Getting Ahead for Christmas?

 

Quite a few of our blogging circle are mentioning some of their preparations for Christmas, so I thought I would show you mine.

Sadly it's not me that is prepared really, but I have taken the pressure off Alan.  As soon as I saw the Lucy Almey Bird calendar I knew that was the calendar for me for 2025.  I ordered it and told Alan what 'he' had bought me, and he gave me the money.

It's got some lovely images, and of course I could frame a few of them and add them to my collection of her artwork as they are exactly the same size as my smaller pictures.  The only thing is, I have very little wall space left ... we'll have to move house.  😄

My birthday present framed prints are HERE.  

Alan also saw me looking at the Deliciously Ella website one day when there was an extra 10% off on top of my usual members 15% discount, and said that if I wanted to put an order in he would class that as the rest of my Christmas present.  Who was I to say no, and a 25% discount is not to be sneezed at for such healthy foods!!

Only the biscuits need to be eaten before Christmas everything else has beautifully long Best Before dates.

I packed them away in this drawer.

As you can see my eating my way through the contents of my store cupboard while I try and live on just £100 a month for food has gone very well, all the other drawers are now empty.  In fact I could most likely very easily fit my new gifts into the main food cupboard.

Now I have to listen out for what Alan would like for Christmas, he always says 'nothing, I don't need anything', so I have to listen and take note when he mentions things.
