I MOVED IT... MOVED IT

 

ABOVE:  I sat looking at the table of gifts for a while, then said to myself "It needs to have a tree there".... so I moved it, moved it.

NOT the main tree, it's still in the sunroom.

The pre-lit one was a perfect fit for there.

Gosh I love it... I'm really feeling the Christmas spirit now.  

Today's plans?  I don't have any!

Maybe I will have to do some sewing... cos I can't just sit and do nothing can I?

And clearly I need to make more Braid Runners.

So, let's just wait and see what I get up to eh?

 Last night I was contacted by a lady who saw us at the last market in Tamahere.

She just loves the Black 'n' White runners, and has placed an order for two, in specific sizes for her tables.

And she wants bowl cosy's too... so that's a nice little bonus for me savings.

AND it means I definitely have to get back into the sewing room and do some runners.

NOT that I mind.... I love being busy in my happy place.

I seem to live in supermarkets at the moment.

I've just been for the 3rd time in a week. Still stocking up on Christmas foods, so I don't find the shelves bare on the weekend.

Now all I have to get is the fresh meats, salad makings and bread.  I HOPE.

It was, as I thought it would be, absolutely mental in the supermarket.  What with customers, and staff madly re-stocking shelves... it was a mission to get in and out in a decent time frame.

One more time... till Christmas.

And as Stew said, we will end up with far too much food, as per usual.  Oh well... that just means the kids go home with lots to eat afterwards.

It is nearly midday, so time to stop all the jobs and take a lunch time break.

ABOVE:  I've been forgetting to put this up! 

Don't' worry, I've NOT fallen off the wagon at all.

I'm sticking to my new challenge, even though I am still finding it difficult.  My energy levels are still incredibly low.

But... I hope that things settle down soon.

Bearing in mind, next MONDAY, (Christmas Day), I am allowing myself to indulge in EVERYTHING.

So, today is DAY 9 OF 15.

Tonight is my last official weigh in at Weight Watchers for the year.

I am pretty sure I will have a loss.  This no carb/no sugar thing is working.  I can feel it/see it.

Even though the lack of energy is a right pain in the arse.

I think what I'm missing the most is sugar!  I didn't think I was having too much sugar, but yeah.  Maybe I was.   Think Caramel Cornflake Slice.... OMG.

Christmas Day is going to be super indulgent. I am going to have a little of EVERYTHING on the table!  

Drooling just thinking about it.

I've just had a late shower, washed me hair etc.  Now I need to dry said hair, and put some face on. Then I'll be ready to head off to WW a bit later.

WEIGH IN:  I LOST 1.8 KGS this week.  Another 'Lowest this Year' result.  I'm very happy.

And that's a wrap on my day.  Winding down now.  Catch ya tomorrow.
