Good morning all, and a special hello to my new follower Karen, hope you are all managing to stay warm. Can't believe we've had some of the white fluffy stuff already, twas only a flutter but' it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas' excuse the pun and I sure am not ready! Why wasn't I born organised? I really tried, even making all the Christmas cards along the way, but forgot about the envelopes, and guess what, none of them fit.........
so off I went in search of some 8 x 8, can I find any, ho ho ho, no no no.
Think I'll just wrap them in nice Christmas paper that way they can thinks it's a pressie too hee hee!
Well my tumble dryer broke this week and I so need one for work so had to buy a new one, great.
Then Tuesday whislt I was out on my mobile run it was raining , so I had waited for it to ease off before making a dash for the car, which I did, only the flaming key wouldn't open the door and then the heavens opened......OMG you could have wrung me out lol.
Wonder what's next?

P.S. It would not be fair for you to be organized when I can't be--due to a genetic fault or some such thing. (That's my story today, and I'm stickin' to it!)
