fighting the power!!!!

today i will mostly be fighting the power from the comfort of my home! Mia is also home as her teachers are on strike so we've decided to fight the power by putting up our christmas trees and visiting friends. Have read so many ignorant comments on facebook about how people's day is being affecting by the strike that i ended up getting on my soap box, can feel my blood boiling!!! they'd have enough to say if their pension pots were raided to pay for the govt/bankers deficit, i also thought that mp's were civil servants, so how come their pensions are not affected!!! ggrrrr rant over!
everything is fine babywise, my wedding and engagement ring are getting a little tight and my fingers look a  little chubby, so have been told to keep an eye on it, other than that we're all doing well. probably not helped by the fact that i had a ling parents evening last night, and with 5 classes i didnt stop for a second. at one point the girls started opening windows around me as apparently i was turning a rather fetching purple colour, which worried them. I got home about half past 7, where huw had cooked fajitas for me and i slumped for the rest of the night, and a lie in this morning means i feel fresh as a dasiy!! Mia is writing her letter to santa which is probably a good thing as i've already orchestrated a reply! so here's to the assembly of the trees. guarantee Mia will get bored half way through decorating the first one and i'll be left to sort it all out!!!
