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.
My Picture from Day 18.
We all met back home in Leamngton to celebrate mums birthday tomorrow. We enjoyed Christmas lunch in Bistro Pierre.

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.
Today is Geoffs 70th birthday.”Happy Birthday”. Just going round to celebrate with a cuppa.
If a girl cannot find a new dress, shoes will do instead!!!!
Brrrrr its 2oC and icy cold, but no snow.
Just managed to make this mornings train, after finishing off Toms school xmas cards, he’s very proud that he has written 30+.
When did the date become double figures??
We’ve had a lovely busy weekend.
Friday was the start of wrapping the presents.
Saturday was Phil at work in the morning.
Tom was a sleep when I woke up, so I took the chance to catch up with my diary. It wasn’t long before Tom was up and asking for us to start putting up our christmas tree and decorations. Since redocorating the livingroom back in the spring, this was a challenge, as we no longer have a fireplace to hang some of the decorations.
Tom and I had loads of fun. When we picked Phil up from work, tom told him we had just had a lazy day, so it was a nice surprise for Phil when we got home.
Saturday afternoon and on Sunday we headed to Pams house where we had a lovely time. The kids played, we caught up with news. It was fab.
Sunday evening, when we got home tom started to write his class Christmas cards, now this could be fun, 30..29..28.. more to do.
I’m behind on my diary, but will try and post at least my pictures later. X
I’ve cheated a bit today, as the story and photo is from last nights Christmas Tree light switch on in Hucknall. Tom is in the beavers so we all gathered in our local Aldi, and marched proudly into the town waving at the crowds. Hundreds of people had come to watch the light switch on.
After the parade, Tom and his friend Scott enjoyed a couple of the fairground rides before meeting Santa. Tom was a little worried that he had not told Santa everything that was on his list. I reminded Tom that Santa has already seen his list. Tom was on HAPPY boy!!!!
On the way to Toms school nativity. I can’t wait.
Yesterday was a normal working and school day for us all.
Tom happily played with his cars, before playing the tooth fairy game before bed.
