It's been a busy week since my last post. Hussein & Kaizer are back from their hols. It's nice to have the family all back together.
But that also meant returning to work!! I had to attend a course on Monday at the Teacher Training Centre but had Tuesday off with the kids. Of course, because Hussein & Kaizer had been away, that meant a last minute shopping spree! Luckily, not clothes, but spent over £30 just on new pens & pencils & cases. Phew!!
Wednesday was Imran's first day in Juniors. I admit I was a little tearful because I feel he's growing up so fast so suddenly. He looked so smart in his blazer & tie. Here he is holding up the sign for his new class.
Hussein & Kaizer then returned to school the next day. So now begins the endless circle of sandwich making, school runs, making sure the pe kit is packed etc etc.
On Saturday I went to a sleepover!! Yes I know it sounds a bit odd especially as it's usually a teenage girl thing. But hey it was great fun. I got together with my girlfriends at Rashida's weekend home - a fab new flat right on the beach at Shoeburyness. There was 9 of us ..Mehz & Nabila couldn't make it. We had such a laugh but I didn't have my camera so no pictures. We just lazed around the flat chatting, laughing, eating & drinking & eating some more, watching a Bollywood movie. Finally went to sleep around 3-4 and up again at 8.30. Had a lazy breakfast out on the decking watching the tide come in. It was so relaxing with the sun on your face watching the jet skis out in the water. Of course we had to eat some more so had bhel puri & pani puri. That was the perfect end to a lovely weekend. Here's to our next sleepover!!
