There’s only a few more days left of my leave, and I’m really not looking forward to going back to work next week.

Even though, I feel like I’ve done nothing much other than clean the house and swim with the kids, I’ve really enjoyed being at home. And this is HUGE for me. I’m normally chomping at the bit by now and needing to escape the kids.

I still have so much to do this week… go shopping with Elaine (hopefully tomorrow)… go plant shopping (highly unlikely now)… organise a beauty salon session (hopefully on Friday)… filing (ja right, it’s soooo hot upstairs during the day not sure if this will get done)… some other paperwork (I’d better get cracking on it)… and I’m sure there was more stuff.

I’ve had an expensive week so far though. Why is that you only realise that you need a new vacuum cleaner and mops when the maid goes on leave? Huh? That was Sunday’s expense.
Then I had to get Bradley’s stationery and school uniform… holy moly that was expensive – R960 for 4 golf t-shirts, 4 shorts, a jersey and a hat! Oh well, it had to be done… I still have to get his tracksuits though. Thankfully I got the shoes, socks and windbreaker at Woolies before Christmas.

As for New Years Eve tomorrow, we’re having friends over for a braai (BBQ). It’ll be very quiet, but nice because it’ll be the last New Year’s we spend with them, they’re emigrating to New Zealand next year.
