I am still marking, but Netflix is starting to email me about terrible (hurrah) Christmas movies. So tempted, so tempted, must focus.
I have to wrap my #YayAdvent this weekend, so maybe I will lean into it fully.

New local shop has been *very* helpful with #YayAdvent today. A good start also made. They do loads of packs of advent gift tags which I've not seen in volume before. Seems like we are setting advent trends.

Spent 27 minutes learning how to use UCD Workday for the only claim I can ever make on it. But now, Taskmaster. Phil's horse delight is making me laugh a great deal. I have my YayAdvent partner in contact. And my needless Betty's order has arrived, so I have parkin for when it is required.

I’ve been doing the bauble swap since it was started in memory of Liz Marley. I’d never felt that I wanted to do the full #YayAdvent but the bauble swap is equally lovely and only involves one item

Hmm, when does #YayAdvent open? Every year I consider it, baulk at the commitment, and regret it. Maybe this year....

Search Etsy for magnetic needle holder or minder. There are loads of options! This is my favourite which was a YayAdvent gift from a few years ago

What I'm most worried about is that I gave another calendar from the same series as one of my #YayAdvent gifts. I wonder if I should send a formal apology? Who knows what months she might have ended up with?

Definitely a double #TeaUp day. This is my #YayAdvent chocolate tea and it is unexpectedly and mysteriously delicious. Also with a marron glacé because it is still Christmas in my cupboards.

Thought this would be the safest way to bring my #yayadvent glass bauble back in my suitcase, and long story short, looks like I'll be hanging a trainer on the Christmas tree next year
