To do...

 The countdown to Christmas is on in our house. The Advent calendar went up on Wednesday. I've realised my two year old knows more about chocolate treats than I'd like him to. I'm also having a hard time leaving the chocolate where it is. Last night I ate today's advent treats... sorry boys.

As I tick off the days in December I'm also feeling a little smug, unusual for me in the lead up to Christmas. I usually first hit the shops on the 23rd and wrap at midnight on the 24th. But look at this....
All the Australian gifts bought, wrapped and in my husband's suitcase. I just hope he doesn't bring any of them back.

Of course there's still a bit on the to-do list and I'm making a new one every day.
A trip to the hairdresser is definitely overdue but I'm most excited about finally getting around to having my knives professionally sharpened. What is it about this time of year that makes us all try to finish everything we didn't quite get to all year?

Top of the list on Monday is to let you know who's won my little giveaway - there's still time to enter... Good luck.

  1. Knife sharpening - something I've always thought is a good idea. I might add that to my list (as if it needs anything else!)

    Your advent calendar looks gorgeous.

  5. Now, Ann. What is going on?! I mean, seriously. You are way too organised. I saw the top photo and thought "Oh, that can't be Ann's". And it was. Hmm, you're spurring me on to get organised. This weekend. Watch out, Mr PB. Oh, and is Mr VL posting or hand-delivering the presents? If the latter, we'd love to see him ☺. J x

  8. How often do you sharpen your knives? I sharpened my knife for the first time ever. That was about 6 months ago now and I'm itching to do it again. How often is too often?
