Christmas shopping may commence

I never ever do any Christmas shopping until after the children's birthdays so today was the day I could make a start and I had a little spend this afternoon using some of my photos but that is about as much as I am going to give away for now.....just in case.  I do love Christmas shopping, trying to find the right gift for the right person.  I already have some ideas for the family which is quite surprising actually.  I have even made a wish list for myself on Amazon so that family members can be directed there if they ask.  I always find I can't think of anything if I am asked directly.

A productive day was had today as Daniel and I finished painting the front fence as well.  Just got to get the back one done next time we have some dry weather.  I also managed to cut back some of the trees around the animals shed so they will have more light now if they have to stay in if it gets too cold and wet for them outside.  I cleaned out some of the rubbish from my car, did some washing but am on ironing strike as I just cannot be bothered.  Am going to wait until someone notices because I folded all my clothes when they came out of the tumble drier and have left it.

Yesterday my furniture arrived for the kitchen area, just two simple chairs where I can sit and have a coffee 
( if I ever get the chance to sit down) and a small coffee table ( which Sarah very kindly assembled yesterday with a little bit of difficulty I have to say.  So it is all finished now apart from removing the other table that Martin has sited there.  That has to be a bit of a diplomatic move.......
