Wow, what a busy couple of days

I have had such a busy couple of days, that it is only today, that I have finally been able to breathe and take a break.What a flat out December it has been!!!!!
Today I started cleaning up.What is it about after Christmas that brings out the cleaning in you.Must be the " HOUSE LOOKS LIKE A BOMB HAS HIT IT" look on Chrissy day that does it, and I can only tolerate it for so long.
I began in Stevens room and sorted through all his toys,and will keep the special things , to put away for his own children one day, and send on the others to the local Blue Nurses thrift store.Really need to do my room, as there is mould and cobwebs, that need getting rid of.Hope to tackle it over the next couple of days.
I got thoroughly spoilt on Christmas Day -

From the boys: Dark Knight and Hitch DVDs as well as candles and new drinking glasses.
From Alan: The Grease 30 year edition DVD as well as a fantastic new chair for my scrap room.Much more comfy now.
From Mum: A beautiful scrapped RECIPE album, full of all her very special recipes of meals and desserts that she has been making over the years.A new set of sheets to go with my new quilt that She and Justine gave me together.And some yummy choccies.
From Justine and Josh: A new Quilt, a jigsaw puzzle, a new shirt,soaps incense burner and candles, as well as a bucket full of my favourite goodies.
From Ed: A bottle of Kilkenny Cream..yummo
From Jewls: Mamma Mia DVD, a couple of romance novels and a beautiful angel keyring.
From Kristy: Some creams fro myself and Steven, and some gorgeous scrapping goodies.
From Melanie: a yummy 9 pk of Ferrero Rocher choccies.
From SIL's: Scratchies and tin of biscuits, and box of Daryl Lea choccies
From Jaki: a lovely CD tin with a scrapped 12 months calender for 2009.It is lovely Jaki, thanks mate.
From Jacki: A nice smelly thing you put in with your clothes, a tea towel and some beautiful smelling taper candles.

Thanks everyone for all your gifts, cards and love and friendship over the past year.Sending my love back to all of you.
Hoping you all had a terrific day also
