Back to school they go!

Today was the childrens first day back at school ~ the pictures are of them both this morning ~ all dressed in their new uniforms and ready to go!!

They both have great teachers this year and have had a nice day ~ they both had so much to tell me when I picked them up this afternoon ~ it was a bit hard to take it all in (ha ha !!) ~ I think that I got it all though!!

In true British weather form ~ the skies opened just as we were on the school run ~ making the drive to school VERY interesting (the wind screen wipers couldn't go any faster!!) ~ it stopped for a bit and then promptly started again when I was on the way back to the car!! Thank god for my rain jacket ~ very unflattering ~ but who cares ~ it kept me semi dry!!

I haven't got as much to do tonight ~ just packed lunches ~ so I won't be standing ironing for 2 hours tonight (thank goodness!!!).

I have just been to get weighed and this week I have lost 2 pounds ~ bringing the total lost to 3 stone and 10 pounds. Another 4 pounds and I will have lost 4 stone ~ I am quite pleased with that!! Only another 2 to go now!!

I have about half of Breaking Dawn left to read and so far I have been unable to put it down ~ it is just wonderful!! Part of me wants to rush through and read as fast as I can ~ to find out what happens in the end ~ but another part wants to read slowly ~ as this is the last book in the series and I don't want it to end!!

I am at the bank in the morning ~ so wish me luck ~ I will let you know how it all goes and hopefully come Saturday we will have the new car!! XXXX
