Good to get away

Well it's been a few days since we got back from the Church weekend away. I had such a good time! It was great being back at Ringsfield and it didn't really seem much different. It was just a good time of teaching, spending time with each other and generally lots of laughing! It's good to spend time with your mates!

Bekky is finally on her half term holiday and to be honest she looks like she needs a good rest! I don't think it's been a particularly long term but she seems pretty tired! As it's her birthday this week we've got a few things planned. I'm taking her to see The Sound of Music Tuesday evening, then on her actual birthday she wants to go to the "Red Cafe" for lunch - which is basically the greasy spoon round the corner (she's got taste my girl has) and then we're going into Oxford Street. Thursday we're going to Jenny's and Bekky is going to stay there for a couple of nights. I think she did that last year for her birthday - it's good it's during half term as she can then see Charlotte (and now Alfie) near her birthday! Michael is on holiday this week - so although I am working it shouldn't be as busy!

Andrew and Dawn are coming tomorrow, it'll be nice to finally meet her! Sunday we're going out to 'afternoon tea' at our friends house. That's how posh we are!!!

It's Monday Again!

How can it be Monday again? Sometimes I find it hard to believe that Saturday and Sunday have the same number of hours as normal days of the week - they just seem to go so much quicker!

Weekend was good. Got my hair done on Saturday at Tracy's - now a bit blonder than i was. I then got back in time to watch the rugby - not that that was really worth it. Still can't quite believe that from being so far in the lead we then lost. Sunday was Church and that was about it.

Work was ok today Michael was off so was just able to get through work at my own pace and managed to get a lot done which was good.

We've got our Church Weekend Away coming up which I'm really looking forward to. We are going to Ringsfield Hallwhich funnily enough is where I've been as a youngster for our church weekends away. It'll be very odd seeing it now - I always thought it was such a big place but i bet it's not that big at all. Mind you it might seem the same, I'm not much taller than i was back then!!! It will be lovely to take Boo somewhere where i used to go as a youngster!

What's happening.........

I'm back!

Happy 2008 - only a month late!

Christmas has been and gone. We had a really nice one. Mum and Andrew arrived late Christmas Eve and we went to Jenny and Matt's which was really lovely! Jenny cooked a great Christmas lunch and it was just a really nice relaxed day!

Matt passed his driving test at the end of November and we have got a car which has been fantastic - so we we're able to take mum back to Norfolk on Boxing Day.

Jenny, a very pregnant Michelle, Jessica and I all went to see Take That at the beginning of December. It was fantastic as we expected! There was a slight hiccup when Rob accidently threw the tickets in the bin - so Alison had to come to Greenwich to pick up some more tickets for us - but it was all worth it!!

Work has been really busy. I'm now working 4 days a week for Michael which is working out ok - took a bit of getting used to but I think i'm getting used to it now! I've also been looking after my friends little boy on a Wednesday which is lovely - he's so sweet!

We've also had my beautiful niece's 8th Birthday - we had another lovely afternoon at Jenny's.

It'll soon be Bekky's 7th birthday - can't believe how quickly she is growing up!

Well, i'm signing off now - i'll try and do a more interesting blog next time!!!
