Finally got round to doing something today we should have done a long time ago. We don't watch much TV, apart from Graham Norton (BBC1), Holby (BBC1), and Downton Abbey (ITV). All Anais and Roman watch from the hundreds of cable channels is Disney Channel. We tend to mainly record and watch films.
Today we had a leaflet come through in the post detailing offers for new and existing customers so Mark phoned up for more information. We have now amended our package to the very basic package (we will still be getting 60 channels which I think is still too many) BUT upgraded to a TIVO box and upgraded the broadband too and by doing this will save almost £450 per year! We might keep Netflix now as we can watch it through the TIVO box instead of X-box thereby also saving by not having to buy X-box Live membership. In the daytime the radio is on and we watch films mainly so I don't mind losing hundreds of TV channels we never watch anyway.
It is all being installed on Thursday - woooooo!

I managed to get a dentist appointment this morning and my crown was re-cemented in. It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be - no needles and no drilling so I left happy :-) I have hardly eaten today though for fear of it falling out - a cup a soup for lunch, a melted brie cheese wrap for tea (everyone else had chicken wraps and wedges for their tea) and a caramel cupcake this evening.
Anais has been doing more work on her latch hook.
I have been playing with my die cutter today, it is taking some getting used to i.e. selecting speed, pressure, cutting depth etc for the thickness of the card.
Here is the card ready to be cut.

Machine doing its work...........
..........you can just about see the card has been scored.
I made two birthday cards (will show on the birthdays!) and two baby cards for next door and her son and daughter in law.
Last night I finished reading John Grisham "The Partner" so I have downladed two library books to get me in the mood for holiday - "The Windermere Witness" (mystery) and "The Rough Guide to the Lake District".
Tonight Mark is watching "Movie 43" before Netflix expires for the month tomorrow. I think it is pretty rubbish so I have done my blog and will shortly go and read the library books on my Kobo.

After a lovely Christmas and New Year break Anais and Roman are back to school tomorrow :-( Not looking forward to the early mornings and the house will be very quiet without them, I am going to miss them lots. x
