Bad Blogger
Yes, I know I have been a bad blogger recently and haven’t been writing anything at all. I have just been feeling a bit listless recently and haven’t felt that I had anything interesting to say. Even getting out of bed is a huge struggle for me most days so the thought of stringing some sentences together, adding some pictures and hitting “Publish” is way too much for me..
But today I am making the effort. Because I had a lovely day yesterday and I wanted to tell you all about it.
I was very upset last Saturday for no real reason, I just felt like I had nothing to look forward to. Yes, I know it’s Christmas soon but that in itself brings more stresses. ANYWAY, my lovely OH, Gary (aka The Muddy Duck) said he was planning a surprise for me & Sarah for this Saturday (i.e. yesterday). He was planning and consulting with Sarah’s husband all week and it was all very hush-hush!
Sarah & I were super excited and a bit nervous! Gary has been ill with a flu-like thing (proper flu, not man-flu!) and he still got up out of bed yesterday to drive us for our surprise – which was to see The Nutcracker ballet in Warrington! I love going to the ballet and I used to ballet dance myself until I was about 17. It was a fab show, lovely & Christmassy – if only there was snow on the ground as well lol.. 
We were meant to go for afternoon tea for the second part of our surprise but I didn’t want Gary to have to come to collect us again and drive us to the next place… so we went to Cafe Nero and had a nice festive drink. I had a cinnamon hot chocolate which was so cinnamon-y it reminded me of red aftershock… yikes! We then had a wander around the shops in Warrington and I bought a bottle of the famous Snow Fairy shower gel in Lush and a lovely bubble bar. I used Snow Fairy last year coming up to Christmas and I loved it! It took me about 10 minutes to decide what bubble bar to get as they all looked and smelt fab! I think I picked Creamy Candy in the end. 
So that was our lovely surprise day – rounded off by a trip to M&S to buy lovely food goodies! Big thanks to our other-halves for being lovely & planning our day!
Did anyone watch the X Factor last night – I really thought Little Mix were the best and I do hope they win!

Sorry to hear you've not been feeling good and hope you feel better soon – bless your husbands though, what a lovely surprise! I'd love to see the Nutcracker, especially now, although I'd definitely be happier without snow on the ground

I love The Nutcracker! Ooh, and I also love Snow Fairy, I want to go get myself some too!
I'm sorry to hear you were feeling a bit 'bleurgh' but what a lovely surprise Gary had planned for you! I hope you feel better soon!
