Couldn't resist a collage! Having had Megan for a couple of days while Mollie was left at home, I had to make up for it to Mollie somehow. The Elf on a Shelf from USA, bought back for me by the friend of the mother of a colleague! Mollie has so wanted one and has been feeling very left out as he cousin and best friend both have one. An early Christmas present was in order, especially as there is still a week to go, so enough time for the family to come up with some clever elf antics. As you can see she was delighted!

This afternoon, off to Dartford for Sarah's 21st birthday meal. It's a long time since we have been to a Beefeater and to be honest, it will be a long time before I repeat the experience. 2' courses and birthday cake and it all took 3 hours! Nice to spend time with Liam and catch up though, he is maturing and seems more calm and comfortable with himself.
