Well Hello There 2016!



Hi everyone.  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  2016 is finally here and time to write a new chapter.  Sorry I have been quiet the last few weeks, it has been a very busy time for us.



First off all, the obvious, Christmas! We had a quiet but really lovey time.  The children had an absolute blast and Santa was very good to them.  They received the presents they really wanted, which where a Kidizoom camera each (one pink, one blue of course!) Sophie asked for a talking Kevin Minion and Liam asked for a WWE ring.  Myself and James also got beautiful gifts for which we are very grateful for. I had great fun spending my Christmas money on new clothes!



New year was a quiet one, the kids went to bed early and I was in bed not long after midnight. As far as we are concerned it is just another day.  We went for a nice long walk on new years day so the kids could use their new cameras, "just like Mummy does". Belle loved her long walk and hardly moved off the couch afterwards the lazy pup!

The start of January also meant I only had two weeks to get my third assessment completed and submitted for my university course.  I managed to get it completed with seven says to spare it is just a case of waiting for the result to come in after deadline day. Let's just say I am really nervous about this one as the essay had to discuss how supermarkets use their power to  constrain consumer choice. 1250 words were not enough, I could have went on for days about that!!

School and nursery started back and Liam and Sophie were delighted to see their friends again and tell them about what they got for Christmas and are happy to be back into a routine again.

Glad to be back to business as usual.
