Hello! I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and that you are enjoying these peaceful days between the Christmas excitement and the New Year celebrations. We have had a lovely week, although it’s a bit of an understatement to say that Christmas didn’t go quite to plan this year…
To start things off, Asda managed to seriously mess up our Christmas dinner groceries delivery on Sunday 23rd, which meant that we had to spend part of our Christmas Eve searching the supermarkets for missing items – in particular, the makings of the necessary pigs in blankets, and a Christmas pudding! After hitting a few of the biggest shops we managed to track down everything we needed, though it wasn’t quite the restful morning we had planned after James had driven to Northumberland and back at the weekend to fetch his grandparents.
Once we’d sorted all that out, and been to the hospital and back for my antenatal clinic & consultant appointment (all is ok in that department), we had dinner as usual and settled Georgie into bed. We hung her Christmas stocking on her little tree, then sorted, boxed & piled up the masses of stuff we needed to take to my Mother-in-Law’s the next day to spend the day celebrating with her and her parents, including the slightly daunting task of cooking Christmas dinner for everyone.
