Shamed!

.. by Karen, Yvonne and Janice and their currently prolific blogging..so i have to write a note to say Hi and Bye before we leave for warmer climes tomorrow. We have had such a busy year, it's just manic at times and I know you always feel worse just before you go, but I am pooped!

Kate went to the Clothes Show with school yesterday and I was up at 5am, and whilst she slept on the coach I was home ironing and ... well, blogging.. and then making Col's porridge! Now the early start is taking its toll, it's been all go today, last minute shopping, a little sortie to the waxing lady and as a treat gellish nails... then out again to collect the hire car!

Such has been my life the past week, and tonight Ross taught himself, then me to email pics from my new phone... I took this one at the weekend.. the story of my Sunday.. birthday presents for Jordan, two cakes with almond paste ready for icing when we get back and a bunch of sun oil for the days in between!!

.. notice the festive window in the background, I'm raring to go.. just wish my arms and legs felt the same..!

And as a parting gesture, as I promise to try and send some pics from afar and will definitely do my festive blogging with a '12 days of Christmas' offering, I will add a little pic of Kate after school one evening.. you can see how the place inspires her!
