There's a lot going on recently but nothing that particularly warranted a full on 'post' all of it's own, therefore I thought I'd blog a little 'update'.
Can you believe it's only 30 days until Christmas? It only seems 5 minutes since I was lying on a beach in Majorca - browning nicely and now here I am, hat, scarf and gloves at the ready and precariously plodding my way to school as the dog nearly pulls me over on the icy pavements! Say what you like though about the hype, but I do love this time of year with the anticipation of Christmas. Cold, frosty mornings are wonder and especially so when walking a dog - why didn't anyone ever tell me? We'd have had him much sooner :)
My Christmas pressy buying is not going too badly (for once) although I always seem to make a good start and then my enthusiasm dwindles, leaving me with 26 presents still to buy come Christmas eve! How are you all getting on? You're all going to tell me now that you started in July and they're already wrapped aren't you?
Got a busy week this week. Monday started off with Dancing and Guides for 'A' as normal with an extra rehearsal thrown in ready for her Preliminary Modern exam this coming Sunday. Yesterday (Tuesday) was our very last school choir rehearsal for the 'Young Voices' concert taking place tomorrow at the NEC in Birmingham. The kids are really hyped (as am I!) about the whole thing although I think some of the younger members are a little nervous. They're really in for a great day though if last year was anything to go by.
Tonight I'm off to see my lovely friend Jo playing 'Edith' in 'Allo 'Allo which is being performed by Mayhem Theatre Group. From the little tit-bits I've heard so far, I can't wait! (More to come on this tomorrow :) )
As I've already mentioned tomorrow I'll be off to the NEC with the school choir. It's going to be a long but very enjoyable day. We leave school around 1pm and won't be returning till around half ten. As much as I love the snow and frosty weather, let's hope it at least holds off to allow us a safe and swift journey there and back.
Friday is a quieter day, although it is the School's Christmas fayre which I no doubt will be attending to test my luck on the old tombola :). 'S' also has a friend sleeping over Friday night as a treat for his 14th Birthday. Gone are the days of keeping them entertained though, luckily they'll be quite happy with a pizza and an evening of Xbox!
After such a busy week I'm relieved to say the weekend is a quiet one. 'A' has her dance exam Sunday morning but other than that I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing time with a morsel of Christmas cooking and cardmaking thrown in for good measure.
