The Christmas cards keep coming in thick and fast to us presenters here at QVC, so thank you so much everybody who is caring enough to send one: QVC, Chiswick, W4 usually gets there LOL. Thank you again to the lovely lady who made this for me – it\u2019s a Debbie doll! I assume it\u2019s a Debbie doll, looking at the Lola Rose<\/strong> beads (I love Moroccan mix!), and the curly hair. \ud83d\ude42 What a lot of work you have done, 1 million thank yous!<\/p>\n

Thank you to Carol from Sunderland who loves my Thursday bantz, says I make her laugh and it’s great when people are feeling down. She was also a fan of my singing sessions during lockdown. And you never know, there might be one next Thursday 23rd when I do my live Facebook on my page in the evening. So try and catch it if you can.<\/p>\n

Sibling day out<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Went for an early celebration – a sibling Sunday lunch, with sister Linda and brothers Glenn and David, (Derek was poorly again), for Linda\u2019s birthday. It was the White Hart in Godstone again, one of the best Sunday lunches ever! I also did a super sharing platter pudding and put candles in it so we could sing her a happy birthday! Her hubby came as well and it was a really enjoyable lunch. One of the best I\u2019ve known actually. So nice to see my family. Better enjoy it while we can, right!<\/p>\n

Blake day out<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Also had a nice day out on Saturday when I took Blake to see the Narnia production, done by Putney arts theatre children\u2019s troop. It was very basic but she watched avidly all the way through, which was a great achievement! Laura came as well, so did sister Linda and we had a really nice day, even though it was drizzling most of the day. And I spent two hours and 50 minutes in the car just going to pick people up and then go to work! Eek. Will be seeing Blake and little baby Kaleb, Brad and Kari one more time before Christmas and then they go to see Kari\u2019s parents this year. Looking forward to it!<\/p>\n

Eye eye<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Had my check-up at the eye experts and the professor said that my retina was in good condition. For those who missed it, I had a detached retina operation at the end of September. But there\u2019s already sign of a cataract, which means I will have to get that done probably next summer, I would imagine. I\u2019m noticing how much worse my vision is in my left eye and have had new glasses recently. Oh well, I\u2019m sure it will go okay! \u00a0When I got into work, the drops they put in to dilate the pupil so they could do the examination of the back of my eye were still in play, and this one was taken! I walked around scaring everyone with my spooky eye! ha ha!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Dahlia rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Made sure I got in and dug up some dahlias last week, don\u2019t want to waste them, and one of them was like a bunch of massive grapes! Should get some good flowers off those next year! Glad I remembered to get them out of the ground before the frost ruined them. Been listening to Richard Jackson<\/strong><\/a>! Talking of home, just got delivery of some new bird food, new improved recipe and everything, look out for that in the next few weeks!<\/p>\n
