November


Today has been a very grey, dull, wet, windy, dark miserable day.

So we have been having a big clean up at home as we didn't want to go out really.
(Also my Mother-in-law is coming to stay on Thursday for a few days and it was needed)

The skip has gone and the garden is a lot neater.
There has been few photos taken except the odd sunset and sunrise as I drive to and from work. We are so busy at school with Christmas and the threat of a visit from OFSTED!
My Christmas List isn't getting ticked off either!

I didn't manage a fabric collage but made a paper collage for the invites to a little party we are having for some close friends.

I need to get my act together...it's December next week!

I have not looked at the list for the November Scavenger Hunt but I am just about keeping up with my 385 project (I plan to do a post or two to show you over the next week)
I am sorry my blog is a bit boring at the moment but I am trying to get around to visit all yours.
I have been over to Pinterest and found some lovely things to pin up on my boards.

Thank you for all your comments and to all my followers, I will try harder to be a bit more exciting in the next few weeks!!!!

  1. I'm obsessed with cleaning rather than going out at the moment. I am in full spring clean mode. I just wish I could clean quicker or hadn't let it get quite so bad in the first place!

  2. Lovely new Lucy header! The paper collage invites are really good - I wish I could come!!! Try not to get too stressed with doing it all for everybody! x

  3. Me too! Nothing much happening here to write about, what with the Christmas stuff going on in work, and me being a bit 'sick' .... well a lot 'sick' really. My scavenger hunt isn't happening either .... and we've both done so well through the year! And I gave up my 365 back in September.
    We need more hours in the day, or less hours in the job! There's a plan for the new year!!!!
    Love Kathy xxx

  6. I think this time of the year bogs everyone down a bit, but its always lovely to hear from you. I LOVE your hedge ... that must take quite a bit of work to keep so trimmed and beautiful. Enjoy your mince pies and mulled wine ... sounds like it'll be a lovely party.

  7. Your blog does not have to be exciting. I appreciate that you share your day. I don't have much of a list this year. The children being gone puts a bit of a damper on things.

  8. That's okay. We all have a bit of a time keeping up. It is challenging to keep the blog in tip top shape all of the time. We run out of ideas and sometimes time too.

  12. Your garden looks so neat. I wish my lawn was so weed free, mine's more moss and clover than grass!

    I haven't started my scavenger hunt yet either, but I think a lot of them can be done without leaving the house. In fact it's lovely and sunny here today (but very windy) so whilst the light's good I'm starting mine today.

  16. Love the sunset pics. Your garden is looking a lot neater than ours, may I say! We've just had the dreaded visit and, as always, it was nowhere near as bad as I always imagine it will be. It doesn't make any difference to our stress levels though, does it? Ros

  18. I have not written any list now, but I've already bought a couple of pressies and considering that we're still in November, I'm so proud of myself :)
    Have a very good week!

  21. Thanks for your message, it's been such a long time since I've been able to catch up with anyone. Your garden is looking SO neat, I must go back over previous posts to see if you've got any photos of it being messy before the transformation.
    I'm sorry about OFSTED, it's so grim isn't it - my OH had them come about three weeks ago and all the staff were just exhausted with the stress. Hope it goes well for the whole school and for you. Love to you and a stroke for Lucy xx

  24. You don't have to try harder to be more exciting, believe me your blog is so nice to read and such a lovely place in the wide Blogland where I like to stop sometimes to have a look at its beautiful pictures! I'm so busy with winter-Christmas cleaning of the house and it seems never ending! I can't wait to put all the decorations up!
    Thanks for sharing,
    Love
