must. update. more. often.
I can't believe it is November already. Who stole my year? I want it back. Or a refund at least. Even some store credit would do.
I'm not managing to update here very often - one liners on facebook I can manage, but actually sitting down and writing more than two sentances requires time and being awake. And preferably the use of both hands at once. And not being distracted by farmville. Ooops.
We have had a lovely (if incredably busy) few weeks.
Last weekend I went to a halloween party with Izzy, went to a wedding reception with Richard, went swimming with both of them AND had Becky round for tea too. The party was at Charmel and Summers house - there were 6 babies, and it was surprisingly not as insane as I expected it would be. We are going to Summers 1st birthday in a few weeks, and I expect by then one or two more of them will have worked out how to walk, and it will be a bit more crazy. Definitely the following year it will be necessary to either take painkillers or a bottle of wine and some taxi money ;)
Claire and Pauls wedding reception was lovely. We got to catch up with Patrick, which is always good, saw Claire and Paul for the first time in about a million years, and Holley and Grim for the first time in even longer, and baby Oscar for the first time ever! Claire (and Paul of course, but everyone knows the bride comes first in these things ;) ) looked fab and very happy. And it was the first time I had danced since before I was pregnant too :) Oh. And we must have a special mention for the (everso yummy) pink cake!
This week has been busy at work, and we had a fun day yesterday. We didn't get tto do our normal activities in the daytime, but we were intived to tea at nursery for a bonfire night party! We had tomato soup and baked potatoes with cjeese and the bigger children had tofee apples they had made themselves! Then after tea we had a go with sparklers in the garden. By the time we left Richard was back in winchester and in the pub, and seeing as we were half way there anyway, we decided to join him, so we had an hour or so of being sociable with Dan and lucy too :) Oh and with cheesy chips. Which are far easier to eat than jacket potatoes if you are a baby!
Today is washing/cleaning the loo/going to the supermarket day. No where near as exciting, but it all needs doing!
