Well my attempt at a lie-in this morning didn't quite go to plan. I woke up just as Tom came in from work at around 6.40am and immediately I was wide awake - typical! Being a good wife I got up and left him to sleep, hopefully I can grab a nap on the sofa a little later today. Luckily we don't need to be at our party tonight until around 8.30pm so there is no rush to be getting ready etc.
I filled the morning hours by quietly pottering about and by doing some more crochet, I also updated my Christmas shopping lists and my planner. The perfect lazy Saturday morning complete with plenty of coffee and the radio playing quietly in the background. The afternoon wasn't much different, a quick visit to the local supermarket for supplies and then that much needed nap before starting to get ready for our night out.
The party we went to was at Toms sisters house and its pretty much an annual event now. Last year it was a sit down meal for 20+ people and although it was very nice it was an extremely hard thing for Linda and Bill to organize and cater for. This year its going to be a lot more relaxed in that they are doing it buffet style so that people can mingle and come and go as they please. Despite the fact that I could have quite happily stayed at home in my pj's it was actually quite nice to get dressed up and have a night out. I wore a dress that I bought last year from Little Mistress, I teamed it with a pair of navy opaque tights and some heeled ankle boots. In the end we didn't get home till 3am - a good night was had by all.
Back later today with Day 10.
Love and festive hugs, Jane xx
