Today I’ve had a day off, which was nice.

I had to fetch Euan back from nursery for the first time too and it was a bit embarrassing as I was having to ask what happened next, and which way round the school to go to get to the classroom (there are rules, you know). Anyway, it was nice to see Euan coming out all happy and smiley, but with green paint in his hair! Ever since he’s been going to his new school everything’s been a secret, but he’s now beginning to divulge what he gets up to and who he’s been playing with.

The main task for today has been to build the shelves we bought from Ikea last Saturday. Here’s one unpacked:

and here it is 20 minutes later!

Such a difference from the shopping experience at Ikea! We’d got there early, managed to get Euan into the play area whilst we went to shop which was a huge help. I was okay for about half an hour and then slowly but surely my blood pressure started to rise and almost lost it when I struggled to get the trolley free from the rack. Anyway, it was a nice Christmas present from my mum and we got to have the Swedish meatballs and chips for our lunch!
