The Mummified husband and I have been married for 17 years today! Some would say it’s true love. Some would say that it’s because we’re stubborn and some would say that the dark circles under my eyes are because I can’t take my eyes off him to go to sleep . ;) But I say it’s because he is truly my soul mate and I love him with all ... Read More

That is the number of years Bill and I have been married…almost….our anniversary is on Friday. Why so close to Valentine’s Day, you ask? Is it because Bill is such a romantic and wanted to get married on Valentine’s Day but it happened to fall on a weekday that year? Nope! Is it because with all the hype of Valentine’s Day, it would remind him each year of our ... Read More

I’ve had a number of people ask me how I make my jelly shots so I thought it would be easier just post it here to share. Before Aeroplane jelly brought out their  Create-a-jelly, we were a bit limited in the jelly shots that we could make. I’ve mixed orange jelly with vodka, the cola jelly with scotch or bacardi and the lime with midori. But now with ... Read More

But this year, we are partying! yes, crack open the discount cigars…..ok, maybe not cigars, but there will be food and drink and food…and more drink! While Bill is out ... Read More

OK, I don’t want to freak anyone out so that’s why I’m mentioning this now so the peeps who have a problem with me talking about Christmas in October have a chance to get used to this LOL My favourite Christmas forum, Magical Holiday Home, calls the 25th of each month “Rudolf Day”. The aim of this day is to do as many things as you like to help ... Read More

My bank offers a Christmas Club account. I’m not sure what the interest rate is on it but I do know that you’re given one free withdrawal each year if you want to withdraw funds before November, and any withdrawals after that have a $5 fee. I TRY not to withdraw out of that account but in the past, unforeseen circumstances arose and we had to dip into it. ... Read More

Organised for Christmas yet? I’ve fallen majorly behind with the 100 Days to Christmas countdown updates but not with my own preparations. I have just a bit more shopping to do and I’m still to wrap everything. I’m usually done by now and have all the gifts wrapped and under the tree. I don’t like being this unorganised and have already noted down ideas for 2010 Christmas to help ... Read More
