Today's ramblings

After dropping Little Prince off at school this morning, I went to the nearest town to get some shopping done. I needed some more things for my Secret Buddy which I need to post this week, so that was fairly urgent!! Luckily I found everything I wanted and have now almost assembled my package and will definitely have it posted in time :-)

I also managed to get some bits and pieces for Christmas!! Saw some small toys that will appeal to Little Prince so they are now safely hidden away. I'll have to make sure I remember to wrap them up too, I don't want to end up with tonnes to wrap on Christmas Eve!! Which is what usually happens, and then to top it all off I usually run out of sellotape or wrapping paper too!! I'm determined to be more organised this year!! I've managed it before, when Drama Teen had a major operation just before Christmas, and I was completely organised before we went into hospital - just in case there were complications and she wasn't allowed home. It was a close thing, but we were allowed home in time :-) But I still remember the sense of satisfaction (and total smugness!!) that I was organised and ready for Christmas by early December!!

This afternoon I spent hours researching prices for a short break at Disneyland Paris!! My best friend saw a Special Offer (Kids go Free) for the 15th Anniversary of its opening, and suggested we take Little Prince for a few days. Trouble is its me that has to do all the poking around on the internet and trying to co-ordinate travel etc. But I managed it in the end and I'm just waiting to hear what she says!!! Look out Mickey we'll be seeing you soon :-)
