Christmas eve-eve

I think I'm ready for Christmas.

Not that I've had to do too much this year as we're off to Dave's mums for Christmas day then my parents for Boxing day and the following few days. I was going to work on Christmas Eve, but it seems pretty pointless as the people who were at work today were on a go slow. I'd prefer not to do anything than do something slowly.

I told the nursery tonight that Seb wouldn't be joining then tomorrow, which apparently leaves their numbers at 3 children which I imagine will be very quiet (especially as my noisy boy wont be there!!) I asked Seb today what he wanted to do instead and he asked to go to the beach. So tomorrow morning, on Christmas Eve i will take him to Lepe.

I think he has an amazing memory, far better than mine and definitely much better than his fathers. The weekend before last when we were in Scotland we told the children that we were going to the Beach - but at some point during the walk we changed our minds and went to the petting zoo instead (for some light petting, there were children around!) Although we told the little ones, Seb was not happy about the decision and wasn't afraid to let me know but by then it was too late and we were nearly back at Jules and Scott's house. Since then he has asked several times when we are going to go to the beach and i have put him off (y'know in that frankly annoying parenty manner "we'll go the beach..... soon") so i guess it's the least i can do. Besides I love Lepe. It's my 'running away' place - and it would be nice to make it my 'running to' place.... not that I actually intend actually running there.

Speaking of running, on monday I ran for 20 mins. One giant step for Tara and all that. I'm chuffed, it nearly killed me but I did it and am being proud of myself. Think I may make that into my New years resolution, just need to get the first holiday out of the way before thinking of the next one!!
