Girls day out...
Susannah was desperate to go to Coras after hearing that I had taken Abigail and sam the other day - she hadn't been there since June when Nigel was here, and she loves it there, so as we were up so early this morning to get Laurence to work, and as a thank you for her help today, I took her there as a treat!
It was fairly quiet when we got there, and we were shown straight to a table, which was ideal! When we were leaving, the line of people waiting for tables was out the door and we had to fight our way through it to get out!!!
As always the food was fabulous and despite how busy they were, the service was great :) I could only eat a quarter of my waffle today - maybe because it was so early.....but their portions are soooooo BIG and the fresh fruit is piled on sooooo HIGH!!! YUM!! :)
:)
First day of work...
Laurence started work today...well, today was orientation, and he starts officially on Tuesday. Last night we had to go and get him steel toed boots ready for today. Not cheap!! But we got good ones for him in case things fall on him in the warehouse - and outside ones for when he has to work in the garden centre or outside getting shopping carts.
All of a sudden in the last couple of months he has really grown up :) He used to be so nervous and unconfident but now suddenly he's happy to do things on his own - job interviews, bank appointments etc etc!! It's great seeing these changes :)
He has been so helpful over the last couple of years! So much I couldn't have done without him!!

Friday fill-ins....
So...here we go!
1. Sleigh bells ring and the children get excited to put some money in the Salvation Army pot and get a candy cane.
2. It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees always makes me think of the scene from You've Got Mail where she's talking about missing her Mom while she hangs ornaments on the tree!
3. You're a mean one Mr Thorpe - I can't believe what kind of Father you have turned in to. It is so sad to think that you have become the person you always said you never wanted to be. Thank goodness the children have better male role models in their lives.
4. Father Christmas is coming next week and the children's excitement levels are getting ridiculous :)
5. Silent night is what I had last night - no little boy tiptoeing in at 1am....I missed him :(
6. All I want for Christmas is some tarot cards as I would really like to learn to read my own from the book I have!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to get Laurence's work boots with him then coming home to watch Just Friends with Susannah and Rosie, tomorrow my plans include taking Laurence to his first day of work, taking Susannah to breakfast and then doing some volunteer work before deciding how to spend the rest of our day and Sunday, I want to go and help Nicole celebrate her birthday BUT it depends on Laurence's work shifts etc!
