My goodness - havent updated in a whole week! Been so busy not doing alot but its taken up time. Does that make sense?

Met the priest Father O'Hagan on wednesday - he was very lovely and so helpful. Project seems to be going well - just need to get parents and childrens opinions. But im getting there. Then on Sunday morning went to the 930 mass at st colmcilles to see how the childrens liturgy worked. it was really interesting.

Saturday was the christmas big event. It went really well - just the usual amount of panic before hand! The kids enjoyed it though and that was the main thing.

Sunday went to carolines for dinner with all the methody mistresses from the good old days. It was lovely and so christmassy! We had crackers and presents and everything.

Last night decided to do some christmas shopping. Went into town surprisingly not busy. Went all over the place looking for things. Cutest story in the world...

In boots at the perfume cabinets was looking at all the perfumes and this man was beside me with his little boy buying perfume for his wife/girlfriend/someone. He was on the phone and the wee boy looked up at me and said

I know you!
really how do you know me?
from my bus - the double decker
yes thats right i get a double decker too. Are you in helping your daddy with the christmas shopping?
yes. (pause) Do you live in a big castle
(laughs) no i live in a little house.
A little house? whats it called?
It doesnt have a name just a number. Number 16. But I used to live in a big castle. It was a big school as well and i lived there with lots of other girls.
(dad joins in) were you a boarder?
No boarding mistress
What was it called?
Methody
