It’s Monday again… How did that happen?!
Been a busy weekend for us. What with Pop’s Birthday and things I knew it would be mad, but certain things you can’t anticipate! I forgot, for a start, that we were meant to be going visiting with the in-laws on Saturday, so my beautifully laid plans for this weekend went out the window!
Then Lil Man went for his first Cricket training… Amd he totally smashed it! The coach was amazed at his leftie bowling talent, and requested he be signed up for the team to play this coming Friday! He was invited for a one to one nets training session on the Sunday, so we duly went to the shops on Sunday morning to kit him up. Whites bought and his first box! How funny!
But cricket trousers come with the hem undone, so I would need to hem them before Friday.
The nets went brilliantly… So brilliantly they asked that he be signed up immediately,and play on Monday, as in tonight!!
No pressure!!!
So, trousers hemmed, kit ready for his first match. Just hope that it doesn’t rain, and the match gets cancelled. He is so excited!
It’s also the last week before half term…
I can always tell we are due a holiday as my energy starts to flag, the kids at home and school start getting rattier and rattier. It hasn’t helped that I forgot my Vitamin D tablets recently, and I’ve been flaking out so early in the evenings.
But…
I have a little secret…
I can’t be more specific at the moment. But needless to say, these holidays are going to be a week to remember for a very positive reason!
It may mean I am a little indisposed for few days, challenge entire may be delayed, but they will be done!
I’m so excited!
And I’ll share very soon!!!
Have a wonderful Monday Peeps!
But I Smile Anyway...

I see it in some movies and TV shows, but only when there’s an American that needs to be confused about the culture. So that’s probably where most of us are over here. We know it exists and accept that we’ll never understand.

Sis, I take a deep bow! You are so busy but still take the time to share your business with us. And it is wonderful with what you were busy! Congratulations to Lil Man. I am so happy for another big success! That again will give him so much after the struggles with SAT. So happy for my talented nephew! And I cannot wait to hear more about your holidays! Sounds already very exciting 😄

Lol!!!!
Well he was so close on a couple of occasions, to be selected for the England U19’s team, when he played for Warwickshire, and injury to his back prevented that.
Now he’s back into the spirt, here’s hoping he gets the recognition he deserves!!!
We are a cricket family so Lil Mans talent is definitely something to celebrate!
His Daddy was also a player, with Gravesham, and has been Asked to start again.
So less Soccer Mom, and more Cricket Mother/Widow, possibly!!!!
Lil Man’s match got cancelled yesterday due to traffic and no one being able to arrive at the pitch!So training tonight and a small tournament on Friday to sort out now!!
