Someone reminded me it was only 8 weeks until Christmas and that got me panicking a bit! I always concentrate on my nephews and niece first, then after that I’m free to start on the adults. I bought some more stuff today and will just keeping getting a few things each week. I’m deffo not a last minute shopper!

I’m not sure what’s going to happen this year because of recent family events but hopefully we’ll still see plenty of the kids. It feels kind of strange not being able to talk to my sister-in-law about the kids’ presents and having to relay everything through my brother. I still feel like she’s betrayed us all and I get really angry when I think about how she’s split up a beautiful family but I can’t bring myself to hate her. I am disappointed in her more than anything and it hurts to think that she is no longer part of our family by her choice. It will be a very long time before my parents forgive her - if ever.

HAPPY SAMHAIN!!!
