Cat rescue!!

had a cat that's bern hanging round our (and a could neighbours') house for weeks now, comes in through the cat flap and eating Ambers food, doesn't seem to have a home. So anyway, took into the vets this morning and there is a microchip but it's never been registered to an address, do idea where it lives. It's a pure bread rag doll which are expensive and only 3 or so yrs old.
Anyway, vet is going to ring round local vets and try find its home.

In other news, getting on with a few bits I needed to get done. Cleaned the car, just needs a vac which won't get done be I'm afraid.
Bought miles a new back pack for the plane and Greta a colouring book.

Had miles' graduation ceremony and oh my, what a ceremony! Mayor of the hills was there, MP Phillip Ruddock attended and many other's.. Very impressed.

Had my endo check up and all clear 😀😀 18 months cancer free now. Dropping back to 6 monthly tests now. Do next due to go in June next year.

Just got my hair appointment and miles' OT appointment and we're good to go!
 2 days to go!

We'll be in England next week!

4 days to go until we fly out of the country!
And I keep thinking to myself "next week we will be in England" sounds so weird as we've not been back for 5 yrs. Greta was just a baby last time and Miles just 2.

We will have a week in Thailand, Sweden & Finland before arriving in the UK.
I kind of just want to get there now but I know I'll enjoy the snow and Lapland with the kids, especially the reindeer rides and sled rides.
But another part of me just wants to get to england asap.. I have 5 weeks there though so will be great,

After the last 2 weeks dragging, this week is flying, which is great.. Just have lots of little bits and bobs to do, doesn't matter if we don't get them done.. But hopefully I'll grtthe chance to put the washing away and clean out /empty the fridge before we go.

Anyway, will be on our way before you know it.

Seems odd as I've not bought a single gift, nor put up a decoration, but no point as we won't be her. I've made a list of gifts to buy over there for Christmas pressies,

This yr miles is getting:
Monopoly empire
Game of life
Downfall
Electric toothbrush 

Greta is getting;
Fur-real monkey
Elsa on skates
A barbie 
Electric toothbrush 

J wants 2 x shirts

I've asked for slippers 

Mum & dad:
Joking gifts with my sister 

Nana soaps

Nephews
$$

Greta had her ballet concert on Sunday, was good, she loved it but way too late, and we left at the interval!
Miles' graduation to go to on Wednesday - my day off, going to get my hair cut too and my Endo appointment.

Thursday is work Xmas lunch so hoping to leave after that around 2pm and miles' ot appointment and we'll pop to the towers for a couple bits I want to buy.

Then Friday im off to a meeting in warriewood, before leaving at 3.30 and heading home to finish the packing...

1 week tomorrow!!!

It's a week tomorrow until we leave for our 6 week trip to Europe and honestly, I just can't be bothered.. Kids have had a vomit virus, j is off sick today, I've not been 100% although s state of mind is most likely responsible for 80% of that!
But I just want to get going now... It's so close now and its 5 years since I've been back home, I just want to get going!
Struggling with day to day things, all seems so tedious when this awesome trip is so close..

A few things to look forward to though to keep us occupied.
They've all come in this last week though so rather than packing I'm rushed off my feet!
We have Greta's bsllet rehearsal and concert, a birthday party, a yr 1 graduation ceremony, Drs (endo)  visit for me, usual swimming and piano and ballet classes, and my hair appointment.
Plus need to get the packing sorted.
Oh and miles' ot session.

I'm working until 4pm next Friday and then wang to go get dinner out as I don't want to start doing dishes etc the night before we fly out.. Run leave home at 8am sat morning to fly to Thailand!

Got the cat sorted, a neighbour will come feed her and pick up post and house sit.

Just 8 days to go! 4 working days left... Arghhhh hurry up already!
