Ella is still a major cause of worry for us. More meetings. More decisions. But not enough action. But I've got a huge update about that early next month and I cannot go over old ground, we just prayer daily for a glimpse of our girl - as Jeff says, the Ella at the moment is not our little girl :(

New job still going well. Another meeting in London feeling important again - although I don't think I need to go again, so not so important after all LOL! Also working periodically at a second location - and even though the journey is a bit of a rush-hour pain, it's worth it to see this view in the morning :)

We had a fosterling move onto adoption. That was a new experience, but we have been the other side of it when we adopted Ella so had a good idea of the process. Made her a scrapbook album with a lot of journalling, as we found we had huge gaps in Ella's early years before we adopted her.

Another trip to Hampton Court Palace :) Both times recently we've found areas we've never seen in all the previous visits. I don't know what it is about the place, just enjoy visiting it so much - wonder if I lived there in a previous life? If I did it wouldn't have been as one of Henry VIII's wives as I get good vibes from it, which wasn't the emotions most of his wives had LOL!

World Cancer Day, bought this wristband and have worn it every day since.

One thing I don't get to treat myself to as often as I would like, or probably need, is a trip to the hairdressers. Last time was August before we went to America. Walked into a new salon as my old one had closed and they had just that minute had a cancellation. I have a couple of thinning spots - love this growing old lark! - so thought a slight change might mask it for a while, hello fringe! I must admit I spent all evening looking in the mirror, and think it actually makes me look a little younger, which is always a bonus :)
What else?
Trip to A&E with a fosterling
Went to see Wicked at the Apollo Theatre in London - even Jeff liked it and he is not really (to put it mildly) into musical theatre
Went to see The Greatest Showman with my BFF :)
Went to see The Greatest Showman with our God-daughter for her birthday - and made Jeff go to see that too ;)
And on Valentine's day Jeff and I actually got to go out for a meal, just the 2 of us. Flashback to last year when we went with 3 children in tow LOL!
Went to the Enchanted Fair which is very steampunk - goth - pagan - folky - alternative. Although Jeff made me laugh when he made a comment about how everyone is trying to show their individuality by wearing the same alternative clothing LMAO!
Went down to Dad and Sandra's
Got a phone call at 6am from mum cos she had had a fall. Jeff rushed straight round there to be the dutiful son-in-law. Thankfully no serious damage.
Back to London again for meetings for work. So still feeling all important ...... no more meetings now so the self-importance feelings will soon fade :)
Geez, no wonder we're so knackered!!!
