getting ready

This weekend has been spent getting ready, seeing friends, getting the last couple of presents but above all cleaning. We have been doing lots of messy diy jobs lately so I have spent a lot of the last two days sorting out and cleaning up. But I am nearly there now, phew. And we have just waved goodbye to Holly, who is off with her nan to meet father christmas at a santa sleepover at alton towers. She is so excited! And a big thank you to Emma , this is the wonderful prize I won in her latest giveaway, how lucky am I. This is a very bad but quite atmospheric photo I took when we went Ice skating at Hampton Court Palace last week (I managed to not fall over but I'm not sure how) And these were the last biscuits which Holly wanted to give to her dancing teachers yesterday. The biscuit factory is now closed! : )
