A Tad Late - Merry Christmas!!!

So I have been awfully slack of late, with the festive season upon me I got all caught up in making gifts, begging for more christmas lights to put up outside, (even though I was acutely aware we did not have the budget for it) making 5 puddings -YES 5, 3 traditional Christmas puddings and 2 Chocolate Christmas puddings (Ok technically I only made one of the Chocolate ones entirely, after 4 days of boiling puddings I managed to convince my partner to take over making the 2nd chocolate one!), planning Christmas lunch with my folks who drove the 5 hours one way trip for a day visit (NUTS I KNOW), of course shopping, wrapping and thinking about what to get next!!!

Of course none of this is really an excuse for that fact I was just down right lazy and lacking motivation lol.

What else have I been up to? I did apply to go back to Uni next year and start a second degree (only 10years after I finished my first)! Time for a career change so what I am hoping to study? Science - specifically geography and spacial information. I love geography and maps so I thought why not!!! I am actually really excited, I will be study by distance, but I am hoping to do 2 subjects on campus to start networking!

So what gifts did I make? Pocket Handwarmers for my family who live out in Bathurst where winters rarely get over 10degrees and heat packs for everyone else! I was a busy bee!!!!

Aren't they gorgeous??

I seem to have forgotten to take a picture of the heat packs, though I am certain I took one, maybe on a different camera since we do have 3 floating around lol

I have also tried planting some new vegetables after the last lot kinda failed miserably lol. I went simple this time radishes and a chilli plant! Fingers crossed.

I will try and be more efficient with my blogging next year so I would now like to wish everyone a fantastic New Year and hope that 2012 brings you all your dreams!
