I couldn't bear the shame any longer so instead of wasting more time going shopping for an advent calendar I hopped up into the loft this afternoon to pull down the old faithful I cross-stitched for the first Christmas spouse and I lived together. I'd picked up a small box of Miniature Heroes earlier and set to filling it up. Planning all the time to let Chookie eat the first five choccies in a oner.
I didn't have enough for every pocket so she doesn't get one at all until tomorrow. Fail!
The bathroom door is on, though! I'm painting it tomorrow and then we're just small snagging (tidying silicon and stuff) Yay!!
It's about time you slacker mum!;)

I bet you ate the first five! Ha!!
Yeah! Well done on the bathroom, the advent calendar and last but never least 'the 5 blog ' of December
ReplyDeleteHey, she got Sushi and stuff in the first five days, I'm sure more chocolates can be supplied if necessary.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've managed to claw back some remnants of being an ace Mum ;)
Lovely! And phew on the bathroom door, that'll make a big difference!! Glad its allllllmost done :-)
ReplyDeleteROFL, you've almost rescued her from becoming a monster ;o)
ReplyDeleteYour cross stitch one is better than anything you'd have got in the shop so you did right in getting it out the loft! Hey it's a family heirloom now.
ReplyDeleteJust get the chocolate out too then you can countdown! So pleased that the bathroom door is on to protect you from the drafts (and prying eyes)! Di x
ReplyDeleteWe don't even have a tree yet. Nuff. Said.
