Long time no post

OMG how long is it since I last posted, I feel so bad, every night I think of it and then I still think oh tomorrow will be ok then tomorrow comes and I still dont do it! Plenty has happened although not mega exciting, had money worries well and stillhave them hehe, felt unwell poor old heart has been having a party all by itself so back on a heart monitor tomorrow for a week. Have been preparing for Christmas, cards and stuff and sending presents abroad and am still sat here looking at the treee I have put up but it looks a bit sorry for itself cos its not got one thing on it as yet. AM trying to type quickly so I can go and do it and at least get some nice sparkly lights on. I cant say Im a particularly Christmassy person but I do like a bit of sparkle, just wish I had a lovely open fire to sit by, dog by side and a nice glass of wine in my hand, watching the tree glitter and glow. I really need to go into town this week and buy the mincemeat for my tarts which hopefully I will get round to making, cant stand bought ones they are just too sweet. I have already got the red tablecloth though and I think Mum got me the red candles so at least I have made a start for making my place look festive. My wonderful freind in the States sent me a lovely birthday plant which looks all festive and this has taken pride of place on my table, so will be adding a few sparkley stars and I will be good to go LOL.
