Well have just spent the last hour or so getting the gorgeous real tree up ready to decorate...

Bought a stunning set of LED flower lights in Wilkinson that are for indoor and outdoor use, they change colour but there is no switch to set them to static that is a bit annoying so although there is a slow change they then go slightly demented for a few seconds which ruins the peace and tranquillity look I was going for but otherwise they are Gor-GEOUS!

Also bought a set of super bright static white LED teeny tiny lights, but half the circuit is faulty so only 40 light up... grrr I will have to take them back tomorrow but I think they were the last set :o( I don't want to go back to bulbs, I have had very bad results with previous bulb sets made by Premium and you can't seem to get anything else anywhere... at a decent price... the LED lights are just lush!

Anyway, also huge surprises in the mail today, a card and gift from Tree - must be good and follow the instruction not to open until Christmas hehehe! And a lovely card off my friend Barbara from uni, with an SW8 postmark, so she is still in London but I only have a very old London address for her - we share a birthday and a uni course and I would dearly love her actual address, but I shall send a card to the London address I have for her, just in case she gets it some how.

Other postal surprise... Seabrook crisps have sent me a complementary gift box of their new crisps... wowsers... so unexpected as there are about 10 packs most of them new flavours and in their posh foil wrap, I love the usual packaging, but am intrigued by how some of these flavours will go down. Especially fish n chips... now in our household I must confess that there has always been a certain taste for scampi niknaks so I dare say the fish n chips flavour will be fine! hehe

They included a card "Merry Crispmas" celebrating their 60th birthday edition flavour which is the fish & chips. And now they are doing mail order by e-mail. I cannot fault their service, they are just fantastic crisps and also fantastic as they send prepaid envelopes for your order and cheque... nothing like Seabrook crisps, and they are finally launching an online order and pay service in the new year... excellent... as there are only some of the favourite flavours you can get in the shops round here... Am off to send them an e-mail to thank them for the gesture as it was so out of the blue and just really nice that a company would reward its past customers like this.

Also, omg, I started Rosie Dunne by Cecilia Ahern this morning on the bus, got it as a bookcrossing trade this week, my god it's really, really good!!! A real page turner, I was so happy the bus was late, but I have a million things to do tonight not least make a card to wish the girl at reception good luck as she is off on maternity leave next week and there is a little baby/Christmas party downstairs tomorrow. Hopefully won't be as squiffy as I was last year after 2 glasses of mulled wine as I still need to decorate that tree tomorrow night once I've had an argey bargey about my lights in wilko! hehe Always has to happen to me doesn't it...
