A Little February Update

Hello and welcome to another post! We are now over half way through February so I thought I would share a little update on what's been happening with me since my last post.

To be honest nothing that exciting has been going on, the cold and wet weather has been keeping me firmly inside and behind closed doors. Is it just me or does this Winter feel like it has been going on forever?? Anyway its not really been that much of a problem as I am continuing on with my mission to declutter and re-vamp the flat. I currently have a pile/box/bag of stuff that needs to be taken to the charity shop and I have been quite ruthless and binned a load of stuff too. The overhaul is not something that is going to be complete anytime soon but slowly I am getting there.

I did venture out the weekend before last to meet up with one of my lovely Twitter friends. We went to Kingston to do some shopping and to have a spot of lunch. It was Nat's birthday so we also had coffee and cake to get us started off. We had a lovely few hours mooching around the shops, and oohing and ahhing over all the pretty things in John Lewis. I was very restrained and only bought a new address book and a couple of beauty bits from the L'Oréal counter.

I finally finished the C2C crochet blanket that I have been working on and I am really pleased with the way its turned out. This blanket is a gift for the lovely Jen over at Beauty Junkie London who's first baby is due very soon now. The colours are so soft and pretty and although there are some blues in the yarn its neutral enough to work for either a boy or a girl. I have been following Jen for many years now so its my absolute pleasure to be able to gift this to her. I love making these blankets and I tend to have at least one on the go at all times as they are so quick and easy to make. The next one I have as my current WIP is a plain blue one in a very soft chunky baby yarn which is a gift for a friend in Scotland who has recently had a baby.

As Tom was at work last week on Valentines Day we saved our celebrations for the weekend. I took a half days leave on Friday and we went down to Bluewater to do a little shopping. We both had some vouchers for Christmas to use up although in the end we didn't get that much at all. I got a new handbag from Monsoon and Tom got a new backpack from Timberland, we used up our joint John Lewis voucher on a new bin for the kitchen - how very adult of us!! Ha, ha. As we already had a bottle of fizz in the fridge we treated ourselves to a M&S Chinese meal deal rather than go out for dinner which I have to say was really nice indeed. As nice as it is to go out for a meal its also very nice indeed to stay home in the warm and in comfy clothes - I think I am officially getting old!!

The coming weekends are going to be a little busier for us so that's something to look forward to. We have plans to meet up with some friends as well as a family party and the Country music festival at the O2. I also have a Scentsy party this coming Friday which I need to get organized for, the new season scents and catalogues are almost upon us so I need to start sending those out and doing some promotions. If you would like to know a little more about the Scentsy home fragrance system and how it all works please feel free to drop me a line.

As always thanks for stopping by and reading.

Love and hugs, Jane
