December Daily Day 7

I know my December Daily isn't terribly Christmas-y at t he moment - we don't normally put the tree up or decorate until 12 days before Christmas. So, in the meantime, I'm using it as a means of just recording our every day life.
Journalling is clear enough for you to read this time so I won't type it out again ;-)

December Daily Day 6

I'd like to start by saying welcome to the ladies coming to my blog from Ali's December Daily. For those of you new to my blog I feel I need to clear one thing up ;-), Alice Rose is my beautiful granddaughter (not my daughter) but my daughter and her partner are living with us so I have lots of opportunity to take photos :-).  I wish I could accept the "supermum" title as Robyn called me, in one of the comments, but I don't think that would be fair ;-).  We are so enjoying having Claire, Craig and Alice staying with us and I'm sure this Christmas is going to be very special.
 Journalling reads:  Jon had to take my car in to work so we didn't go shopping. In the morning the health visitor came to do Alice's hearing check and in the afternoon the British Gas man managed to get here to fix the thermostat. I managed to catch up on some Holiday Joy video tutorials too.
Clockwise from top left: Alice asleep in her crib; Claire catching up on some blog reading/tv; my computer with the Holiday Joy tutorial on the screen; snow starting to disappear; left over goulash from Sunday which I had for dinner (thanks Mel, it was delicious and definitely one I'm adding to my recipe collection!)

Thank you also to Ruth for letting me know that one of my layouts was used in Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas prompt for today. So exciting!! I've never had one of my layouts used before - thanks for giving me the heads up, Ruth! 

Now to go and finish making the lasagne for dinner tonight

December Daily Day 3

Journalling reads:  Although the snow had stopped last night, it was still a winter wonderland outside. We got a glimpse of blue sky but were happy to view it from inside in the warmth. Craig managed to drive to work and, after the men cleared the road some more, Jon also got out in his car.
While it's so cold outside and my car is snowed in, we have been having quiet lazy days at home. I'm afraid the girls take after me in that they don't like going out in snow - I put it down to growing up in a hot country ;-)
