Kid is planning on watching a Christmas movie every day. So far she has done Die Hard and Nightmare Before Christmas. Currently trying to work out how to persuade her that Robocop is a Christmas movie.

Festive murder tree currently ‘resting’ in the shed. Moved furniture in case we ever trust the festive murder tree only to find the cat has been peeing behind the sofa and all over the kiddo’s yarn stash. And all in the four gang we were going to plug lights into. Christmas spirit I do not have it
So thanks to a still-live wasp nest in the loft - apparently a single nest can produce 200 queens - I have developed a sudden suspicion of all the decorations that have just come down and am currently debating if we need to dump the tree. Already had one queen ominously rise from fake foliage.

Just over 3 hours left.
There’s just two days left to get these handprinted (by me) t-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts. After that, they’re gone. I’m not doing Black Friday as I’m not Amazon and everything I sell is priced fairly to begin with.

Fab time (not sarcasm!!) taking my 80 year old parents to Croydon Ikea this morning. Even when my radio-silent-for-days sister dropped into the fam WhatsApp _solely_ to post a shopping list request. Proof that the Sunday morning first thing Ikea vibe is immaculate whatever you throw at it

"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

Ah RIP Udo Kier. My favourite actor, probably the most beautiful man ever, always fascinating, and absolutely hilarious. Photo from ‘an evening with’ in Toronto years ago (where Barbara Steele was an enigmatic presence in the dark at the back of the theatre - such a fun eve)
