Saturday 25th December: Christmas at the Hartland's

Here are the Hartlands, minus my brother, on Christmas morning, looking a little blurry eyed it has to be said.

Merry Christmas!

Friday 24th December: What a romantic!

Sometimes, just sometimes, him indoors does something right. While usually I'd vomit on spot at something so ridiculously soppy, I think the Christmas spirit is alive in me and this made me smile.

But, as Newton well know, for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction - he's sure to do something wrong in five minutes' time! Bless.

Thursday 23rd December: Packing for South America!

Just in case we have to get to Heathrow from home on the 27th, we've had to pack our bags for South America today! Have never packed for a holiday so far in advance, I don't like it!

Wednesday 22nd December: Last-minute shopping

Unsurprisingly, Oxford Street was packed with shoppers getting their last-minute pressies, and I was one of them! I think I'm done - woohoo!

Tuesday 21st December: Christmas comes early

Christmas gifts from Sarah and Jenny - thank you!

Monday 20th December: Starbucks, mmm

On way back at lunch with my first 'Red Cup' coffee - and it went down a treat when temperatures are well below freezing!

Sunday 19th December: 'Snow sucks'

Yes, it certainly does.
