Jeez, what a week...again! Been so busy at school deckin the hall up (we go all out and would easily win prizes if there were such things!), doing the Christmas fair, playing at a PE meeting (easy money lol) and doing extra supply (paid for Xmas dinner he he) that now I've got a bloody sinus inf again!
Still, next week should be easier at school and sweeter as our new Sports Dev Manager starts (ahhhhh!) and it's been in the local press this week that we got OUTSTANDING in all areas at Ofsted!!!
Plus, brill news for me...our school won an award of ??700 for being the school which has done the most for PE and I feel goooood!
15 get ups till we break up for Xmas....and so busy. I'm so excited for Gracie's birthday and all the parties the kids and us are going to. Yee hah!
Hope you lot are as happy and excited as me, if not I'll bottle some up and send it asap! (minus the sinus inf pain lol)
:\)

    You have been busy! All sounds good except for the sinus infection - hope that clears up soon, not nice!

    I am looking forward to Christmas this year, it will be the first one in two years that we have been in the UK with family so it will be really nice.
    Hubbies school aren't having a Christmas show this year which I think is pretty bad, it sounds like they just can't be bothered and I don't think I would be very impressed if I was a parent. I've told him I'm not going to the staff Christmas do this year either as last year we had to pay the equiv of ??30 for me (staff are free) and I really don't think it was worth it. Plus he is having such a hard time there at the moment that it probably isn't a good idea me going to a do with them all there as I may not be able to bite my tongue lol!!

    On a happy note it is snowing lots here today and it looks like it will be all week, we put on A Muppets Christmas Carol to start getting us in the Christmas mood lol! x

    I haven't even started getting Christmas presents yet - how bad am I!! I am going to try and get some stuff ordered online and sent to my mums so it is there and ready to wrap when we get there on the 21st, but I know I will probably end up doing last minute shopping when we are in the UK!

    We still haven't got anything for Bren for Christmas or his birthday and I am starting to feel a bit bad! I know it is silly to spend money on him when he is too young to realise and he is going to get spoilt rotten by his grandparents so will have lots to open, but still I can't help but think since it is his first Christmas and Birthday we should be getting him something.
    Everyone else seems to have got their los so many fab presents, am I just a total meanie?! x
