6th February

Just before Christmas I went out to buy wrapping paper. I came back with a pair of Caterpillar boots and asked husband to give them to me for Christmas. Wrapped in the paper I did remember to buy. They were an excellent investment and have performed brilliantly in the snow, keeping my feet warm and dry and keeping me vertical. I realise they’ve featured in a few posts already but I’m just making them cost effective.

Now you may wonder what the glinty pendant round my neck is. It is, in fact, a Swarovski giraffe. Not the first time giraffes have made it onto the blog either – see 4th January and 17th January.  And each of them was bought for me by husband, who has a severe giraffe addiction. I have a severe giraffe affliction.

But I see that Missoni have sanctioned giraffes as animals worthy of £204 in earring form, featured in March’s UK Elle, so I must be on trend. Right?

For further giraffery, see this brilliant blog my friend emailed me – 1 million giraffes. http://www.onemilliongiraffes.com/

I forgot to show you my pants! This is what I created at my niece’s knicker-decorating hen-do. Not the most outrageous or creative of transformations but just a little embellishment, as I’d like to wear them again. All I did was add some little Swarovski crystals with a special heated wand (purple thing in the pics) to a pair of smalls I already had – so no cheatin’ goin’ on there!

Have I shared too much?
