Flexible working

 I had my request for flexible working turned down this morning.  I want to drop the days in the week in the office down from 3 to 1.  I am livid.

Christmas concerts

 We had two Christmas concerts at school yesterday, one for all children in years 3 and up, and the second one for kids that do extra music lessons or are in a choir.  There was an hour gap in between (not sure why) and it over ran by 35 mins.  So we didn't get back till 7:45.  I was 50 mins late for my d&d session.




Arthur had to sit through it, beginning


at the end


Another present

 Squishy d20.





It came with a free plastic duck


New Bauble

My new Metallica bauble arrived yesterday and looks great on the tree in the front room.






Not quite so idilic

 Yesterday's dog walk didn't go quite to plan.  It was sunny when I left the house and I had my sunglasses on.  It absolutely hammered it down 15 mins into the 1h walk.  Urgh.

Chicken pot pie

I made chicken pot pie for 10 on Sunday. 




Dog tired

 Arwen on the sofa last night.  Shattered!

Cold but fun

 It was cold yesterday morning but the kids had a lot of fun.





Another win

 TJs 3s played Gravesend on Saturday and we got another win.  My minis coach friend Ben played his first game in nearly 20 years!  He did only make 10 mins though!





Productive

 Given the cold weather we decided to bring my chilli plant indoors,  It's probably the most productive plant that i've ever had.





Friday was productive

 WE took Arthur's old bed apart (and sold it on Facebook) and made his new cabin style bed in one day.  What was most impressive was the fact we didn't argue whilst doing it!  Athur loves his bed.  So does Flo.  They made a den underneath.
