I have a lovely jigsaw, still in its wrapping, from wentworth puzzles. One present to myself

I still want to get some other items, not alcohol and not food or chocolates. The first year I was widowed, I bought myself a kit, to make a wooden spinning wheel. It took me weeks and turned out marvellous, I am very proud of that. It took me through the whole dark winter

Since I was widowed:

I buy christmas presents to myself, so I too can have some nice things to open on christmas day. I shall be going for a visit to one dd over lunchtime but need to feel a bit of excitement when I come home, otherwise the house will just be too quiet and an anti-climax

My advent calendar box has arrived, a sewing box from beyond the pink door. I can hear all the items rattle when I shake it. Exciting for me and safely put away until december 1st
