Hello everyone, so that you all know I have been having a nice week...well hard but not too bad! It's holiday next week, it officially starts saturday after the children go home! I get two weeks of sleeping in, sight seeing and relaxation! it should be brilliant, and most of the co workers are staying here!! I'm thinking Bath, Bristol,Stroud and London maybe...I really need to see a big city ( I really miss the lights and sounds!)
Oh so I got my package from my mum at LAST (damn postal strike!) that made my week complete I practically fell down just running down to Thornbury Park to pick it up! I loved all of it, and I cried when I opened it up...I loved the coffee Karyn and Kali, Every time I drink some I close my eyes and see a vivid picture of home, and all the memories that come with it (which is a lot!). Mason I loved your picture you made me and the bookmark ( I cried when I saw these) they are beautifully made! I also have a feeling you helped mom pick out the sweeties, yippee peach rings and pokey!!! Mum I loved the coffee press and my shoes (kisses)!
Another thing that made my week was that yesterday I got my first letter from Hana (thank you, yours I just sent today<3) It was so nice to see your hand writing and hear about what's going on in your life! (others feel free to do the same :)
Last night Anna and I went to the Lion for a drink and played a very bad game of pool (I won though!) then came back for a movie and a cup of tea!
Today is my day off, I didn't do much just slept in, had a hot bath and a late breakfast plus my usual chat with Tracy! Then about 12 ish I Went into Brie purchased some envelopes, more stamp, and a new pair of trousers (only £4 thank you!) I love second hand shops here!
Tomorrow and saturday are going to be crazy, loads of cleaning and child control! So I'm taking it easy today so that I have energy to keep going! Then saturday night we are all going clubbing in Bristol, we will catch the last bus from Brie and the first bus back in Bristol the next morning about 5 am!! Crazy I know but it should be fun, mum, Da don't worry I'll be careful! It's our weird way of kicking off the holiday's and letting our minds go free after all this work we have been doing!
Oh another thing is (this is directed at family) is Tracy said that on Thanksgiving she would make a mini Thanksgiving lunch with my help of course! So could family please send me recipes? I would love that, thank you!
oh and on the subject of food...I've lost 5lbs!!! must be all the Veg I'm eating and from running after children :) But I feel really healthy and happy so that's what matters!
Well I miss you all very much and Im still working on getting my photo's up so just be patient thank you!
Look for more posts!

Thank you for the great post! You are so good at it.
I hope the holiday is fun. Take lots of photos, especially of you!
How wonderful that you are feeling healthy and an added benefit is a bit of a weight loss. It is wonderful that you are walking, running and eating well. I'm so grateful for that. When you come home you can teach us a bit about eating healthier.
I look forward to your blogs about the holiday.
Look for another letter that should be coming soon from one of your favorite people :)
I love you sweetheart and I am SOOOO proud of your hard work, generous heart, and positive attitude. You are amazing--truly.
