Instagram post 2192719693853050478_6413025398 I still have a Rightmove alert set up on my phone for our village, so I can see what houses are coming up for sale - even though I'm never ever moving again. Moving into this house was stressful! One of the houses that has come on the market is one that we viewed when we bought this place, and is what Mr R and I called "The Sex House" due to an unfortunate amount of "erotic" statues all over the house and a dart board on the back of one of the doors featuring a lady with a rather ample bosom who had forgotten to put a jumper on. It was certainly eye opening, viewing the house with a small child 😳😳 Luckily whoever bought it then has de-sexed the house and it's now a lovely little cottage for someone!! Worst house you ever viewed? Can you beat the Sex House?

Unrelated picture, obvs! Happy Friday! X
Instagram post 2192006349076768595_6413025398 I had a proper mum guilt moment yesterday. Hols went to the dentist and needed a tiny filling to one of her back teeth. She doesn't eat a lot of sweets and brushes her teeth well but still needed a filling. I'm mortified! Clearly watering down her fruit juice until it is only colouring the water isn't enough 😕 Bloody sugar is everywhere! She saw the good dentist too, not the one who swans in late carrying a kebab and after the appointment gives you a random load of mini toothpastes. 
Totally unrelated pic of my bedroom for #storyofmyhome and Through the Looking Glass - it's not very festive in here but maybe this weekend I'll put some decorations up. Maybe. If I can be bothered.

Have a happy Thursday!

Instagram post 2191277852796513712_6413025398 So yesterday's shopping trip with my gran wasn't too bad - we went to the one shop she wanted to go to to find it was closed for a refurb, got a bit lost trying to drive to another one, she accused the poor shop assistant of flirting with her (poor guy!) and managed to get a tenner off, but she bought a freezer!! 🎉🎉 Happy days. 
In other news, here's my Christmas wreath that I made for free! I've scavenged bits from the village Christmas tree (with permission, obvs), some old wreaths I made from birch twigs mad have had in the shed for about 3 years and some foliage from the garden. I obvs did a blog about how I did it - link in my profile if you fancy a read (or a comment, or pinning it to Pinterest - any of that would be great thank you kindly x) It's all plastic free too - no oasis here.

Also check out my photo shop skills - you'd never know there was a house number and some ribbon there, would you? 😂

Instagram post 2190550067199126560_6413025398 Up bright and early for the Advent calender. Woo. Also today I've got to take my grandma shopping for a freezer. I can think of eleven billion things I would rather do than take her shopping - it'll involve all afternoon even though she wants to go to one shop, and she probably won't even buy anything. She'll exasperate the shop assistants and we'll all be fed up by the end of it. Great!

Hope your day is better than mine 😂

I wrote a quick blog post on how to make the mantlepiece garland and door wreaths - link in my bio x

#storyofmyhome - Magic and Sparkle - one of the most magical things is watching Hols decorate the tree (swipe to see). I haven't even had to rearrange the baubles this year (much)
#myhousethismonth - Let there be light - swipe to see the tree lit up 😍

Instagram post 2189827441342446854_6413025398 Deck the halls you say? I've made a start, but these early mornings are leaving me with not a lot of energy! Also there is a window of approx 32 seconds of daylight to take photos at the moment, so I'm kind of limited. We put the tree up yesterday, which meant we had to move the rickety old bookcase (see Stories - it's leg fell off 🤦‍♀️) and I went on a forage yesterday in the garden and on the lane and whipped up a couple of wreaths too. All in all a rather festive day!

Have a happy Monday!

Instagram post 2189109890559849378_6413025398 Pinch, punch, start of the month! It's the start of Advent! It's the end of any possible hope I had for a lie in - we've been awake since 5.45am as Hols is too excited for her Advent calendar. A friend kindly gave her a Harry Potter lego one and she has an Advent village I reuse every year filled with chocolate coins. This year she helped me fill the village, so she knows what's in it, but she's still beyond excited. Mr R and I are not excited. We are hungover.

Happy Sunday! It's a day of tree trimming for us today. Hope you've got some good plans?

Instagram post 2188378636105371112_6413025398 I don't know about you but I'm kind of glad Black Friday is over. I'm sick of emails telling me it's Black Friday - I know peeps, I'm not stupid! I didn't buy anything, because I don't need anything, so saved 100%. Well, I did buy this eucalyptus but that was from a local florist and was nothing to do with BF so doesn't count in my not buying anything. 
I've got a morning of delivering cakes today - lucky it's not icy or anything! Oh, wait, it is super icy! Hooray 🙄

Have a happy Saturday! X

Instagram post 2187647736354788780_6413025398 Anyone else's Instagram playing up? I can't add a link to my Stories and if someone comments or likes something while I'm trying to type a comment, it kicks me off whatever pic I'm on and sends me back to my grid! It means whenever I'm commenting it's a race against time, so sorry if my comments are short!

It's Friday, anyways. Have a good day!

Instagram post 2186924421650687946_6413025398 I'd hate to be a delivery driver at this time of year, especially one delivering to me. Usually it's 20kg boxes of icing from my cake supplier that the delivery guy has to manhandle up all our steps at the front but recently it's been Christmas bits. Yesterday's exciting delivery was a huge box with a Christmas tree skirt in! I just need to convince Mr R that we've always had that for our tree, and he'll never know... #interior_delux #interior4inspo #diydecor #myinteriorvibe #cornerofmyhome #interieur #myvintageabode #scandinavianstyling #interior123 #interiorstyling #homestyle #nestandthrive #styleitreal #thiscreativehome #interior4all #doingneutralright #howwedwell #sharemystyle #mybeautifulmess #myhousethismonth #storyofmyhome #periodhomesofinsta #stopandstaredecor #styleitlight #slowandsimpledays #pocketofmyhome #myinteriorsquares #howivintage #periodhome #mybudgethome
Instagram post 2186201189532564035_6413025398 Ooh la la, it's only Wednesday! My brain feels like it's got a billion things going on in it - my work to do list is huge, my house to do list is growing, Holly needs her own PA to sort out all the stuff she needs to bring/make/buy for school, I've got Christmas things to make and plan, I've got to exercise, find time to highlight my hair, do the cleaning, cooking - argh! 🤯🤯 The important stuff will get done, the rest - who knows!? Have a happy Wednesday!
