Today on the blog I celebrate @rachellk.bsky.social breathing new life into her own blog about #dollshouse crafting, decorating etc cowboyscapescowls.blogspot.com/2026/01/mini...

I see your carving knife and raise you a hot plate of the same age.

You spectacularly generous people have raised £13k so far. We have a beyond-excited three year old likely to wake us at 5am, so it’s an early night here. I’ll have to catch up with the pix in the morning ♥️ #DuvetKnowItsChristmas www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

Very happy with my blow up bed - an emergency purchase this morning after my parents discovered last year's kept deflating. Cardboard table is an added bonus #duvetknowitschristmas

🚨The NHS says it has a shortage of blood and is asking all of us - can we donate our blood - it’s looking for 200,000 new donors to come forward Giving blood is one of the most rewarding things you can do Book an appointment or register today ❤️🙏👇 blood.co.uk

First weekend of the year that we were truly able to celebrate our lovely garden. Boosted by the return our local ice cream van, Alice’s Ices. I had my usual glorious milkshake while @rachellk.bsky.social had a cone!

I'm losing patience with Severance but this theory has made me rethink...

Saw a man breathing into a paper bag today and thought he was in trouble. Turns out he was enjoying a Greggs.

Beautiful Barry ❤️

Accidentally watched the entire final series of #BigBoys. Laughed, cried, had all the feelings. It's so well written - if you've missed it, start at the beginning.

Cake in a card 😋 My best friend is better than yours.

it has been 8 beautiful days since we hired our most talented and lawful employee. also why have 54 police cars and the entire London Zoological Society gathered in the museum café

A joyful discovery in Vondelpark Amsterdam 😃

"Do you really think they'll take your word over mine, child?"

A very musical weekend 🎵

You can also use the NHS App to register your organ donation decision. There are currently 7,977 people waiting for a transplant in the UK including 281 children. It only takes a few minutes - please do it today.

This was 15 YEARS ago. Good to know I've learnt nothing since then.

A priest a teacher and a rabbit enter a clinic to donate blood. The nurse asked the rabbit what is your blood type. The rabbit replied "I'm probably a Type-O"

Fresh from the groomers 😍

Time to say goodbye 😢

Just realised I've survived a whole day on picky bits. No meals required.

This has made me smile so much my face is aching: the Christmas lights in the Scottish town of Newburgh are designed by its children-there’s a competition to design a new one each year. They’re made by the same co. that makes the lights for Blackpool, the Shard & Champs-Élysées:

That was lush #GavinandStacey

I was a bit worried that #Duvetknowitschristmas wouldn't make much money this year but the move to Bluesky seems to have been a huge success. Please donate if you can www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know... And a big thanks to @rhodri.biz for this wonderful Christmas eve tradition.

This is a very handy cut-out-and-keep guide to #duvetknowitschristmas and its multi-faceted nature, which I would have thought of myself if I'd been a better human being

And if you'd to donate... #Duvetknowitschristmas

Delighted to see #DuvetKnowItsChristmas here. My blow-up bed comes with the usual warning of "Don't touch the bedside table!" (as it's made of cardboard)

A fab festive weekend 🎅🎄

A choice was made.

A few minutes of Googling and you could win £100 👀

ANYWAY. Here's your person of the year.

Checked Rhodri's profile for this news and there it is - one of my favourite parts of Christmas eve 🎄

I hate ladders. When I was wobbling about on incredibly soft ground this afternoon I could have sworn I was nearer the top of the tree but apparently not 😂 Still, not a bad effort and the front of the house is also looking very festive. I think we're ready 🎅🎄🌟

It’s the final of Strictly now, so I’ll be AFK for a minute. In the meantime read about why this - and Bake Off - are what we all need these days: heropressnew.blogspot.com/2024/12/love...

What a letter.

The wind has finally died down enough to get these guys out ⛄️🐾

First Christmas outing - done! 🎄 Despite the wind and rain, we loved Illuminate. The interactive parts were great fun and they squeeze an awful lot into a small footprint #Tonbridge
