It's Advent Time!
Our Calendar Count is at 15 this year — Six chocolate ones (A Dairy Milk each, Dairy Milk Biscoff and Maltesers for Mum, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Galaxy for me) as well as two jigsaw ones (Gibsons and Professor Puzzle), Laithwaites Red Wine, a Riddle Calendar, Taskmaster, Pukka Teas, M&S Beauty, the refillable one I made up for Mum, and Scrumbles for Tormund.
This year Mum's refillable calendar contains clues to a crossword and little Christmas charms for her to put on a small tree of her own!
The crossword clues all have a theme, which will give her the code she'll need to unlock her present. (Assuming I've found the combination lock by then... I'm not sure which box it's in!)
Also, because it's Christmas, it's Festive Bedding Time!
It's very cosy.
Speaking of cosy, the men came round to replace the boiler last week. It was so nice to have heating and hot water again! I finally got to take a shower!
I also have a selection of Christmas/Winter themed jigsaw puzzles:
I'd like to get all the Christmas ones done this month. The winter ones can wait until January since it'll still be winter then, but who knows which ones will take my fancy!
Speaking of jigsaws, I went to Lytham at the weekend for a Jigsaw Puzzle Marathon. It was fun and I'll hopefully make a proper post about it soon. Although with the way I update, you can probably expect to read about it in February!
