My Mum surprised us all with a holiday next summer, we thought we were going to pay for it but she has booked the villa and flights already!

I was thoroughly spoilt this year, lovely wine, new PJs, Jo Malone candles, tonnes of Clarins stuff from my Mum, new purse, new handbag, ugg slippers, new mirror, books, cds... jesus, too much stuff! Going to have a big January clean out soon.

I was however sick as a dog for about three hours today as I think I had an allergic reaction I had no Christmas dinner! Would have swapped pressies for feeling well enough to eat
