It's been a bit of an odd Friday and weekend. One of those weekends where you run around like a headless chicken and then end up wondering what you actually did - you know the ones I mean? So I've decided to round it all up into one Blogmas post.
Friday 18th was apparently Christmas Jumper Day. As I've been wearing them since the beginning of the month (maybe November too - shush!) it wasn't a hard task.
I bought this top from Next (size 22). Foxes seem to be everywhere at the moment and with the red sequin bow and beautiful bottle green colour, I was sold. It's still available on the Next website for £16 but I reckon it will be in the sale soon if any are left.
With so many stores starting their sales early, I found a few more tree decorations to go on the (already overloaded) tree.
Cute Santa's key from Asda
Garden gnomes from Sainsburys (yes - I also have a frog ornament too)
These were all half price and less. It really does pay to hang on until the last possible moment if you need any new decorations.
Saturday - the plan to was go to the local Christmas Fair near to where I live. It's an intersection of three roads and is known locally as the Triangle. I say plan, I did go, but failed spectacularly in taking any photos. There were carol singers, farm animals, snow machines and even Father Christmas himself made an appearance in the grotto. So as I didn't take any pictures, here's a great link to a short video of the day from the local community news site for Bitterne Park
The rest of the weekend was pretty chilled - the first mice pies of the season were made,
Bit wobbly, but very yummy.
The Sephora Advent calendar kept up its tradition of good surprises and a few oddities. The treats this weekend were an eyeliner (yay), travel eye makeup remover wipes (yay) and another patterned tape.
And to round off the weekend - this happened!
Photos will follow in the next day or so once I find some good light - but verdict so far? Very pleased.
Thanks for reading my Blogmas posts. I can't believe we're now coming into Christmas week itself. This month has just flown by!
