School's out!

Yipeeeeee! I didn't think I would but I made it to the school holidays! 6 whole weeks of lovely lie ins and trips away and lots of relaxation! Yay!

 It has been a really manic week for me at work, Wednesday was my last day in Nursery which was lovely and then yesterday was the staff leaving party at school! I got some beautiful presents including a bouquet of flowers (I took a pic, see below!), a lovely cat print scarf and silver bracelet from Oliver Bonas which the staff bought me. Today was the last day at my job-I felt sad because I will miss the children but I feel happy and relieved to be moving on to hopefully a happier environment for me. It hasn't been the easiest of years but I feel like I have done the best I can in my role and that is all you can really do isn't it?

I also got a lovely big card that my class made me and wrote lots of messages inside which brought lots of tears to my eyes! As well as some lovely other things including some John Lewis vouchers from the parents which I am excited to spend! Whilst it was lovely to get these things, it was really heartwarming to know that the kids enjoyed having me in my class and I really will miss them-I know it's not all about the gifts! (although that is a nice perk!)

However saying that I have already had a little peek at the John Lewis website and seen loads of things I want to get! I am a big fan of Cath Kidston but her stuff is a bit too steep for me normally. However John Lewis sell a big rage of her stuff-I especially this super cute messenger lunch bag and shoe tidy for my wardrobe.

 John Lewis also stock a designer I lurveeeee called East of India-they make beautiful boxes, signs and generally very pretty things which are covered in life quotes.

 I am going to keep looking before I commit to using my vouchers! I am going to relax tonight with a takeaway and film with my Mum as Michael is at his end of year school meet up. Tomorrow Michael and I are heading to Greenwich (many an early date was spent there!) and hopefully use our tastecard for the first time! It arrived yesterday and I can't wait to use it.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and here is to a lovely summer ahead!
