Well, well, well – the final weekend of November. This time next month it will be boxing day! I’m sure we will all be sitting around, surrounded by toys, boxes and weighing about three stone heavier than we did the week before. Who can resist a mince pie or four?

So this week is quite a busy one. We have all the usual sports clubs, instrument practice, and homework, and it is also Ben’s 4th birthday on Wednesday. No doubt Wednesday evening will be spent in the park with him and his new bike! Harrison also has two non-uniform days this week and needs to take cakes and various other things in for the school fayre. I’m doing a little photo shoot with my friends and their newborn babies on Thursday which I’m looking forward to, and we may have a blog event to head to in Broughton on the evening. I’m most looking forward to the weekend though – I’ll be driving down to Birmingham (for only the second time on my own!) for a meal and a disco with some other bloggers. Watch out for the photos on social media!
