Linen And Stuff

Still chilly although not as cold as it was.  Monday again, where does the time go.  Thanks for all the lovely comments on little Daniel in his snow suit.

Just been doing one of those jobs that you tend to leave and leave - cleaning out the airing cupboard.  Not sure if our American friends have airing cupboards.  Anyway, it is the place where we keep all our towels, drying up cloths, bedding etc. etc.  It was badly in need of doing to say the least!!!

I have been through everything and thrown away all the things that were worn and tatty.  When we buy new bedding, I always tend to keep the old bedding "just in case" - probably a habit I acquired from my mother.  Anyway, all the old stuff  has all gone now and we have masses of room.  Only trouble is that I shall have to buy loads of new tea towels now and some more hand towels.

Him indoors has just disappeared outside to put up the rest of the Christmas lights accompanied by moans of "it's cold out there."  Hope he has tried them all first to make sure they are in working order.

Tomorrow we have the new piece of furniture coming. So we have made room for that as well.  I thought Spring was the traditional time for cleaning.  Well, not in our home!  Actually it is a present from me to him indoors, a combined wedding anniversary and birthday gift that he wanted a few days in advance.  A computer desk.  He has our old computer for doing all his photographic work and for ages it has been sat on our dining room table so I shall be glad it will have a new home of its own.  It is coming tomorrow anytime between 7.30 a.m. and 1 a.m. so we are going to be busy again and then I hope to start putting up the inside decorations.  That is something I dread, getting all those boxes down from the loft and going through it all.  You end up with glitter and tinsel bits all over the carpet.  However, it is worth it in the end.

So, I had better get off here and get stuck into the rest of the housework.  I would prefer to curl up with a book but there you go, it will not do itself.

Thanks to all of you who have sent your addresses for my Christmas card list.  It is not too late for those of you that have not, I shall be writing the cards towards the end of the week.  After all, we talk to each other all year through our journals and we have all become friends.  Nice to be able to send a personal greeting. Internet cards can be nice but they are not quite the same as something popping through your letterbox.

As we all seem to be getting in the Christmas mood, I shall sign off with a Christmas siggie today.
