A NEW YEARS EVE TO REMEMBER

Feeling more human now and able to write more than a couple of lines....... Amazing what 7 hours solid sleep can do!!

PARTYTIME

Just to share some of the hilarity we had on NYE......
Started early with the usual what to wear dilemma, luckily I had Becca home and she could give me some sound advice.
Arrived with everyone else, good timing , and we were served a delicious champagne cocktail which went down far too easily. For the meal Ian and i had devised a "challenge " game that involved doing a task that was a secret and had to be done throughout the meal... for example , break into song, keep saying OMG thats hilarious, keep making toasts, Keep talking about how much better Hogmany is in Edinburgh, etc, etc. That was very amusing to watch as we knew what everyone had to do. We then had to try and guess each others which most of us did!!
we then had to swap our worst presents game, that was also HILARIOUS. Lots of mankinis there, picture to follow......
MIdinght was much hugging kissing and singing, followed by a few reels, stripping the willow and an eightsome . Then passing an orange down the line under our chins, i laughed so much... well lets just say I need to do my pelvic floor exercises .

A tricky but fun pictionary game and a sort of murder game finished us off and took us through till 3.15. We then walked home which was lovely, birds were singing... why is that ?? it was pitch dark !!!

LET THE HOLIDAYS COMMENCE

Finished work today for a couple of weeks, God i LOVE my term time contract!!

Started off well as was supposed to be doing the breast feeding workshop but not many turned up so I didn't need to attend....HORAAAH!! Had 3 post natal visits to do and 2 out of 3 doing well. Last lady was struggling with milk supply and the baby was hungry, just 3 days old but milk slow in coming in. Chatted to her about giving some formula as I was worried about the baby getting dehydrated. Don't like doing that as i feel it affects the mothers confidence and can be downhill all the way to formula feeding . we decided to wait another day to see if milk would come in next few hours, fingers crossed.

PRE CHRISTMAS BUGS

Poor old Joseph has been poorly for several days with a fever. He always throws off a MASSIVE temp for quite a few days before a cold comes out. He has done that since he was a teeny baby, not so scary now but so pleased that he seems to be thru it tho he is shattered from it. Tried to go for a sleep over this evening but was home again 2 hrs later.... Hope thats the end of it though.

PARTY TIME

A small surge of social stuff, dinner party here tomorrow, gonna do smoked haddock lasagne. we do a secret santa which is always a bit of a larf , I have got a mankini for the boy who picks mine!! then a cocktail party no less for one of Becca's friends on friday night and almost forgot the Christmas breakfast here on friday morn.
