Hello everyone. A wet day here again today with some dry patches. Had a busy day. Wanted to try to start having a good dust round before maybe putting up some ornaments and then the Sainsburys shopping arrived. In between trying to get hubby to get ready to go out this afternoon and find hat gloves and scarf to keep him warm enough. My throat is very sore and I'm very croaky. So sorted out one room dusted, sorted out Sainsburys delivery. Gave up on hubby. I make sure he had gloves in his coat pocket and he moves them and hides them so no one knows where they are. Well. I give up and he can be cold then. I'm out of sympathy. Went out this afternoon to the Memory Cafe Christmas Service and couldn't sing as my throat was too sore but I was there in body, if not in spirit. So back home and out of steam.

Good morning everyone. Its dry bright and breezy here today. I'll catch up on the washing that I didn't get round to yesterday. Not feeling so good today. Had a cup of tea and went to bed yesterday. Dozed through the night and even forgot about the election.  At least my throat isn't so sore today.

Good afternoon everyone, sorry for being AWOL for a few days, well a week. eeeek.

The second craft fair I had last Sunday was also a flop. But I've had a lot of orders on my online shop and Twitter so that's made up for it. My pocket teddy bears are very popular and not expensive, I'm glad I decided to make those.

I have put my xmas tree up, it's over 20yrs old now and still looks like new. Its a fibre optic one but I still decorate it as they tend to look so bare if left as they are. 

Diane you're very lucky to get Morrisons to deliver, I suppose that's because you're quite close to the store. They won't deliver here even though the vans go straight past. I've got some money on my More card from the fiasco of last Christmas food to order cock up so will have to go into the Bodmin store to use it. 

George is coming over for Christmas again this year, he goes back christmas night and then back again in the morning. There's nowhere here for him to stay overnight as the hobby room is so full of stuff you couldn't swing a cat in there. I've done the Christmas order from Asda and that will be delivered on 23rd in the afternoon, then if anything's not in stock I can nip out and get it elsewhere. I've just had my weekly delivery from them, and ended up with 2 tubs of Celebrations for some reason. I checked online incase I had mistakenly ordered 2 but hadn't, so someone will be without theirs this week. I ordered a tub this week as they're usually sold out nearer Christmas. I wondered whether to take it into the store in Bodmin when I go in next, but I don't think Asda will go bankrupt over one tub of chocolates so I'm going to keep schtum. 

Busy making more needlefelted pocket bears this weekend, that'll keep me occupied. 
Enjoy your day ladies.

Well I never! You know I only tried a couple of weeks ago, if that, and it said they didnt deliver to my area. 

I logged in and checked my points from last year and then tried to book a delivery and it worked! It's not very frequent like Asda but it's a couple of times every day. Its like Asda where you have to spend £40 for a delivery so seeing as I've only got a tenner in vouchers I might as well go in to the store in Bodmin and get something but it's handy to know for the future. Thank you! 

 

Afternoon all. Not feeling too good today had a gippy tummy so couldn't go out for breakfast with Gordon, his daughter and son in law.  Gordon hadn't booked so they ended up at Hill head. It was a set breakfast but large, it even defeated Don who has a good appetite.  They came back to see me although as requested they kept their distance. They kindly got me a birthday present and card - a couple of days late but never mind I know how busy they are. I had a lovely birthday I was thoroughly spoilt with nice gifts and a lovely meal at our favourite eatery.  They even gave me a delicious chocolate cake with candles to blow out  - phew that's a lot of candles! Then it was back home to find that a friend had left me a very decent bottle of wine. Yesterday we went out for lunch and met a very nice couple, we chatted for few hours and am looking forward to seeing them again next week. It's very cold here today  brr winter is here.
