Molly and i were at Disneys Worlds of Enchantment on Ice in Manchester, we had such a great time and i will write about it soon, as i have lots of pictures, but since we changed to windows 10 the other week i can't seem to transfer my pictures to the laptop, so Paul is going to work on sorting it out for me tomorrow.
Winter is definitely starting to kick in around here now, its really starting to get cold and the coldest day seemed to be Thursday when i had to make numerous trip to school to take the kids, collect them, then take the back for the Halloween disco, then collect them again, typical! The really strange thing is that i keep getting this Christmas feeling, like today we went and did the shopping and after we got some chips from the chippy and it all of sudden felt like we were doing the Christmas shopping, i suppose its because the nights are drawing in and we have the lights on in the evening and the last couple of days in the morning and as its not actually that far off i have been doing some present shopping. Yesterday i ordered quite a bit off Amazon, then realised that with half term the kids will be in when they are delivered, at least Amazon package them up well and i will try to use last years excuse that its bulk delivery's of wool!!!
I have not really had much time to work on Pauls jumper the last two weeks, but the body is finished and nearly one sleeve so just another sleeve and the collar to go, he had booked his ticket for the preview of the new Star Wars movie and is keen for me to finish it, so better get on with it.
Molly went to the illuminations with the Rainbows on Monday and i tool the boys along as well, again pictures coming soon! She wore the rainbows hat the i crocheted earlier in the year and it seemed quite popular with a few orders so i guess its that time when i will start to get busy making hats again, which is something i love and the last couple of years it has really helped with the cost of Christmas, which as you can imagine with four kids is not cheap!
At the moment i am busy helping to arrange a Halloween event in the local wood and i will be doing some face painting, which i think i am getting quite good at now, i did Mollys face for the disco and she looked super scary as a scary doll, i wanted to do something really scary but had to remember it was a kids disco!
I have finally have a diagnosis for the bad back/hip problem i have been suffering with for years, the bad news is it isn't really something they can fix but i am going to have some sort of injection that can manage the pain, i really hope it works as it will be nice to have a break from it, i keeping thinking about the bed i slept in in the hotel where Molly and i stayed, it was really soft and i thought, oh god i won't be getting any sleep tonight!, but i did, and i keep remembering how comfy it was, it was the first day in years where i have not woke up really stiff and in pain, i think the staff thought i was mad telling them how wonderful it was, i will have to see if we can stay there again.
Better get back to work now as i am busy advertising gala events for the next few months and have some posters to do, think i put more effort into my volunteer work than i ever did in any paid job i have had, but its something i really love doing and i am sure when the kids are a bit older i will get the job i know i would really love and hopefully all this will stand me in good stead.
Bye for now xx
