Wooo hold it!!
Two seconds ago I was looking forward to Xmas coming… the awesome food, the pressies, being with the family…
And now it’s already 2011 and normality has slapped me in the face before I can even see it coming!!
But considering how fast the past couple of weeks have flown, sometimes you don’t have enough time in the world!!
Read on and you’ll discover how quick this particular day hit me!
Well today’s Grin wasn’t so much of a grinning moment when it actually happened..
Here’s how it all panned out…
The moment arises when; armed with your coin, you scratch off the silver foil on this tiny card in anticipation of whether 3 matching values will appear underneath. The 3 numbers that could buy you anything from another £1 card, to a bottle of wine, to a Dine In meal from Markies… or perhaps two!
And that’s exactly what I did yesterday morning as my memory – like myself – woke up to remember I received a scratch card along with a wee box of chocs from one of my lovely colleagues from work for Xmas!
Before heading out to attempt to scrape the frost of the car windscreen, I sat down and rubbed away the foil… row by row.
Only to discover… I did in fact have 3 matching values… 3 matching £20.00 ‘s to be exact.
Get In!!! 
I often find myself with the urge to paint.. and despite my self criticism… I decided the best option for a few gifts this year were a few of my own creations.
The price of an own made painting doesn’t cost too much, but the work put into it is certainly alot more than that of nipping into a shop and buying shower gel gift sets!
…
Yesterday I ventured out on the snowy roads of my village armed with my camera and took some lovely shots of the white stuff. It so beautiful with the clean crisp snow coating the land.
Never get bored of it

Everyone either loves it or hates it. But at the end – we all have to endure it!
Yup… it’s the dreaded Xmas shopping!!
Yes, it’s that time of year again. Some of us love it, some of us hate it, but by the time those doors close on Christmas Eve around tea time… or if your’e lucky – 10pm – we all have to do that inevitable trek to purchase the presents for our loved ones!
Let the stress commence!!
