Hello Everyone,
It`s not really snowing, in fact it`s unseasonally mild out, but as I`m feeling a bit chilly myself I thought why not brighten up my journal with a bit of snow? I`ve finished with work for this year as I booked tomorrow and New Years Day as a holiday and I go back on the 2nd January...2 working days in a week, now THAT`S not bad...lol! It was a bit busier at work today than yesterday as I think people are getting back to normal and are having a look around now. We have a sale on all Christmas items and there are some excellent bargains to be had. I bought a couple of tree ornaments and a gold tree top star but in all honesty there`s nothing else I really need so I`m saving my money for the sales tomorrow. I wasn`t going to bother but as I have to go to the bank tomorrow and also to change some Christmas gifts it won`t hurt to see what`s on offer....a new jacket would be nice at a good price, or a jumper, or should that be two...hmm! You know me, I just love a bargain...lol!
I suppose I`ll have to spend some time this weekend sorting out the kitchen and living room and clearing away the Christmas bits and pieces that are lying around. What looked pretty and festive last week now looks jaded and untidy, and anyway, one of my sets of lights blew this morning so they`re going in the bin, they are very old and I have another set that is unused and still in the box. As I was saying I have to take three items back to the shops to be changed. A jacket that Danny and Salina bought me has something wrong with the collar,it makes me look as though I`m about to take off...lol! It`s from Marks and Spencer so there won`t be a problem there. Some jeans that Dan bought for Jim are too big so I`ll get a smaller size and some trousers we bought Dan are too short so a longer pair are needed. I just hope the sizes we need are available or it`ll be refunds or credit notes all round.
Brrr....these snowy scenes are making me feel even colder even though it`s been mild all day. I`m sure I`d feel warmer too if our shop had any heating, I`m usually a very warm soul who doesn`t feel the cold too much. By all accounts we`re in for a very mild New Year, though I`ve heard we`ll be getting some very cold weather before too long.... NOTE: must buy some extra warm socks for work, and perhaps a hot water bottle or two...lol! Anyway my friends, I must away. I have dinner to prepare and journals to read. I hope you`re all having a lovely day. Take care and Cheerio for now.

Yes IT has turned mild hasnt it ,with a spot or two of rain ,for good measure ,I hope they have the sizes you need in M&S ,still you'll find something if you hav to have a refund lol ,still looking forward to spending my vouchers ...love Jan xx
Your work week sounds like mine, 2 days this week and 2 days next... but then starting Jan 8th..it's back to normal. I didn't turn my tree lights on last evening when I came in from work, I guess that's the sign it's time for it to be wrapped in it's plastic and put back in the shed. I have no gifts to exchange but I do have a faulty cell phone that I got a couple weeks ago that has to go back. And I know I will be in line with all the people exchanging gifts just to get a new one. Linda in Washington
Love those snowy scenes Sandra, very effective :o)
I know what you mean about all that festive stuff starting to look untidy now. We love it when it's first up, but once Christmas is over we can't wait to get back to normal can we! Wishing you luck with your exchanges tomorrow :o)

Another Holiday has come & gone and nearly another year!! Are you doing anyting speccial to bring in the NEW YEAR? Sounds like you had a pleasant Chrisitmas. Our was so special!! I'm glad it's over thoughl I realliy have so much to do. But the computer was calling my name today. Roman is just adorable and I love all the photos you've posted. Hope your Jake is feeling better. I think our Jake may have arthritis too and he is only 3 1/2. He whines or whimpers almost every time we touch him & if we try to pick him up-forget it. He yips outloud. If this keeps up, he'll be getting a trip to the vet.
Well, I hope you and yours have a joyful & prosperous New Year.
Hugs, Barb http://journals.aol.com/queenb8261/DiaryofaMadwoman/
Oh Sandra, thank you so much for these beautiful scenes. I just love snow as long as I don't have to drive in it. All of our Christmas stuff is put away for another year. So I know just how you feel getting ready to start packing everything away again. I'm proud of you though, you made it through the Christmas rush! Well done, you!
Love,
Susie
