Friday night I was out for work drinks. There are no pictures, be glad!
On Saturday, I got up and out of the house to meet Ma, Laura and Oli. We were off to see ‘Room on the Broom’. Oli was great up until he wasn’t. The tantrum was so bad that we had to leave.

We went for a walk to the restaurant and Oli was at turns delightful and absolutely horrible. He was just having a bad day. Once we got to eat, Oli was much better and decided to be delightful, he even followed me to the ladies, mostly because he wanted to flush the toilet. He’s three, he likes pushing buttons. He doesn’t like the hand dryers though.

Ma thought that Oli might like to see the tree in Trafalgar Square. We decided that a walk from Aldwych down Strand was probably going to lead to another Oli meltdown and got a cab.

We arrived in Trafalgar Square as Santacon was happening.



Oli was quite amused by all the strangers giving him sweets! I tried in vain to get a photo of Ma, Laura and Oli, that resulted in Oli telling me to “be quiet”.

I gave it up and we went home. I did say back in November that Oli after three weeks in a row of Aunty Nic and Grandma, he would either be delightful or bloody and it seems that it was mostly bloody!

Home and I was supposed to be getting ready for the Grace Christmas party. I confess, I fell asleep and woke up at just gone 8pm!

I broke out the red lipstick and I got to the party and just in time for the secret santa!

Sunday was an errands day and now it’s Monday and back to work for the last week before Christmas! I’ve planned this week to mostly be at work or at home because I have so much to do, I still haven’t written any Christmas cards!
