So at last, the day we'd all been waiting for - at a very reasonable 7.00am, we were all downstairs opening presents and at last 3 members of the family were very happy to get a Wii!
Father Christmas was very good to us all again this year.
The table was set for 7 and although I say so myself Christmas dinner was delicious!
Everyone has now gone home, we've cleared a little space, the Wii has been 'activated' and I'm now in for a very quiet few days as they all fight it out to win! I'm taking today and tomorrow off completely, then I'll disappear and do some jobs towards Top Drawer - a large design led trade fair in London in mid January.
I've had a little tidy up using our fab Pudding bin bags! and had a little look through the gifts I've received - it's always a blur on the actual day.
I am now a the proud owner of a fancy phone - I'm so not a gadget/ technological person so I am being given a lesson later today (probably by my 8year old!) on how to use it.
I was also very lucky to receive the Julie Arkell book and some spotty bits and pieces - of course!
So I will sign off and wish you all a continued happy Christmas and start focusing on New Year and the dreaded resolutions I make and never find time to do!.

Hi Becky
What a lovely time you've had. Your table looked fabulous.
Here's to a relaxed last few days before the onslaught of 2011. May you have a busy and successful year ahead ... and may we get that coffee break sometime before next Christmas!!!

Love your blog - its my first visit. I have been on a Julie Arkell course at Hope and Elvis at Welbeck - check out Louise's website or facebook page. It was fab she is doing more this year there but I think they are booked up - I missed the boat for this time - boo. Dont worry about knitting/sewing skills Julie really will guide you through the making process if you require. She is delightful. HNY to you and yours.
