on http://www.carriesrealworld.com soon.
I haven’t watched I’m a celebrity get me outta here yet. I haven’t really had a chance with it being a busy time of year. I hope to catch up soon.
I still got to catch up on Strictly come dancing from last Saturday. It really is a busy season and I have almost got all my gifts for this year. I have bought some gifts from Very.co.uk as like Freemans too, are doing 3 for 2 on many of their items. However I do find that Very is a lot more cost effective than Freemans. Some items I do find are too expensive in price, and many of their items are no different to what they sold last year.
Just got a few more to buy and I am going to be making a Christmas Cake this year to take up to Southampton to my In-laws, I would say always plan to do this a month ahead.
When done I will post a picture.
I wrote a new blog on my website below, about Loneliness, which you can check out on my WordPress site https://everybodycanbuildacastle.wordpress.com
There will be a lot of people who will feel lonely this time of year. Christmas is about sharing love with others and if you know someone who is lonely then give them your time, have a coffee with them or a drink, just knowing that there is someone who does care for them, can mean an awful lot.
Many thanks for reading,
