The Good, the Bad and the Snuggly...

The Good... in the form of great mail days.  I have had a couple recently, but haven't yet shown you.

Benta went into production-line-mode on her lipbalm holders, and I was a lucky recipient... 


How brilliant that i. it has MY name on it, so the girls know it is not theirs for the taking, and ii. that it will clip onto the key fob in my handbag, so no more rummaging, and even better, no more searching the footwell following those sudden breaking episodes!

More Good from Alyce - Blossom Heart Quilts.  I was so lucky to have won her brilliant SMS Giveaway Day prize of some lovely Japanese Christmas fabrics, and also one month of her splendid Etsy shop's Japanese Bundle Club; so I am able to extend the joy, and have another parcel of lovelies to look forward to next year.


Thank you again ladies, I really appreciate The Good in my world right now.

The Bad... the central heating, or rather, the lack thereof.  We woke up cold, and I managed to finally trick the system into action at about 2pm, the engineer arrived at about 4.30pm, but because it was working, he was none the wiser; but they will return tomorrow, with their electrical testing gear, and hopefully we will be sorted this side of Christmas.  The lurgy is slowly beating a retreat, so hopefully we can put the Calpol/Night Nurse back in the cupboard soon.

The Snuggly... where I am planning on being as early as possible this evening. I will hopefully get the chance to catch up with a few blogs too, have I missed anything huge in the last couple of days? 

First though, I need to cut the pieces for the last 3 Christmas gifts that I have to make, and who knows, I may even get the chance to move onto the optional extras!

  1. Get that heating fixed before it is quadruple overtime to do it. Good luck with the last gifts too and I am all for early snugging so you get better.

  2. Glad to hear the heating gurus are coming back. You do not want to be freezing your ar**s off next week. And do not contemplate optional extras. I am not. In fact I am going to pack my machine away tomorrow to prevent a relapse. A dining room it will be again - for a little while.

  6. For goodness sake, I hope you get the heating sorted! Most businesses close down for the Christmas/New year period here, so it would be impossible to have it fixed for weeks!!!!!!!!!

  10. I'm very glad you like them :) We have a broken heater upstairs too - despite an electrician and Brand electrician having both taken separate turns at fixing it. Thank goodness for thick blankets!
