Blimey, I am getting really crap at updating this blog. Anyway, I received a blog award! Got it from the Scrapbook Sisters. Surely very undeservingly, but hey, an award is an award....!
This award states that: This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY- nearness in space, time and relationships.These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends, they are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.
Anyway, what news? Well, not much scrapping going on at the mo, got a nice kit from
Sarah's cards which I've just subscribed to, and still waiting for my Scrapbook Sisters kit (hint hint!) which usually kicks my ass into gear. I have signed up for a couple of swaps on UKS which I have bimbled around with for weeks, and now am under pressure to finish this week. One of them is the Advent Swap - basically you get allocated a swappee, get to 'know' them by means of viewing the polls completed by the people taking part and by surreptitious 'Secret Santa' messages to find out more info about your person, and then you buy/make gifts to go into a parcel for them - one pressie for every day in December until Christmas Day! It can be a little expensive, you are meant to work to approx £1 per pressie, but some have cost me considerably more, and some I 'got' for free. I have about 5 more pressies to sort, I think, and it must be with her by this Saturday...... Anyway, I will be getting a parcel too and have the joy of a little pressie every day! The Christmas Tree is going up on Sunday (I like to get full value out of Chrismas by starting it as early as humanely possible).
Yesterday I was suffering with a Corneal Erosion, which I have not had since April. Bloody painful and knocks a whole day into touch - I literally am grounded - it is too painful to contemplate doing anything. As it happened, this one has been the least painful/severe of the several I have had, but still needed a couple of codeine before bedtime. I am, however, always hugely impressed with the way the eye (being such an important 'organ' I suppose), starts to heal itself immediately. Going to bed last night in extreme pain I was able to comfort myself with the knowledge that by morning, I would be largely pain-free. And so I am. A little tender and puffy but - better. Good old eyeball.
