Time for Brendas Photo challenge again ~ Laura Belle was the hostess this time and the theme was 'Anything New'!
I thought that I would share a few pictures of some of the NEW things that I received for Christmas!!
First up ~ my dear blogging friend Tania over at Little Sweethearts sent me these delicious belgium chocolates as a christmas present.......if you look very closely you may notice that two bars and missing ~ who ever it was that stole them must return them immediately ha ha !! (OK ~ so it was me that ate them !!!) Thank you so much Tania ~ they are wonderful and the little christmas tree decoration will look great on my tree next year!!
Next is the new bracelet that my Mum bought me for Christmas ~ the bracelet was just plain and then you buy the little silver bead charms and add to the bracelet ~ I love it!!
And finally ~ my new boots ~ I saw them and loved them ~ and had to have them ha ha !!
(Not sure that I can walk in them yet ~ but I will give it a try!!!)
Looking forward to the next challenge ~ see you all again soon!! XXA LITTLE UPDATE!!
I haven't done anything interesting ~ just all the usual day to day things that have to be done ~ the washing and ironing ~ taking down of the Christmas tree and decorations and sorting everything out for the children for school and getting back into the swing of work!!
I am exhasted and it is only Wednesday ~ I am in need of a weekend and quick ha ha !!
Tonight was my first weigh in of 2009 ~ I stepped on the scales (with my eyes closed tee hee!) In fear that the Christmas and New year dinners may have had a rather bad effect on my waistline......but I am pleased to report that I infact lost 1 pound ~ since my last weigh in a few weeks ago ~ so that is an achievement and I am happy. I did wonder whether I may have put on a pound or two ~ and was hopping to have stayed the same at best ~ so the 1 pound loss was indeed a miracle ha ha !! The running total is now 5 stone 2 pounds lost (72 pounds).
We are experiencing the coldest weather EVER here ~ over night it has dropped as low as minus 10 in some places and the wind that was blowing today was the coldest that I have ever felt!! We have all been wrapped up in about 40 layers for the school runs in the mornings ~ and last night I was so cold that I went to bed in my PJ's and dressing gown ~ fluffy socks and then I had the quilt and a throw.....and I was still cold. I was going to get up and put the heating on, but I couldn't face getting out of bed and being even colder ha ha !!!
The weather man has said that these conditions are going to continue until the weekend ~ when it should start getting warmer ~ YIPPEEEEE!! I hope they are right!
Well, there is a warm cup of tea and a dressing gown calling me ~ so I am off for another early night ~ I am hopefully going to catch up with some blogs and see what everyone else has been up to ~ so bye for now and Take Care (and keep warm...........) XXX
