Xmas Makes

Well it has been a very long time since I last posted on here, I can't believe it is nearly Christmas. For once though I do feel very prepared. I have almost made all my cards, just have 3 more to make (see below the ones I made yesterday for my parents and family). I have also almost finished my Christmas shopping which I completed mainly online. The few gifts I am yet to get I know what I am getting and I have managed to stay on budget.

I am very pleased with one of my Christmas presents that I know I am getting (because I ordered them) they are off my boyfriend. A brand new set of 36 copic pens for my card making, I cannot wait. Unfortunately they got lost in the post, but they have now been tracked down and are on there way to me, yey!

I am now all moved into our new home and I am loving having our own space. Unfortunately i have been ill for the last week so haven't been able to fully appreciate it, but I am on the mend now and beginging to get things sorted and take in my new home.

I am also on track again at weight watchers, I went to the weigh in and Christmas party last night and I have lost another 1lb, to mak 6.5lb, unfortunately still 0.5lb away from my silver seven, but I have one more weigh in before Christmas and I will get it off then. It is a long slog but I am already feeling the benefits. Being able to cook our food has also helped, lots more veggies and healthy home cooked meals.

I am also really excited at the moment about the prospect of getting a new pet in the New Year. A dog. I have always had dogs when growing up and have hated not always having one around whilst being a student and then lodging in other peoples houses, but now we are able to have a dog and even though I work I am 5 mins away so can go home for lunch and walk him, and will also have time in the mornings at night. It will also help greatly with my weight loss. I am a huge animal lover and dogs are a big passion of mine. I love training them, playing with them and just generally caring for them. I am particularly interested in getting a Goldendoodle, although Phil is currently not sold on the idea, I have however printed off a very cute piccy of a lovely curly goldendoodle to win his heart! It worked with getting a hamster, plus he always gives in to me in the end and I know he will love it when he has one.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying the build up to the festive season. Merry Christmas.
