Making Memories....

I have just spent the last 4 days in Ireland making memories. I had a brilliant time but it was, once again, just too short. I got to spend loads of time with dad, got to see some friends, got to go Christmas shopping and got to visit family. Amazing what you can do in such a short time!! 

Now I am back in Denmark again after a long day of travelling. I am just about to head to bed! Everything went smoothly on the journey home, I was a bit worried I would have to pay for extra baggage but luckily my bag was just under the 20kg!! PHEW!!!! 

The video below shows some of the memories.....

Dad was Joseph in a play at his church on Sunday evening. He sang a solo - I think he did a great job! Proud of you dad!! You have an amazing voice - now why didn´t I get some of my Dad´s singing talent! I would gladly give up my good looks for that!! hahahaha


Want to hear him sing - well click below:-)

A message from me.....

A quick update....

I honestly don´t know where this week is going!! Every day has been packed filled with things to do and I have been on the go from from early morning to late at night. I can see that I am achieving alot - the list is getting smaller and smaller so that´s a good thing!

This week we got our Chrismas tree up in work. The school has a couple of Christmas trees in the corridors but we always like one out in the area where we sit and have our breaks. Unfortunately there isn´t room for a tree but where there is a will there is a way........

 Yes the tree got hung from the ceiling! Cool eh? 


My boss and colleague had to get up on the table to decorate the tree! 

 Ahhh the boys did a great job!

Last week my friend Rhona had a birthday but we both were so busy that we didn´t have time to celebrate together. We made up for it this week. We met up Monday afternoon and the celebrating began! 

We had a lovely afternoon, even though we both were tired. We had the most delicious desserts! Ate far too much as usual.

Getting ready for Christmas is hard work, although my husband doesn´t seem to think so!! I wonder why??? I am so tired! I have been going to bed far too late and getting up far too early. I have only tomorrow and Friday at work and then it´s holiday. Thank goodness I can finally get to sleep long!


Today I remembered to get to the butcher and order the ham for our Christmas dinner! Now that I am looking forward to!! 


The house is also nearly all organised. Just got the hall cupboard to clear out, our office (or really it´s Kristian´s racing room) to clear out and then our wardrobe to sort and that´s the whole house cleared out in every room! Phew!! 


It has been another long but good day. Now I am going to head off to bed!  Night all talk again soon xox

Just a little too busy....

....my days are flying by. I think I am a little too busy! But thankfully I am not stressed, just busy, so I suppose that is ok!! 


This week, just like all the other weeks, has flown by. Wednesday I was out visiting my friend Genny. We haven´t seen each other in about 8 months so there was lots of catching up to do.


Thursday Leah´s choir held their Christmas concert. Leah was singing and Kristian was playing the sax so I had to go along and support them both. It was a great evening! Loads of gospel and loads of rocking in our seats! I just couldn´t sit still!! haha My hands were sooo sore by the end of the evening from all the clapping.


Now it´s weekend and we have a busy weekend ahead, but it should be fun! Tomorrow Kristian and I are going Christmas shopping. Hopefully we will get everything bought then!  I also have a quick trip to the hairdressers so I will be a new improved woman tomorrow! Then it´s home to sort out some more cupboards in this house, attack the big pile of laundry and then clean from top to bottom!


On Sunday I have Sunday School so sometime tomorrow evening I will be preparing my lesson. On Sunday Kristian has a big concert to play at, yet again with a gospel choir, so he will be away most of the day. 


I have only this week left at work! 5 working days then it´s holiday! Next Friday evening we are holding our Christmas dinner and so since I am in the committee that is arranging it I have a lot of last minute things to take care off. I know this week is just going to fly by!! 

The 6th December - ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELP!!! this month is just going by too fast!


I have only 8 more working days left and then I am off for Christmas holiday. It can´t come quickly enough. I am soooo looking forward to being off. 


I am just in a Christmas mood 24 hours a day (I am driving Kristian bananas!!)  Even though I LOVE being in a Christmas mood it makes it really hard to work, all I want to do is get ready for Christmas. I especially want to get my house ready. It needs the normal holiday season clear out! We hoard so much! Everything is falling out of the cupboards yet again! Anyway enough about that.


So my weekend went by so fast. Friday evening we were down at our old church for a get together. It was wonderful seeing old friends again. Everyone brought something for the buffet table and we had a great evening catching up with each other.




Saturday found me out Christmas shopping with my friend Audry. It was our traditional Christmas shopping day. We usually take a day off work and go out shopping but since I had no holidays left we didn´t have much choice, we had to make it a Saturday, and so it was just this last Saturday that we continued our tradition for the 5th year in a row! We had a great day!


We left home at 9.30am and drove to a big shopping centre in Copenhagen. We were there for the shops opening at 10am! We left at 5pm when the shops closed! (They literally had to throw us out! haha)  The day just flew by! Even though we had been walking around for all  day we decided that we would stop by Ikea on the way home. It was open until 8pm. Audry and I LOVE Ikea so we decided to make the most of our day!

There was only one slight problem, I was driving and I am hopeless at finding my way!! How would I get to Ikea from the shopping centre, when I had forgotten my GPS??! I had driven before to Ikea from this direction, but that had been a very long time ago in the brightness of day. Could I remember the way? Well the answer to that is easy - NO I COULDN`T!!


I made my first mistake just driving out of the shopping centre. Suddenly I was lost!! We found ourselves in a housing estate which had not been there when we drove into the shopping centre. How did I get there? We turned around and found the right road. 


Then we started our journey to Ikea. It seemed like things were going well, but before I knew it I was in the middle of this town north of Ikea!!!!?? How did that happen? We turned around and headed to a place called Buddinge. We couldn´t remember ever seeing that name near Ikea, so once again we turned around.


We then saw a sign for a place called Virum, now that rang a bell, so we followed that, but yet again we got lost. Once more we turned around but then we saw a motorway sign for a town close to Ikea. We followed the sign unto the motorway and suddenly we were on the road that we take on our way HOME from Ikea! Aaaarggghhhhhhhhh - we didn´t want to go home just yet! 
But we couldn´t turn, we were on the motorway so we had to keep going. It seemed like miles and miles went by before we could finally turn off the motorway and get unto the right side. Finally we arrived at IKEA!!! We were soooo happy to see that Ikea sign! Needless to say we had a great laugh about it all!




After Ikea we had a quick trip over to McDonalds for a cheesburger. You can´t go to Ikea without going to McDonalds!! At 9.30pm I was home. It was a great day. I didn´t get much Christmas shopping done, but I sure had a lot of fun.


Sunday - was our day of rest! A well deserved rest after those hours of shopping! haha

Christmas is in the air......

The 1st of December amd that means decorating the house for Christmas. Leah and I got stuck into it this evening and ended up with a cosy wee living room! Now only the Christmas tree to buy nearer the time and the Christmas shopping to get done! Yikes - I haven´t even started!!
