Hi there! Long time no see!
Things have been very busy here over the past few weeks. I haven't quite got through the woods yet but am making headway so I thought I'd update you all on some of what's been happening.
Big news is that I've been offered a new job! Hoorah! It's a super opportunity with a brilliant national charity and should give me a great work/life balance. I will hopefully be starting in the next few weeks :-)
J and I are also in the process of trying to sell our house. We've had lots of viewings but no offers yet. The whole thing is pretty stressful as it raises questions about finances, our priorities as a family, finding a house to meet our needs, as well as having keep the house constantly tidy incase a viewer needs to come round in 5 minutes. The desire to get our house sold has a bigger sense of urgency than in previous weeks as we've found somewhere we'd like to buy. I've already decorated bits of it in my head and will be really disappointed if we don't get it but I'll have to trust that if it's not meant to be ours it's because something better will be coming along.
Amidst the requirement for a permanently tidy house we did however find time to throw O her first birthday party! Argh she's a whole year old! Despite her not realising it was her birthday, it was a good excuse to see family and friends as well as bake and consume an AMAZING owl shaped chocolate birthday cake. We also took a trip to the park where O spent an enjoyable hour on the swings. This was followed by the quickest party tidy up ever as of course we had a viewer who could only see the house in an hours time...
Team all this stuff with lots of time with family and friends, a camping/caravanning break, picnics and 3 birthday parties and it's fair to say that there hasn't felt like much time to blog.
I promise not to leave it so long next time!
