It\u2019s the week before Christmas&#8230; how did that happen?! I love Christmas but I feel like it\u2019s really crept up on me this year. I\u2019ve never been the best with organisation but I am seriously behind present-wise this year. As I think I\u2019ve said in previous blogs, Lawrence and I are hosting for the first time this year and I ordered the food aaages ago but I\u2019ve only really just started buying gifts. Well, I suppose food is the most important bit&#8230; right? Ha! I know what I\u2019ll be getting most people, I just haven\u2019t, well, got it. How are you doing Christmas shopping wise? All done or like me?<\/p>\n<p>At least I still have lots of paper and ribbons from last year so no need to top up on that&#8230; bonus!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of presents and celebrating&#8230; it was Monty dog\u2019s second birthday on the 14th December. I can\u2019t believe we will have had him two years in February, although it sometimes feels like we\u2019ve never been without him. His birthday treat was a marrow bone&#8230; his fave. Oh, and he got to lick the yoghurt pot when I was done with it&#8230; happy pup!<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/monty-cropped.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-90572 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/monty-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/monty-cropped.jpg 795w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/monty-cropped-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/monty-cropped-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/monty-cropped-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>I\u2019ve also promised him a new rope tug-of-war toy, as I\u2019ve hidden his old one. He absolutely loves it but it just got too smelly so a new one was very much due!<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s all systems go on the dining room for Christmas as well. As you know from previous blogs, we\u2019ve had it all re-plastered and we\u2019ve finally got some colour on the walls.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-blue-cropped.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-90569 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-blue-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-blue-cropped.jpg 795w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-blue-cropped-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-blue-cropped-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-blue-cropped-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>I bought the paint quite a while ago and I decided on an ultramarine blue long before we\u2019d even started on the room. It\u2019s very bold but one thing I\u2019ve learnt during house renovation is that I don\u2019t like white walls much and why not have a big statement in the dining room?<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-2-cropped.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-90570 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-2-cropped.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"795\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-2-cropped.jpg 795w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-2-cropped-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-2-cropped-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dining-room-2-cropped-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>So here\u2019s a sneak peek&#8230; it needs another coat as it\u2019s a little patchy because the paint comes in two separate coats, one of which is translucent (very posh eh?) but I\u2019m so, so happy with the colour. We also bought a new dining table, which can extend to seat up to 12 people, so eight of us will be perfectly comfortable for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>So still no proper flooring, no nice new doors, no matching new chairs or even curtains but I\u2019m hoping a bit of Christmas sparkle and spirit will go a long way and we\u2019ll have a great time anyway, despite the not-quite-finished vibes in the room. There will be five dogs with us on the day too, so that should keep us happy and entertained if nothing else!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been all go here at QVC of course too, and I want to take a moment while we\u2019re talking interiors (sort of) to mention one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/content\/todays-offers\/the-big-deal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Big Deals<\/a> this week.
