  • No Beanie, you only get a leaving gift if you actually tell people in advance that you are leaving! I only told the parents tonight.

    I did however get a couple of nice Christmas presents :D.

    Glad you finally finished Beavers. It's only natural to feel a bit sad when it's the end of something you've been doing for a while. I expect you'll miss some aspects of it. Good to free up some time though :)

  • Yoohoo all! Hope everyone has a full set of spoons today Xx

    Super busy here but all is well. DH is less angry which is a good thing, but we will see what happens when the tablets stop completely.

    I feel like all I've done recently is wrap presents and that's just ones for other people!! I still have loads to do including all the boys presents. It's been nice giving the first few things out and seeing people happy to receive! I'm definitely a giver :D.

    Yesterday, I gained a pound at chub club which was annoying as I'd been good, but the week before I stayed the same when I'd been naughty so perhaps it was catch up. DH gained 7lbs last week and then stayed the same this week so I think I got the better deal!!

    Last night we went to see DS1 in his Cubs Christmas production and I was thrilled when he was then presented with the Super Cub 2014 trophy!! I've had more proud Mummy moments that I can count this week, so I truly am lucky!

    2 more days until the boys break up from school :D
    I've got a coffee morning tomorrow with some of the Mums from school and then a night out with some other Mums on Friday (get me with a social life!!) :D.
    Only one more shift at work and then I'm off until February :T
    8 more sleeps til Santa :D
    Happy days :j
