Homemade Xmas challenge update

I can safely update this now, I will deffo not be doing any more crafting in this heat!

This month, as I predicted, I have made virtually no progress- I know what I need to do, I just need some free sundays to complete my last 7 presents!
And, as predicted, now that it's hot the very last thing I can be arsed with is crochet. Which is a shame really as 3 of the presents I need to complete are half made in the wool basket in the front room. it's just too hot and sticky.
Too much wool.
Too warm.
urgh.

I will do better next month, and I will finish all my main presents. I'll be a bit relieved when I'm finished to be honest.
I'd like to stop thinking about xmas whilst I'm all sunburnt. It's seasonally confused.
