Well life carries on at the great speed that it always seems to! The year is already nearly over and I'm still feeling like something has been missed out and I've been cheated out of a couple of months! I haven't written for ages and had almost forgotten about it all. Once you get out of the habit of doing something it takes a while to get back. All is well in the house of Lang. We are all busy as usual and cramming as much in as possible.
Its half term next week and we are going away to the lovely cottage we stayed in last year with the rest of the Sleeman/Langs. I think we all need a good break. Ben didn't get any time off over the summer holidays as he started his new job so it will be nice for us all to be together and just have some fun.
Emily and I are going to Plymouth tomorrow to get her braces fitted at the orthodontist. She has to have them fitted to her top and bottom teeth and shes not feeling to great about it as you can imagine. The poor thing has been worried for weeks and looked really sad as she went to bed tonight. We are going up in the morning to do some shopping and to have a very big lunch (as I'm sure she wont want to eat for a while) then get them fitted and home to sulk, drink tea under a duvet watching TV with as much paracetamol as shes allowed!!!!
Samuel is on a school trip very early in the morning (being picked up at 7 in the morning) to meet up with the children he will be visiting when in Germany next year. I think he will have a fabulous time and it will give him a bit more confidence when he sees them again in February.
Tamsyn unfortunatly has to go to school (that is if she feeling alright.......she claims that she is poorly again). Tamsyn is having a little bit of a hard time agjusting to her new class (class 3 now and in key stage 2 so expected to do a whole lot more). Tamsyn loved her Mrs Young so much and was really sad to leave her. Her new teacher is really lovely but does expect lots of them. I think Tamsyn is in shock hehe.
I plan to write a whole lot more and show lots of pictures of all the patchwork I have been doing. I need to get myself a new sewing machine as I think mine is going to cost too much to service, and for the money I should start with a new machine. I have several pieces to finish in time to decorate my house this Christmas. I left it too late to complete last year and only just thought about it the other day so I must get on with it. Lucy has said that I can borrow her machine in the mean time. When I took them all out of the sewing cupboard, Tanya said that she liked one piece that I was half way through so I would really like to finish and give this to her as part of her Christmas present.
Anyway I must go and get a reasonably early night (after watching Downton Abby.....!) as I have to be up getting Samuel organised in the morning.
