I've been a bit naughty this month. I had my first decent pay after maternity leave so decided to treat myself to some sticker goodness. I don't have to feel too guilty as planner stickers are reasonably priced and you can use as many or few as you like.
I've already bought some more for October, but that's another post!
Big girl's school was very sensible and kept the Roald Dahl dress up say until now. We haven't read much Roald Dahl together, and have only covered Charlie and the Children Factory, so our character choice was from there. We went with Violet Beauregard, and mummy made a golden ticket. She loved it.
Today was madam's first day at school! I say day, but they like to ease them in so really it was two hours.
She was so excited. Her 'session' didn't start until 1pm, but from 630 this morning she was asking to go (that enthusiasm won't last).
As they all do, Ella looked adorable and too grown up in her uniform, complete with large blue bruise on her forehead from a fall yesterday. We walked into her class and she was straight off to the painting with barely a glance in my direction!
Afterwards, we went and had Costa as a 'first day' treat.
They grow so quickly!!
At the beginning of the month I won a box from a new, UK based, subscription box, The Stationery Geekette on etsy. Boxes are £15 plus postage and include a book and at least three other items sourced from independent sellers. Subscribers are allocated a 'house' with a list of photo challenges and points awarded. Today my box arrived.
Naughty Royal Mail had apparently had a fight with my box but never mind. All items were still there.
The book was Alice by Christina Henry and will be coming with me to work tonight. I also received a book mark, pen, postcard, snitch charm and stickers which will be going in my planner.
I can't wait to read the book and look forward to seeing what's lined up next for the box club!
Love these stickers from AdorkableStickers stickers on etsy. These are Big Bang Theory and Firefly themed. I also have Muppets to use at a later date.
It's happened. I have returned to the world of work! My poor brain was going fuzzy and I woke up singing songs from musical toys!
This return to work has been more stressful than the first as Rosalind still wakes twice a night which is an extra thing for Marcus to contend with. Luckily she happy take bottles and so far, goes to bed better for him than me!
Another change is that having returned to roller derby, I'm not sure it's for me right now, at least I the team's current format. If they start a rec league then maybe. I just don't have the time with two little ones right now!!
