not for proper shoes

Today we are going to go into town to get Evies feet measured.

As she has already got some shoes for school we dont need to buy any and the only other thing she wants to wear are either her trainers or crocs and they are both size 8 (which is the next half size up anyway).

If her feet have grown then we will have to get her some new tap dancing shoes as long as we get the nice lady or man rather than the woman who couldnt be bothered!

I have explained to Evie already that we wont be buying new shoes today whether her feet have grown or not so we will have to see.

Wednesday and Thursday

On Wednesday me & Evie went to Southend with James Mum & Dad

Evie with the sandcastles she made with her granddad

On Thursday I had my (horrible) appointment so we went into town early to have a treat

Evie sipping her chocolate milkshake

mummys treat

The appointment itself went well and I should get the results back in a month

a pre appointment treat

When me & Evie were in town on Monday we were looking in the window of Patisserie Valerie which has recently opened in Debenhams, we were looking at the cakes in the window and Evie said that she would like to try the strawberry one (as she LOVES strawberries).

So today after we have had our lunch we will go into town and have a pre (horrible) appointment treat.

I already know what I am going to go for :)

and yes it will be chocolatty.

From the bathroom

I noticed the other day on the sky+ app that you can view the planner too (showing what programmes have been recorded) as well as adding programmes to it.

So while Evie was watching something I tried to watch something on the planner on my phone but all it did was play the programme on the main TV - oh well.

So this morning I was in the bathroom and Evie was downstairs and she shouted up that she wanted to watch something so as I had my phone with me I was able to put her programme on for her :)

Chelmsford Chocolat

On Friday me & Evie were in town and we were walking in a different direction as I wanted to look at the new restaurants in the restaurant quarter...

I was walking past the new John Lewis development and saw that Hotel Chocolat will be opening in Chelmsford so I just looked at their careers page and the only job in Chelmsford on offer is for a shop manager:(

I shall keep checking back...

...you may never know :)

booking appointments

When we came back from holiday I had a couple of reminders in the post...

...one saying that my horrible nurses visit needs to be done (the thing that is done is horrible not the nurse (she is nice) ;o)).

And dental checkups for me & Evie...

...so this morning I booked them up and they are both next week.

The nurses one will be late in the afternoon meaning that James can take Evie home or they can have a drink somewhere and I come and meet them after.

I just have to start naming all of Evies uniform now (we have a laundry pen so I may use that on some of the bits) and iron in the others.

the chocolate teapot place

When Evie woke up this morning she asked me what we were doing that day...

...she does ask every day :)

And I told her that we would go to the cafe where the other Tumble Tots was, and the same place where she had her hot chocolate in a teapot :)

And perhaps we will have some cake also :)
