Celebrity stalking and anyone for a swap?

We're back from our holiday! It was great apart from Sam taking a dislike to both the swimming pool and the sea saying 'I want to go home' whenever we put him in either (unfortunately there are not a lot of other recreational activities available in a hotel famed mainly for its swimming pools and nearby beach!!!) Oh dear. My faith in holidays has generally been restored though although I have to say that holidays with two under fives are not particularly relaxing. Anyway back to reality...

Those of you who read my blog will know that I am quite partial to a bit of celebrity stalking autograph hunting when the mood takes me (usually as a diversion to doing something useful or important with my time). There was my Phillip Schofield obsession and my quest for an Ant and Dec autograph (both for my mum's birthday I hasten to add). This time I was after a present for Jon's 40th. I wanted something a bit different and funny to give him. The poor man has to sit through Strictly Come Dancing each week and I often ask him which of the dancers he thinks is pretty. Its a great game. You should try it. You say 'do you think shes pretty?' to each one. They have to generally say 'yes' and then you say 'is she prettier than me? Sit back and watch them squirm!! Anyway Jon has always said that Flavia is his favourite and look at what arrived in the post today. What a result. Thanks Flavia (clearly much prettier AND younger than me!)

Talking of celebrity crushes. I haven't had one for a while. Must do something about that....

Anyway I love getting exciting things in the post so I was thinking maybe its time for another swap? How about a Christmas Decoration swap? You have to send one handmade Christmas decoration to your swap partner along with a Christmas Card and a chocolate item. Nice and quick and easy.

What do people think? Please leave a comment (along with your email address if you can't be contacted through your blog) and also your real name if you want to join in. Swap closes 7 November and items would need to be posted by 1 December.

Whos in??
