Wow 2 weeks

Well it has been 2 weeks since i blogged and what a busy 2 weeks it has been!

Last Friday I was given an early birthday present from the family (why it was early will become apparant!). It was a WiiFit!!! yay been wanting one for a little while, no idea how stuart managed to get one but get one he did.

Spent a good couple hours as a family on Friday evening playing on it - its a load of fun.

The next day I had a girly weekend with some friends in London - earlyish start caught the 930am train from ipswich. Got to London about 1030 was glorious weather, found our hotel dumped the bags then found a nice pub with outside seats for a couple hours - perfection. We then headed down regents street and finished up at Covent garden for more drinking. In the evening we went to a persian restaurant and even tried our hands at belly dancing!! we then headed off to a little bar in Soho before staggering back to the hotel.

Sunday was another glorious day, we walked to regents park and sat there for a bit drinking coffee, we then caught a boat from embankment up the Thames to St. Catherines dock where we spent the next 4 hrs sitting in the sun drinking before catching the train at 1630.

The next day I head off to a work conference in Oxford on Adult guidance, it was very interesting and worth going to. The Tuesday was my birthday and the conference did not finish until Wednesday (hence the early birthday pressie :) ) returned home on Wednesday absolutely knackered and back at work Thursday.

Thankfully it is now the weekend and i can relax!

Stuart is heading off to the ipswich beer festival tonight so i expect he will come rolling in at some ungodly hour drunk as a skunk!

Friday at last!

wow what a week at work I've had I am absolutely shattered.

I did however find time yesterday to donate blood. I am always being contacted by the blood donor service asking if I can give blood as my blood type is o resus negative. Not a rare blood group by any means but a blood group that can be given to anyone no matter what group they are. Usually O- blood is used in emergencies when there is no time to cross match or find out what blood type the patient is. Hopefully that will stop the telephone calls for a few months!

I have a girly night out tonight at a local chinese restaurant looking forward to it, looking forward to relaxing.

Nothing much planned for the weekend, we have a wedding next month to go to so me and the kids are going to go clothes shopping!

Florida!

Yay our Florida holiday is booked. We head out on 15th August 2009 returning early hours of 30th August. Staying in Highlands reserve - details below. http://www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/florida/holidays/florida_homes/orlando_homes/highlands_reserve/

I am so excited, even more excited than the kids are I think.

Been at my scrapbooking day today, so much fun but i always come home exhausted.

September

So 1st September, before we know it the shops will have father christmas and all their decorations up.

August has been fun, had a great weekend this weekend when Tony and Grete came down, had a barbeque, went paddling in the Sea (Holland-on-Sea) - well some of us went swimming. Went to a car boot sale on Sunday - always fun :). Pictures of the weekend below :)

Once our guests had left i sat down to finish my assignment for my masters module, 4 hours later and it was done yippeee. Next course starts in October - I'm a glutton for punishment!

Last night Alex says mum I need some handwriting pens, some pencils and a pencil case for school and sam says oh yeah and I need a spanish dictionary. Bearing in mind we went shopping for school stuff a couple weeks ago and they were asked if there was anything else they needed.....

So me being a sucker took Alex into town when i finished work today and we managed to get everything needed for school on Wednesday.
