Emboldened by two successful trips to London last week and driven slightly mad by the continuing state of my house, I decided to hotfoot it in to town for the Fuzzy and Friends Christmas party. We left early so we could do a little park playing and a little shopping before boogieing down. I dressed Miss A in a Santa suit and Istyboo in an elf suit to ensure appropriate levels of festivity.
I will tell you now that I spent nearly five hours in the car today doing the round trip 60 miles. Who doesn't love driving in the UK? I was well and truly M25'd (thank you Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett for enlightening me why).
As I had plenty of time for thinking, it made me realise that my new year's resolution for 2013 has got to be to meet local mums. It's really hard to leave a fantastic network like the one I had in SE22, but I need to build a new one here unless I buy enough BP shares to offset my petrol expenditure!
One and a half days until the decorators go for Christmas. They still have another week of work to do, but we have mutually agreed that it will take place when we are away for a week. Repeating my mantra - "it will all be beautiful... it will all be beautiful... it will all be beautiful..."
