All in a Tiz: Holidays nearly over, where has the time gone

Well back again and it is coming to the end of the school holidays - Tiz is back next Monday.
It has gone quite quickly despite the everyday question of 'Can I go to school today?'.
She hasn't really understood why she needs so much time off from school and the difference between being on holiday and going away on holiday.

We had 2 weeks away in the middle of the hols - first week with my aunt (mums sister) and the second in Tenby - a lovely welsh seaside town.
Weather was very kind to us and we only really had 2 miserable days of rain.
We got to go swimming in the sea at Tenby and Tiz has found a whole new confidence of water which she never really had before - so we are really pleased.

My birthday was slap bang in the middle of the two weeks away and John bought me a lovely ring which was part welsh gold and part silver with a white topaz stone.
For the rest of my presents I always get money, so that has gone towards more of my Denby China collection which I am slowly building up.

We had a friends wedding last Saturday and it was lovely. I had the priviledge of lacing the bride in. So thank you K for letting me be a part of your special day.

I went to the hospital for my appointment before the holiday and the consultant decided that he needs to do a laperoscopy to see if it's endometriosis. I haven't had the pain now for 3 months, but he wants to be sure.
I have a day surgery appointment on 28 September. I am very nervous to say the least as it's under general, but I would rather that than being awake.
Please pray it goes well.

When Tiz goes back to Pre-School she goes 3 full days - Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I don't need to find a job, but it would keep me from twiddling my fingers for those 3 days. I qualified as a teaching assistant last year, but here they are cutting ta jobs instead of hiring, so not sure what I will do. Ideas welcome.

Anyway here are a few pics of our summer
