My new boss started work today so I now have a department of two which is exciting however we decided to tackle the pile of archiving still to do......! oh my gosh, such a lot!! I was getting a little bit flustered but help in on it's way now, in the form of proper admin support. An admin lady is turning up on Monday but I think I might sneak into work before this and get a head start! It was awful pulling it all out of the files and realising how much was there! Not a fantastic start to working with Alice, but she had been warned, and luckily I have worked with her before, so we had a good joke about it. Teresa was in as well so we had in the end quite a good if not busy day.
When I got home though the pleasure increased ten fold :-) My massive Christmas Emma Bridgewater parcel turned up - two of them!!!! I am now the proud owner of lots of bowls, side plates and more dinner plates. I also bought a couple more mugs for me and a couple of mugs as presents. The best item though was a six pint jug (I already have flowers in it!) The jug is a second and has a slight smudge on one of the spots on the inside rim which is not fabulous but with the flowers in you cant see it at all - I will just always have to have flowers on the table, such a shame :-) Its already had a wash and is in the cupboards. Its looks amazing and I am in love with it!!!! Once I get Samuel's camera some new batteries or my phone synced with my new computer I will put up some photos. Needless to say I can't wait for breakfast. I'm sure it will taste so much better.
The other fab thing I did today was dye my hair for the first time - only a 28 wash thing and only in chocolate which is near enough my hair colour anyway but I just wanted shinny hair and have tried all sorts and this seems to be the most successful. It has a little hint of red in it that I didn't really want but looks quite nice, and quite shinny.
Poor Emily was the only one to have to go to school this morning. Ben had the day off and when I got home he and Samuel and Tamsyn still had their pyjama's on. They had a really relaxing day watching films and TV and making Samuel's Lego tecnics set he had for Christmas. It's so rare for Ben to have the time to do this and I know that Samuel really loved spending time with him, especially something kind of engineering.
They in the end had to get dressed and have gone off for rugby practise. They have moved the practise to the leisure centre courts as the rugby pitch is full of water due to the horrific weather we have had over the last few days.
I am now going to have to get Tamsyn and Samuel's things ready for school tomorrow and hope we can find everything! Samuel has already told my that he does not have any trainers that fit him!!! Even though we were in the shoe shop yesterday and he didn't mention it! Foolish child ..........
The children are laughing as in 'outnumbered' one of our favourite programs the girl in it is called Karen and she has her 'special bowl' which is just the same - The more we watch it the more similarities between the outnumbered family and our family we make............ some good some not so good hehe very funny though.
