A Little Update


I can't believe it's been almost two months since my last post already! I know I say this basically every time I blog, but this year really is whizzing by!


I've seemingly not had much time to do anything lately.  Work has been extremely busy and I can't really remember the last time I wasn't up by half past six on a Saturday for overtime.  In a way I'm grateful for it as it means more money at the end of the month, but lately it's been bringing me down.  I'm thinking a change may be in order.  I need more time for 'me'.


On a more positive note, we've been in our house for three whole months now, and everything's going smoothly so far.  There have been very few arguments and we've had our first lot of bills, which happily were a little less than I had anticipated!  I'll admit, it was difficult for me at first as I've never lived away from my parents, but it really is starting to feel like home. (Although I still won't stay here alone if Ian goes back to his parents for the night!)

Also, it's Christmas in what? 74 days!!  I absolutely LOVE Christmas, all the fairy lights and shopping and toasty evenings in in front of the TV.  Plus, I have my own house to decorate this year!  Safe to say I'm quite excited about the impending festive season.
I started the shopping about a month ago now with the intention of being well prepared.  I'll let you know how that goes!  What's on your Christmas list? 

These are a few things on mine:
