And so the excitement builds

My Christmas decorations go up on sunday, the girls and I are getting soooo excited lol. Of course, mr humbug, Robert, would prefer they didn't go up to Christmas eve, but that is so not going to happen. Anyway, he gets to help put them up on sunday and then he's off to his mums on the monday, in Scotland. His dad is going into hospital for an operation, so he's going to do some decorating for his mum while his dad isn't there, makes life easier that way lol. Haven't done much in the way of Christmas shopping at all though, somehow when you have to watch every penny and cut back on your spending it isn't as much fun, but never mind, it isn't all about the presents now is it!!
Raechel is working very hard at her rehearsals for her school play, and we are looking forward to seeing her perform in january. And both girls will be singing with their choirs at the local Christmas lights switch on this friday. My little stars :D
I think I may be losing one of my chickens. My old girl, Hillary. She has been moulting and I think with her age and the cold weather she just isn't going to make it. She went off the lay a few months ago, and I've been told that hybrids don't usually live long once this happens, but she has been a lovely chicken to introduce me to this wonderful pastime.
We've also been laying new carpets and laminate throughout the house. It has caused some amount of havoc lol, but it is looking lovely!! So much warmer than what we had down.
Will be back next week to post a pic of my decorated living room, so see you then x
