1. What does this festive weekend have in store for you?
My brother, sister-in-law, nephew and my sister-in-law’s mum are arriving for the Christmas week. So we’ll be having food together tonight.
Tomorrow our gym does a big workout together in the theme of 12 days of christmas (like the song, start with 1, then 2,1, 3,2,1…12,11,10,9…3,2,1) so we all get together wearing overtly Christmas things. Ive never managed to make it because I’ve worked each Saturday I’ve been a member of the gym until this year.
Then we’re popping into to say hello to Emma’s school friends before an evening of games. Then Sunday I’m not sure.
All so long as we’re not heading towards the hospital…
