Back to work tomorrow? And the first two days of sock tales...

Hands up if you're back to work tomorrow? Not meaning to sound too smug but I'm not! :-) (FYI I do have to work NYE and then back to norm on 2nd January!) 

So... What did Santa bring? 
My lovely gilet 
A gorgeous pair of Pandora earrings - Stars! 
Lovely choccies
I also got new cases for iPad and iPhone (more about those later)
Pj's, perfume, toiletries and charms for pandora bracelet. All in all I did very well! I also got a spa day at wyboston in February! 

I mentioned about the cases? 
Well I got a spigen case for the phone - and it's amazing. It's clear so you can see the phone in all it's rose gold prettiness. The edges are firm to the touch but with a test "knock" on the table it is a rubberised material. A little quirk is that when the light on the phone is on it illuminates the case too... So I'm glad that I have the light set to flash when my phone rings - will be handy if phone is in bag! 
The iPad case is by a company called tuff luv and m selected it. It's going to take a little bit of getting used to following having the stilgut case. 
I've done a spot of sale shopping.. Two bags and a bluray... Will tell more when they arrive! 
Ooh! I got sock yarn, pattern and DPNs and I'm determined to finish the bloody pair! So I will keep you posted on the sock progress. 

Day one and two of sock tale
Day 1 of the sock: cast on and split over 4 needles. Started to Knit 1x1 rib for 15 rounds.. Liking the look of the variegated yarn so far. 
Day 2 of the sock: continued and finished the cuff section. Now onto plain knit. Currently at around 15/40 rounds; not too shabby!

Merry Christmas to me!


Yesterday; a shopping day with a few little extras thrown in! Met with my lovely friend L yesterday in St Albans. It was one of those days that things seemed to go right in the morning - I know it seems weird to comment on but that was how it went! Traffic was fine; car park was a joy etc. Well, on the way to St Albans had the radio on - and I'm a local girl when it comes to radio; and I very rarely diverge! Anyhow radio on and they start with weather warnings - I'm then slightly panicked as I had heard nothing!! So I listen further and they're forecasting strong winds and rain- well that pretty much happened as soon as I stepped out the car the other end and it did not let up for the rest of the day. It was still wild winds and rain right up to midnight when I eventually fell asleep! 
What did I buy? Well. My plan was stationery and I fulfilled that! Paperchase was absolutely rammed of people - wasn't fun I must admit. But I got a few bits in there.. Wilkinsons was a good haunt. I then found this quirky shop called TINC had never heard of them before and they were a basic stationery supplies store but in different colours. V weird to explain. But I got myself a hard case for the stationery so that it is portable. I managed to find some Washi tape as well. It seemed hard to come by yesterday but I did manage some. 
I did start making index cards for my filofax which is being a work in progress.. 
As it shows:
And last night we got to the Hobbit pt 2. And I won't say that I was disappointed; far from it. I was just very very very tired. But it did instill in me to read the hobbit and try to make sense of it. How? By writing notes in this lovely Hobbit moleskine!
I may blog again later! Will probably find some time tomorrow to blog away! X
