it's 5 down to 4 as we leave Conor with Stacey for another day/night and we head up to Kingston. So whilst they go ice-skating and bod around by the sea....we get another chance to do a bit of shopping (and sneak in more mulled wine at their Christmas market!) whilst Millie stays with Maddie and plays :-)
Always good to go back to Kingston and see Katy & Wayne and the girls! Don't seem to have any pics though of you guys to post......think our only stop where we missed out.........too busy getting the wine out!!!!
John Lewis..................shopped for England.........we are NOW ready for Christmas......looking back I'm not sure where we were in all this shopping time.....I didn't even get a chance to get to M&S!!!!! Anyway got so carried away in John Lewis we didn't get chance to go anywhere else.......but couldn't miss a quick drink although meant we missed the carol concert at the church on the street we used to live.....thankfully Katy and Wayne took Millie with them which she absolutely loved.......particularly the mince pies at the end :-)
So once all kids in bed - time to eat, drink and be merry!!!!! Shame Ruby seems to have started a new habit......waking up in the early hours :-( not a good one given we not back at home for another 2 weeks.......so milk, cuddle and back to sleep it is! Although I think at this point I hadn't yet realised this was the solution so was up for at least an hour.......freezing cold (-10 outside!) and not feeling the christmas spirit!!!!!!
All was fine by the morning and had a lie-in until gone 8am!! Shaun decided to work from "home" - whoever/wherever we happen to be!!!! ( think more the case that I don't think he trusted me to drive up the M1 with potentially more snow on it's way!!!!!) suited me fine as meant an extra pair of hands to load kids and bags, coats etc etc etc etc in and out of the car!!!!!!! Conor arrives back with Stacey and so off we trot - next stop Harpenden :-)
