1. My Mum stays with me quite a lot. Probably more than is necessarily appropriate, given that her house is only 5 minutes away, but bless her heart, she is worth her weight in gold. This week I have hosted my church group (more on the (non-)event of that later). I had been trying to do a bit of housework and generally have a tidy up, and mother bless her helped and did a lot of cleaning and probably made it much nicer than I would have done, so yay for nice tidy clean guest-worthy house!
2. I have booked a couple of nights to get away down to Cornwall next weekend and I'm really looking forward to it, I'm sure there will be more about that in next weekend's post!
3. Last night I went to the Hen Party of a lovely crafty friend (as in we do crafts together, she's not sneaky ;) ) who is the daughter of a lady in my church group. A most excellent time was had by all, we dressed up (see below) and ate Chinese food! Bring on the wedding now!
4. I ordered a very special book recently, and it's arrived! I have read my friend's chapter (she wrote and did loads of photograph and design work for it!). I have started reading the rest of it, and so far it is really uplifting! I will doing a review of “Standing Tall with Turner Syndrome” for my other blog, www.butterflythinker.blogspot.co.uk in due course!
5. Like I was saying, Thursday night I was due my cell group round at my house. 7pm came and went, and I made sure food was being cooked so it was all ready, the table had been laid, and it got to 7:20. And two people turned up! But I am glad for this, because it meant we got to get the scrabble board out and have a game, which of course I didn't win, but SOMEONE would have been a nightmare if they'd lost ;). We were then going to play Operation but got scuppered by lack of AAA batteries. And oh I nearly forgot the most amazing bite sized dessert pieces brought for afters, which I am still working my way through (being very restrained!).
6. I am thankful that I like pasta, and I have a freezer, as given the severe lack of bodies on Thursday night I had A LOT of food left over. I will be working through it, and it is going to sustain me for several meals.
7. I am today picking up some lovely gifts I have ordered and made personalised by my lovely friend who is very crafty and makes many such things. They are going to be Christmas presents, and I'm hoping they are going to go down very well. It's brilliant to be able to support my friend in her business venture.
8. A customer yesterday came into my shop and was on her way to Gregg's (lovely chain of bakers for those not in the know). She offered to bring us some cakes, and we declined, said she mustn't, that it was way too much to do, that we shouldn't be eating cakes. But lo and behold, 15minutes later the lady came back in with a box of cakes for us – what a lovely gesture!
9. My sister is coming round tonight and making me an awesome roast dinner - enough said!
10. Okay, it's somewhat reluctantly, but due to a drop out I get to miss the sermon today and be a big kid and play with the babies! And I get to work with another lady who I don't think I've done the creche with before, so should be good.
Okay, so leave a comment, and get yourself over to Considerings and make your own list!
