the night before christmas

I have had a fantastic last few days, my birthday was perfect, even the snow on the floor and the cold on my chest could not spoil my fun.

I had lots of lovely cards...

and lots of lovely presents, a lovely family day out a some delicious food.

and now its Christmas eve already, and all the presents are wrapped, the fridge is fully stocked. There is still a generous layer of snow outside, its looks so pretty against my fairy lights.

But inside is just as pretty and a lot warmer too! We are all so excited here, the kids would have gone to bed at 3.30 this afternoon if they thought it would have made Christmas morning come any sooner. So now we are just waiting...for the big special day to arrive and I've done all I can do for now

so all that's left to say is...Cheers and Merry Christmas everyone! I'm off track Santa with the kids : )

Christmas sales

and here's what I've got my eye on...

Faux fur snood

Fur lined parker...perfect for waiting in a chilly playground at home time.

Cute shoes and in a great colour...I love a chunky heel

and finally...if I only get one thing please let it be this...

need i say more!

oh and I need a new pair of dark wash jeans so I'll be looking out for a pair, not a bad lil sale wish list and all with-in my budget too :) The online sale begins today but the main sale starts in-stores Christmas eve...Good luck ;)

snowed in, poorly and about to turn a year older!

I've not left the house in two days, the snow put a stop to our plans the weekend (family get-together and visit to our local Christmas grotto with the kids) and then along came a cold and it looks like its gonna be staying for while, its made itself very comfortable on my chest...and just in time to help me celebrate my birthday tomorrow too! But I've still got things to do...family to visit...presents to deliver...and one present left to buy and wrap. So I'm wrapping myself up warm today and me and my cold are braving the snow and getting on with things...on the Plus side its my birthday tomorrow and I've got plans, pre birthday meal tonight with one of my bestest friends, out for lunch with the blokey and my babies tomorrow, a snoop round the shops...oh and the opening of presents and cards...I can't wait! Here's a few that I've already opened and been very lucky enough to use thanks to the blokey...

My new 'goes with everything' animal print scarf.

faux leather bag with lovely chain detail and more animal print inside.

and my new favorite find that found me...it has lovely ruched detail at the sides near the hem, it looks great with my black ribbon worn as a belt.

I'm such a lucky girl...and no snow or nasty colds gonna ruin my day! ; )

something for the weekend

So happy its finally Friday, can't wait to pick the kids up from school later, get home and settle down for the weekend. Not got a lot planned so just gonna chill and enjoy these....

January's Elle and Instyle

Can't wait to watch this

and I can't wait to try this out!...my yoga class has finished now until the new year, I got this so I can still get my fix!

also on the agenda is some present wrapping, helping my 4 year old daughter write her class Christmas cards and watching more dvd's with the kids. BLISS...

Happy weekend :)
