My Christmas tree 2018
Tuesday, December 25, 2018I have been a very busy bee over the last couple of months. So busy that once again, I've completely worn myself out despite resting lots between each 'thing'.
Anyway, I'm hoping to write a few Christmassy posts over the next couple of days so please keep checking back!
As it's Christmas Eve, literally 18 minutes till Christmas Day I thought I would quickly write a post about my Christmas tree. Anyone who's read the blog for any length of time knows that I love Christmas. I have a tiny bedroom yet I will still move furniture to squeeze a 5ft slim tree in the corner every year. I bloody love my tree. It has no theme but I can pretty much tell you where every ornament is from and why it's special.
So here are some new decorations for this year and a couple of older ones too.
So firstly this lovely cocktail glass from Harrods. This is a good story. We were at the Royal Marsden for my weekly chemotherapy. I'd had a scan, my first since surgery and further chemo. I'd been so nervous waiting for the result, which was 'no evidence of active disease'. We were elated! I love Harrods Christmas department to see all the beautiful decorations. We used to go every year. Well, after that result, mum and I jumped on the bus and off we went. The department had only been open a few days but we saw this and thought it screamed celebration.
I also bought this little stocking. Firstly, I adore London. Secondly, if I travel somewhere I get a decoration for my tree as a souvenir. I have a New York stocking and it matched so well I couldn't resist a London one too!
This next one is also from Harrods but I didn't buy it. My lovely friends Stacie and Mark, actually emailed Harrods with my story and they sent me this beauty! A complete surprise when a Harrods box arrived but so incredibly kind of everyone involved. It also really reminds me of Christine's masquerade dress from Phantom so it has a double meaning for me.
This one is another example of my travel collection. I finally made it to Copenhagen this year after cancelling last minute last year when I received my cancer diagnosis. The trip therefore had huge meaning for me (separate blog coming). If you want to see all my travel related decs let me know in the comments.
The next was too cute to resist. It sums up my love of Christmas, cakes and afternoon tea! A TKMaxx (my most favourite shop!) find.
The last couple of decorations are handmade by me of which there are a fair few on my tree. I love to make something myself! Anyway I realised that for a very big Harry Potter fan I had nothing HP on my tree. So I decided to rectify that.... fairly easy DIY's once I got the hang of them!
Finally, I became a godmother this year to beautiful baby Lilly. I was delighted to get this beautiful decoration from her for my tree.
I hope you enjoyed hearing some of my stories, or at least weren't too bored!
It's officially Christmas Day now so a very happy Christmas to you all, may you have the best day possible whatever that means to you. Let me know what your favourite decoration is either from my selection or your own tree! I'd love to hear your stories. Don't forget to check back for new posts soon. Xxxx

Hey everyone!
ReplyDeleteToday I come to you with so much excitement!
My Ex and I broke up 1 year and 2 months ago and i was six months pregnant. We both love each other and it was a shock to me and it really broke my heart. I tried to call him and both of his lines were disconnected. I tried to reach him on social networks but he deleted me off of them. I tried to reach his parents and they told me that their son said that he does not love me and does not want to see me and they do not know what is wrong. I cried and cried everyday because I loved him very much. Until I gave birth and the baby was one year old, I could not get my love back. Again, I was confused. I do not know what to do and I also lost my job and I have no money to take care of the baby. I was miserable in life so I cried to my sister and told her my problem and said that she knew of one powerful spell caster that helped her when she could not get pregnant. I contacted him by email and he said he will help me and told me that a woman cast a spell upon my man and said he will help me break the spell so my man will come back to me and be mine forever. It was a great surprise to me that everything that he said came to pass. My man came back to me immediately, saying that I should forgive him. I am sending a very big thank you to this powerful and real spell caster. I pray for him to live long and do more of his wonderful work. If you have any kind of problem disturbing you in life, you have to contact this powerful spell caster! He can help you. He will not disappoint you, I give you 100% guarantee that he will help you, Here’s his contact:

Hi everybody. I recently saw a testimony about chief dr lucky in a blog I visit for relationship and dating counseling problems because i had been having serious issues with my boyfriend and we had been dating for six months, he just suddenly changed, he wasn't returning my calls,he started cheating,he was hurting me in many ways i never thought possible and I just thought I should try it*maybe out of desperation of some sort*..and I contacted chief dr lucky ..At first everything felt dreamy and unbelievable, his consultations and solution was a little bit easy and strange and I was scared a little cause I heard read and heard lots of stories to of fake spell casters,scams and i never really believed in magic..I played along with a little hope and and faith and I sent some few stuffs after everything and it worked like a miracle,everything went to a while new direction,it was and is amazing...I guess it was all good faith that made me read That particular post that faithful day..I hope he could help other people too like he did me...I did a little and I got everything I wanted and wished for*my husband,my family and my life back.

ReplyDeleteThis is my testimony of life that I will tell everyone. I have been married for 25 years Another woman had a spell to get away my lover from me, My husband left me and the children and we suffered for 2 years until I saw post about where this man Dr Omokpo has helped so many people recover their broken marriages and relationships to get their ex lovers back.
I decided to send him a message about my broken marriage and family, about how my husband left me and for him to help me bring back my loving husband home. This great man told me what to do and I followed him as he instructed. After 48 hours, as he told me, I saw a car enter the compound. I was shocked when I saw my husband. As I share my testimony with you my husband came back to me and the kids and that's why I'm so happy to introduce you all to meet this great man for solutions to your problems and bring your lover back to you and mend your broken marriage and relationship restored back to happiness as you wished. Contact this great man via: dromokpo@gmail.com
Great read thankss
