This isn't one of those 'woe is me' posts but I want to share my reasons for why this Christmas is more important to me than any Christmas for as long as I can remember. To explain fully, we need to rewind a little bit to Christmas 2016 when I was off work sick following a hemorrhoidectomy operation that I'd had at the end of September. Prior to the operation, I'd been in a lot of pain with a thrombosed haemorrhoid since the end of June time and after the operation, the pain was unbelievable was quite a while so I was on quite strong painkillers for lengthy periods throughout … [Read more...]
Christmas Waffle Recipe….
This amazing Christmas Waffle Recipe genuinely tastes of Christmas and I guarantee you're going to love it if you try it!Life is generally too busy for us to manage to have a sit-down family breakfast but every now and again, we manage a Sunday morning where we're all at home with no friends sleeping over and no work commitments.

Every since the kids were born we've added to our Christmas book collection and every year, we've looked forward to getting the Christmas decorations down from the loft as soon as it gets to December so we could get the Christmas books out.Over the last few years, the excitement over the Christmas books as dwindled somewhat for the kids and for the last two or three years they've only picked them up to read briefly with my gorgeous little godson when he's popped in to see us.
