"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever; in its place is something you have left behind. . . Let it be something good."

Oops!

You can imagine I was not best pleased!
And this is the guilty party!

Apparently my mum went into the bureau where the heart was hanging on the key.  Now my mum has Alzheimer's and can only seem to concentrate on one thing at a time, so despite the heart being about 6 inches high and wide, she never saw it. She opened the desk to get her hearing aid batteries out  and the heart fell on the floor, where it stayed until Rufus felt a bit peckish and  decided it was a tasty snack!  

Meanwhile, I was in town doing present shopping, it was a very difficult morning as town was heaving! It is very tiring trying to dodge people, especially those who seem to stop immediately in front of you and as you are steaming along you have to do quick detour around them or bump in to them.  

I wandered in to M&S and took one look at the queue at the sales desk and wandered quickly out again!  Managed to get into John Lewis and there were only 12 people in front of me so I joined the queue for the pretty mug I was buying for Dan's girlfriend.  She loves hot chocolate so I am going to fill the mug with various flavours, wrap it all in cellophane and attach various quilled bits to it - snowmen, flakes, etc

By the time I got home I was completely shattered! Only to be confronted by a guilty looking dog and a mum who had absolutely no idea why I was so cross.  She has no idea about it.

One good piece of news is that my wonderful husband managed to get my Wishblade working, so tomorrow I can make something new and different.
