The Thank you Blog

Today I want to say thank you!

Thank you to my lovely husband who has done a wonderful job of swopping the children's bedrooms around.

Thank you to my fabulous Mum who has been kind enough to take time out of her day to help me sort out a bunch of toys.

Thank you to my children - who adore their new rooms and are playing beautifully.

Thank you to my Mother in Law who has offered to look after my sprogs so I can take my Mum out on her birthday.

Thank you to the lovely Lynn at Starlite for all her help with my dancing orders.

Thank you to Anna for suggesting a marvellous new hall for teaching.

Thank you to the man who invented the hoover and the chap who invented the dishwasher - where would I be with out you.

I have come to the conclusion that we are so busy in our lives that we never have the time to genuinely say thank you to those who deserve our thanks. And that one little word makes so much difference to that person. So next time some one does something for you - even something that seems menial and irrelevant - try saying thank you - and see how good you feel too.

Attractive!

So here is my face without my mole. It's now almost 9 months since it was removed and even though the surgeon said it would be ok and not turn keloid - I think it might well have done. It's twice the size it was when there was a mole there at least and is still sore, raised and red. It has also done a good line in pulling my mouth slightly to one side. Not pretty.

Add to that the awful pregnancy skin I am suffering from, my general feeling of massiveness, and the fact I really need a decent hair cut - I'm generally feeling fairly naff!

On a plus point though, we are finally starting on the great bedroom swop!! How exciting - child number 4 might have somewhere to sleep!

I passed (in July)

Ok, so I took my ballet exam back in July and found out at the end of August/start of September that I passed it - which was awesome - 2 written papers, an essay and some observations and I am done! Hurrah.

However...

About 4/5 weeks ago I found out baba number 4 is one the way, at the time I found out I was already 14/15 weeks and so I'm not quite sure where or when I shall find the time to study and do all the things I wanted to do! Still it couldn't have planned it better - I only need to find teaching cover for around 3 weeks!!

I am already planning my takeover of the world - today I sorted out the children's clothes, and Daisy and I made Christmas cards. G has gone out to play bass for the evening with a friend and I am going to crack on with my secret santa present for the girl at work.

Onwards and upwards!
