This is what bank holidays are for… playing with the new toys that Santa brought. At the moment Daddy and Thomas are building the lego station.

Boxing Day
Fun day 2 now starts.

Santa arrived. It was fun following Santa on norad this year.
It was a emotional but fun and laughter filled day.
Thomas loved playing with new lego train and games. Thanks to everyone for all of our presents.
Merry Christmas x x

Christmas eve should not involve getting a taxi to pick up the second hire car…. all this insurance is confusing me. Enough now.
Spent the morning finishing the wrapping and cakes.
Finishing tiding the house, now off to dads for Christmas Eve to really start!! Whoop, whoop.

Yesterday was hard work.


am – me and tom spent the day chilling and cooking my mums choc cake.
pm- went to great grans to watch a xmas movie only for the did to break.
Picked Phil up from work and I went for a drink in town with friends. Phil thinks we have a flat tyre. He goes to quickfit to find out some of the tyres are illegal… nightmare begins…tow truck as its now out of hours and numerous telephone calls.
Thanks to Phils folks for picking tom and me up while Phil waits patiently.
Exhausted and end up in bed early.

Today was a visit to the see Santa in Sheffield with Aunty Clare .


Aunty Clare treated us to cookies and flapjack as we waited as patiently as we could in the queue. Tom practised remembering his very long list. Is such a priceless experience watching any child tell the very magical Santa what they want for Christmas. Tom’s eye’s shone while looking at Santa and talking about his list. Santa replied “there is much you don’t want young lad!!” Thomas couldn’t reply he was just happy to see Mr C!

Remember – always to test your stamping on scrap paper first, can you notice my mistake???

Today we met Phil after work and went to see the new 3D Santa movie Arthur Christmas. Tom loved being treated to pix&mix (not quite as much as yours Uncle Nigel!!). It was a good film which made us all laugh.

Last day at work….. yehhhh its time for the holidays.
5 sleeps and counting.

Day 16
I’m off work today. The morning started with a bump to the back of my car, nothing too serious.
At mid-morning my friend Kylie and me headed off to watch Tom’s Christmas Carol concert. All the Children sat and sang lovely.The afternoon was a haircut and the evening was out with my works Christmas party.

(I’ve blurred out the all the children’s faces apart from Tom’s).

Day 15
Another hectic day. At work they ask for Christmas present donations to our children In care. After collecting a donation from the team, my colleague and I dashed off to town to buy presents at lunch.
