My Year - 30th November - I love him

James is such an angel. Yesterday he painted all my craft room and tonight he has come home from work and built the cupboard units to go in there. I am getting very excited to have my very own craft room and it is going to look fab – all gloss white and black. Watch this space for more updates.

My Year - 29th November - Another New Toy

James decided that he needed a new strimmer to go with his new lawn mower, so off he went early to B&Q to get one.
He was hoping to have a play in the garden with the mower and the strimmer but it is raining so hard that he couldn’t. He was so disappointed. He did manage to have a quick go between the showers. Still I found him some other jobs to do – paint my new craft room.

My Year - 28th November - Friend's Lunch

A couple of times a year, we get together with James’ old school friends. We all have kids now so it is nice for them together. Rock is Zoe’s godfather and this is his oldest son Ollie and Zoe playing together. It was nice to have a day off of sorting the house out.

My Year - Daddy's New Toy

James’ other Christmas present was from his mum and dad and is a new petrol lawn mower. The garden is 120 ft long at the new house and our old Flymo wouldn’t be up to the job. He has been like a kid with a new toy waiting for this to come today.

My Year - 26th November - Anthurium

Whilst sat in Haskins restaurant last week, I spotted these great plants and thought how great one would look in our hallway on the oak table – and how right I was!! Plus they look quite Christmassy.

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
