Busy, busy!

Today's been very busy, with lots of driving and rushing about!

Sophie and I had an early start as my daughter had an Orthodontist appointment at 8.30am. We left home at 7.45am to give ourselves plenty of time as the road we normally use is still closed. By some sort of miracle we arrived at the dentist surgery at 8am, before they even opened so I treated Soph to a Costa Coffee and we were still waiting outside the surgery as they didn't open their doors until 8.30am,

Sophie was in the chair for all of thirty seconds, before he said everything was fine and to make another appointment for next August! We dashed back to work before leaving at 9.30am for a meeting with our Accountant to discuss the sale of the business.

It was great to sit and get some advice as I was worried about what would happen to all the accounts and paperwork after we completed. Our Accountant put our minds at rest, though, and the whole procedure seems very straightforward. We just want it to happen now, but I can't see us completing before Christmas, which is only three weeks away!

Just after lunch Sophie and I went home to pick up Keith who was having his bi-annual meet-up with his ex-work mates. We drove him to the Britannia pub on the outskirts of Northampton and then called into the bank and New Look on the way back to work. Sophie bought herself a lovely blue dress to wear over Christmas so that made her happy!

Back at work I actually managed to get some work done before it was time to go and collect my tipsy husband. On the way we called into Next where Sophie managed to buy yet another outfit, so she's really had a good day today!

At the pub we had a drink with Keith, Pat and Tim and then it was time to head home through the rush hour traffic which was terrible. We crawled all the way home to find Mikey wrapped up against the cold lying on the sofa. There were no lights on in the house or any heating in the conservatory!

I made dinner and then it was bliss to light the fire in the living room and snuggle up on the sofa to watch a good old cheesy Christmas film!
