It has been a good day, despite this niggling cold!I did the housework (cant stand for my house to be a mess, and having 3 pets means it is a never ending job to keep this house tidy), then John and I walked to Johns parent's with Foxy. There is a shopping centre near where John's parents live, so we left Foxy at theirs and went for our groceries. It was absolutely freezing, so pleased I put on my woolly jumper, fleece waistcoat, fleece jacket and woolly hat! We went back to Johns parents and drank a most welcome cup of hot sweet tea. Joyce (John's mam) bought me a most beautiful christmas cactus , it is so pretty, it has loads of buds on it just waiting to burst into flowering joy! (I've got it sitting in a blue and white vintage bowl on the window and it looks lovely).When we came home, we were greeted with waggy tail's galore! John set up the perculator and made me a lovley cup of black coffee while I got the laundry off the line. We turned the central heating on full, and sat together on our computers while our pets slept peacefully, dreaming sweet dreams. I browsed around the net for a while then ran myself a steaming hot bath, I was going to add vicks to the bath, but decided that my already watering eye's just couldnt take anymore stinging (have you noticed how vicks makes your eyes sting?), so I added lavender soap petals insted which desolved in the hot water making a mountain of glorious bubbles. I relaxed for a while then washed my hair, I had the fluffiest towel I could find on the radiator warming, and it was bliss to wrap myself in warm, fluffy heaven. I put on my lavender , pressed pj's and freshly laundered snuggly dressing gown. When I came down stairs, a cup of fresh coffee was waiting on my desk for me (my hubby is so thoughtful) and after I drank that, I got out the fleece blanket and feather pillow, and made myself a little bed on the sofa. I snuggled under the blanket and was just drifting off to sleep, when someone banged really loudly on the door. John was in the study so he didnt hear it, so I had to climb out of my beautifully warm blanket and answer the door feeling a little dazed, it was our neighbour, and in his hands he held a square brown box which the postman left in his care, to give to me. I thanked him, and rushed into the study to open my bundle, it was the fantastic pink whistling kettle I bought off ebay, I love it, it looks great sitting on the hob! I decided there was no point trying to sleep again so I just stayed up and began typing out this, about my day.Im going to eat supper soon, tidy up abit, then John and I will snuggle under the blanket and watch the last two episodes of '24 season 6', fantastic.I cant wait to climb under the duvet and snuggle down in the feather mattress, and drift off into a deep sleep, I am ready to drop.Well, goodnight everyone, Sleep tight and sweet dream's.
Well, it is Monday morning and I am loaded with cold! I just woke up this morning feeling quite ill, Im constantly blowing my nose, my eyes are streaming and I've got no energy, but, must crack on, things to be done, I cant let a runny nose stand in my way!Today, I plan on doing the housework and getting the groceries in, then after that, I will come home, have something warm and comforting for tea, take a long, hot candle lit bath and snuggle under my lovely fleece blanket for the rest of the night.We got woke up this morning with bang, bang, banging, the workmen are in next door doing renovations and it is driving me nuts, no peace at all!The weather is dull today, proper autumn weather. I love autumn, I love it when the temperature drops dramatically and you have to put fifty layers of clothes on before you can brave the outside world. I love having the heating on full, and drawing the curtains at 5.00pm. I love baking at this time of year, the smell of home made cakes and pies wafting through a candle lit house. I love the crunch of autumn leaves under my feet when we are out on a brisk walk, autmn is just so cosy and I love it.I said in my previous entry that I would tell whoever decides to read this, afew of the things I love, so here it goes.I love my husband, he is a wonderful man who will do anything for me, we get on really well, always having a giggle and fun. I love snuggling into him in bed at night, it makes me feel safe, I am blessed to have such a good husband, we adore each other.I love animals and it makes me so angry when I hear of cruelty towards them. Our animals are great, we are a perfect little family.I love having dinner with family, every Wednesday, Johns parents and my dad come to ours for dinner, or we all go to my dads for dinner and it is always lovely, all of us been together, every Thursday my mam comes round to ours for tea and stays until 9.00pm, and every Sunday John and I go to Johns parents for Sunday lunch which is always delicious.I have always loved history, any peroid of history fasinates me, I love learning different things about the people who lived long before I was even thought of. My dream was to be a historian, and in afew years down the line, I may persue my dream.I love furnishing my home with beautiful vintage finds, pretty lace, exquisit china, delicate fabrics, anything which is pretty and vintage, Im not a girl who likes all this new modern furnishings.I love reading, I have over 1000 books, and all of them are so precious to me. I started wriiting my own novel, but have since abandoned it. I did have a poem published, it was a poem I wrote about the love I feel for John, and it was published in a poem book, I am very proud.I love long hot candle lit baths, with sweet scented bubbles spilling over the side.I love crafts and am planning to take up more.I adore flowers and am wanting to have our whole house filled with beautiful, fragrant flowers.I do enjoy doing housework, it makes me feel happy when I look around our home and know that I have made it that tidy and clean, it makes me feel happy that I am providing my husband with a clean home, a haven from the outside world.My favourite colours are pink and powder blue.I love receiving little parcels in the post. I love buying things online and waiting for my goodies to arrive.I adore christmas and cant wait for December 1st to put the tree and decorations up, it is always such a happy day, we have carols playing in the background while we have fun decorating our house, bringing in the festive season.That is all I can think of typing for now, hope what I've typed has helped you all know a little bit more about the girl you are reading about.I still feel as if Im going abit demented, like Im talking to myself.Again, thank you to anyone who has read this.Bye for now.
