Blogiversary coming soon!

On Thursday, it will be my 1 Year Blogiversary and I've got a couple of surprises planned, so please drop by and check it out!!

 

And for those of you at the beginning of your blogging journey, I encourage you to check out this great post by Creative Playground.

I'm thankful

Although Thanksgiving is not celebrated in the various parts of the world that I have lived, I saw this linky and thought that being thankful is something that everyone can (and indeed should) have as part of their lives. So first of all, thank you to Primary Powers for hosting this link up!

What are you thankful for?

November Currently

My blogging habits are truly dreadful at the moment, but I somehow feel if I manage to join Oh' Boy 4th Grade's Currently (albeit a week late!) then I haven't completely given up!!

Listening - Friends (series 9), I've watched this so many times that its even been in my Currently before!

Loving - We started back on Wednesday, so I've only had 3 working days! Though its a crazy 7 weeks of term before the Christmas break...

Thinking - It may have been a slight 'honeymoon' period after half-term, but my crazy class of Year 1s are finally appearing to have settled down (fingers crossed for next week!)

Wanting - Another week's break to recover from the fantastic, but incredibly busy half-term I've just had! Below are a couple of my highlights from my 10 days in Sydney.

Needing - To make a start on making my Christmas cards. While I was away the Christmas patterns arrived so I'm very excited!

Reading - Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. I usually like fantasy books, but this one seems a little slow paced. I read 3 books on the plane home though, so there wasn't much choice on my kindle!

Don't keep calm

I'm off to Sydney for 10 days, its been a long 8 week half-term, topped off with United Nations Day celebration today (let's feed the kids loooooads of sugar) so I'm off for a complete relaxation! 

Things to look forward to

It is Monday and I refuse to be depressed at the beginning of a working week, so....

10 Things to look forward to

1. I've booked my flights home to the UK for Christmas for a proper English Christmas (what are my chances for snow?!)
2. I've accepted my friend's wedding invitation for December since now I'll be back 
3. I bought myself 4 new nail polishes yesterday just because, and so I have lots of fun pedicures to come
4. October SLANTbox Exchange
5. new episode of Downton Abbey to watch
6. after tomorrow morning, I'll be done with all my parent meetings
7. lots of new books downloaded onto my kindle ready for when I finish my current series
8. no staff meeting tomorrow!
9. it's exactly 1 month until my 1 year blogiversary!

and...
   
     10. In 4 more 'sleeps' it will be half-term and I'm going to Sydney!!! I cannot wait!
