My Year - 25th November - Christmas Present

James has been saying that he wanted a water butt as it has been raining so much and that it could be installed to come off the garage guttering. So I decided to buy him one and that he could have it as his christmas present

My Year - 24th November - Next Year's Photo Subject

Us 365’ers have been discussing what we could do next year and Barbara suggested using a teddy in each shot. This stems from the Hedgie antics which started on our retreat back in June. I have decided to use Pamela and baby Jay.

My Year - 23rd November - Bedrooms 3 & 4 done

James has had this week off and so he has been busy finishing the last 2 bedrooms. I have done the cutting in when I have got home from work. Our old bedroom furniture will go into bedroom 3 which we will use as a guest room once our new fitted furniture comes in December. Things are coming together now!

My Year - 22nd November - Sarah's 40th

It was my sister in law’s 40th birthday and so we went to the New Forest for lunch. Zoe loves spending time with Connor and Lily and Isabel. The pub had a big outside play area and so as soon as the kids had eaten we didn’t see them again.

My Year - 21st November - Family Party

James’ cousin Michael is over from the States with his wife and 2 children. We have never met Tara or the children before so a family get together was organised. The eldest boy is adopted from the Ukraine 2 years ago and then Tara fell pregnant with baby Emma – the kids all got on really well.

My Year - 20th November - Zoe's Bedroom

Today we managed to finish Zoe’s room whilst she was at pre-school. We had to build her bed again and sort all her toys out. We just need to get her en-suite bathroom tiled so that it is usable.
She wasn’t very happy with it as she wanted it painted pink like her old room. All was soon forgotten when her friends came round and trashed it!

My Year - 19th November - One Bedroom Down

We have worked so hard all week trying to get the bedrooms decorated before we put all the furniture in them. Today we finished our bedroom today – all painted, new bed and bedding. We are having fitted wardrobes but they are not being done until 22nd December but at least it is livable.
