Thank you for the day of the week reminder Sally 🥰 I'm not a fan of NYE either. I'm just going to have a quiet evening and hope the new year just lets itself in with no major dramas 🫣
Love to you and your family Sally and I hope Gav and Toby are feeling better soon xx
Glad Gav and Toby are on the mend. If it’s any help I got a turkey crown from M&S yesterday reduced from £80 to £40. Didn’t need it but I’ve put it in the freezer and thought it would be nice to have in a few months time as we all love Christmas dinner 🤭😂
Not a big fan of NYE either, from the awful social pressure of doing something exciting as a young person to the sobering sense of loss as an older one. We do something similar to you - enjoy the peaceful cosiness x
We are the same on NYE! Would much rather be snuggled up on the sofa than experiencing an anti climatic evening out & stressing about how I’m getting home.
That's my idea of a good NYE too. 2024 has been a bit of an annus horribilis for me so not claiming 2025 will be better to avoid disappointment again !! Internally hoping !! Have a lovely lazy cosy evening ya'll 😘 😊 x
Lovely blog as usual. On your recommendation we watched official secrets and really enjoyed it, very thought provoking. Enjoy NYE in any way you choose 🥂. Keep politics the loft and vacuums the cat. Love to you and yours 💕
That is really lovely of you Jill - I literally imagine I am writing to my oldest school friend who I haven't seen for over 25 years - have you ever tried doing it that way? xxxx
Great public service Sally, such a shame about the boys, hope they are recovering well, have to say NYE is not one of my favourites either as this leads to January which was when I received some awful news one year, I will do what you mentioned maybe fill the month with daffs and tulips. Bathroom looks like it’s coming on nicely, we unfortunately are doing the same after Christmas. Happy NY to you, Gav and the boys xx
gosh sorry I had no idea January was so hard for you - YES to filling the void that the tree leaves, with daffs and tulips for a bit of newness!
Good luck with the bathroom - I can't actually wait for it to be done and I can have a good old tidy up and style it all up!! Happy New Year lovely xxx
Loved reading this! Hope everyone is on the mend. We’re doing nothing for NYE. We’re at our little cottage on the Cape and I just have been watching old British dramas…my absolute favorite! Happy New Year, Sally! 🥹🥰🥹
Awwww Sally so sorry to hear that you couldn’t celebrate Boxing Day as you had planned. It really is so unfair. Awful things seem to happen to such lovely people all the time. Don’t really do much on NYE either but my beloved mum god bless her loved staying up to celebrate and was so superstitious on the first footer into her home on New Years Day. My father in law would have been 90 yesterday and my mum would have been 90 this Sunday. My youngest is sandwiched inbetween as he will be 30 on Friday and I always remember that they said he had been their best 60th birthday present. Here’s to a healthy 2025 for everyone and having fun ❤️🥂🙏
Lovely chatty substack 🩷🩷 lots of lovely sale items I shall be looking into especially the candle 🤍 . Happy new year to you and Gav and I hope the coming week or two isn’t too sad/ hard for you lots of love and thank you for another lovely year of your Instagram account as I’ve said before you’re a joy to follow xx🩷🩷
We all need time to be slow and rest, sorry the bug forced this but hey, five films 🎥 🍿 and sale shopping 🛍️ Silver lining!! Remembering loved ones no longer with us 💕 😘
