Busy busy busy

KIt's been an unbelievable busy few weeks here. Blue monkey is settling into year 1 and so far all seems to be going well. Pink monkey is loving pre-school she also has homework to do although she's far too busy telling her big brother what to do with his.

I went to a great work do - it was a fully functioning fairground and one of the best nights I've ever been to. 

I've also organised a cook off at work for all the team - if I say so myself it was a success - and completely original - so am awaiting all the other teams to do it next.

The other weekend I went to the Ramsbottom festival - the rain stayed away saw some great bands and went with a special someone - it was a great day - although I have realised CrabbiesAlcoholic  Ginger Beer is not for me!

Then last night I went to see Wicked with the girls - we've had tickets for 6 months and I had no idea what the show was about but it was brilliant - one of the best stage shows I've seen.

Blue monkey has started tennis and football lessons now - it'a great to see him enjoying all these new things - and means our weekends are busier than ever. Dropped a few balls this week but today managed to pick things up and get back on track - sometimes it feels over whelming making sure everything is sorted for all of us - but luckily that feeling is fleeting and after a day of organising it doesn't feel too bad again.

This week the plan is for us all to go scarecrow hunting - there's 60 scarecrows in various gardens around the local area - so we can go around and find them all and score them. I've promised the monkeys every night after school we'll go and find some - so something fun to look forward to.

This is a bit rambling but realised lots has happened recently - my tiredness is probably not helping!

My new man

Ops I've not blogged for a while it's been a busy few weeks lots to catch up on but today I'll tell all about the new man in my life!

I've been umming and ahhing over getting a cat for a long time - but once I told the monkeys we were getting one I had to stick to my word. Now we have our very own home and I know we are settled then it felt right. I phoned the RSPCA we got assessed and within 48 hours we were picking Bubbles up. He's about 8 months old but no one knows for sure as he was a stray. I knew it might take him some time to settle in but no he was in and happy within an hour - he's got a lovely temperament and is at this moment sat on my knee which is his favourite place. The monkeys love him and he loves playing with them. Even my mum seems to be a bit smitten. 48 hours in he's made himself at home and made our new house feel even more like our home.
