Happy New Year

I am really excited for 2010. I'm not one for making resolutions (I never manage to keep them)but a new year does always feel like a new chapter.

At new year, my thoughts always turn to what new toys I can find to sell on the website. I love looking at new toys probably more so than the girls and I don't think this year I will be disappointed!

So I begin my new chapter tomorrow and I hope I can blog an interesting year.

Happy New Year

The Gruffalo

3 times now!

We all sat down as a family this morning to watch this brilliant animated story. Hubby managed to escape after the first showing but I am still sat here holding the hand of my eldest at the scary bits. I can smell lunch being made so hopefully I can escape a fourth time........until tomorrow.

Will it snow on Christmas Day?

Our boiler broke down on one of the coldest days of the year. To add to our misery our gas fire gave up as well. They were both eventually fixed last night by a very kind gas engineer, who, bless him, not only gave us heat but didn't wake up the girls sleeping in the next room in the process.

Now I feel I can enjoy the snow we have had. The girls love playing out in it. As this is a year where I feel the girls will enjoy the spirit of Christmas, I do hope that it will snow on Christmas Day to make it extra special.
