Tis the most wonderful time of the year

18th Dec - one week and counting

Ahhhhh there is only one week left... Less than one week... Six days... Am I ready? Nooo!!!

I hope you all enjoyed homemade week, or at least got something out of it. I really liked it and can't wait til next year to add for recipes and craft ideas.

As for whether I'm ready for christmas, actually, I think I'm almost there.

I have to pick the presents up for my mum and mother-in-law from the pottery place tomorrow, buy some pjs for my mother-in-law for the Christmas eve box, find some slippers or socks for Guy, and buy another stocking for Theia as I haven't actually got round to making one for her, but that's about it.

There is still the final decision to make on the vegetables, and which glaze to make on Boxing Day for the ham. I'm still investigating the options... I just need to know by Friday morning. At least I've decided on what we're having for breakfast: English muffins with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce - yummy.

I've wrapped all but two of the presents. I even tried out my ribbon and bow scheme, which actually looked really good - Guy was so impressed he thought I got a professional to do it. I still have some ribbons left so I might try it out on a few other ones.

I'm looking forward to the 17 days off I have over Christmas and new year. Only 5 more working days: two of which I will be working from home. Then I will be free to relax and bake... if Theia will allow me.

I also have two more recipes to hand out over the blogosphere this week; one being the glaze for the ham, and the other being my chorizo and butternut squash soup... a fab starter on Christmas day... mostly cause I make it on Christmas Eve.

Not long now people...

Merry blogmas
