This week I have put on a pound. This is not as negative as it could be given the continued consumption of Gluhwein and regular trips to the Market again. I'm kind of putting this on the back burner until the New Year when I plan to make getting to goal my number one resolution followed by getting more exercise.
This week has seen pay day, Christmas bonus and finally my German tax return so things are looking up on that front! This also saw me lift my shopping ban temporarily. Well, my last pair of flat shoes fell apart on Thursday night in the rain so I have invested in some girly peach pump type shoes for day to day wear. At the bargain price of 9.50 Euros, I'm not convinced they'll last long but if I like them, I'll by some better quality next time.
I'm still fighting off a horrible cold which is affecting my hearing now so I have to see an ENT specialist next week. It sounds a bit scary seeing a specialist but it's more common here than in England so we will see what Monday brings.
We've been coming up with some new teaching ideas for the top set pupils in year seven so I've been busy copying fiction books (which all my pupils want to read, not just the top set). We're going to do Mathilda next year (book, then film) and I'm taking them to the school kitchen to make mince pies for Xmas!
I finished making my Christmas cards to send to England and just need to do one more German one now. The flat is becoming more full of the Christmas spirit every day and hopefully, we will find a tree this afternoon!
Next week, I must crack on with the Christmas shopping, will hopefully cross something else of my 27 list and am looking forward to a visit from Mum on Thursday!
