Well Christmas Day has been and gone, and it is now Boxing Day. I was very spoiled yesterday and got heaps of lovely presents - more than I was expecting! But I will save them for tomorrow for my Thursday Thirteen.

Today I told everyone that I was not going anywhere near the shops! Why bother? The Boxing Day sales always run for the week up to New Years. There’s no rush. I planned to sit and finish my book so I could get onto my next on in the list.

So what did I do at two o’clock this afternoon? Walked to the shops with my mum. We both had books to exchange that we’d be given and had already read, so that’s what I went to do. I ended up getting; Kitty by Deborah Challinor and Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult.
I’m excited about Kitty because it’s about a young girl in early New Zealand. I haven’t read any New Zealand history-based books.

Now it’s back to reading, relaxing and drinking. My weight watchers leader is going to growl at me!
