Edinburgh!

So, last weekend we (mum, both sisters and me) were in Edinburgh for a quick shopping weekend. It was brilliant! It's been about three years since the last time and it still feels like coming home.
We had lots of good laughs and got a great deal of shopping done. Both sisters bought shoes like mad women, 5 and 6 pairs each!? :) I "only" got two pairs... :( The options in both size and fit are SO much better in Britain that I'm not surprised that they went "mad" when they finally had shoes to choose from! :) The notion that big (tall) girls have big feet seems to have been missed by the Swedish "shoe people"...
Any hoot...Good time, good, shopping, great flat (top of the Mound)!! Even tough it was only one room/kitchenette + bathroom w. shower, the four of us had no problems fitting in ourselves or all our shopping.
Only sad thing was that I didn't have time to meet up with any of my old "crew" *lol* or my "family" in Portobello. My dearest Nyki is bringing her hubby over in November so I'll see her before too long but I'm really sorry I missed the kids and B&G...hope our paths cross again in the near future! :)

The trip to/from Edinburgh via Prestwick/Glasgow also went very smoothly, a lot thanks to Stephens detailed planning for the journey. *blow kiss*
Got a very nice surprise when getting of the plane, Stephen came with the kiddies to pick me up! :D Glad I didn't have to take the train back home. :) And I got a lovely bunch of flowers to welcome me home! :)
I hadn't been away at all from Erin previously and very rarely ever been away from Anton or Stephen either, so I'd missed them a bit and was thrilled to see them there. Erin was already in her Mommo's (mums) arms and didn't seem "scarred" from me leaving her. :)

This week as just swooshed by! Loads to do in school at the moment and no time to do it in. Anton had a fever on Wednesday and was sent home from dagis, I stayed home on Thursday and he got antibiotics on Friday since he's got tonsillitis. Stephen has knocked out by (probably) the same thing today, had barely left the bed all day, and Erin has major sniffles but no "proper" fever and I'm probably just too busy with everyone/everything else to find the time to be unwell... :) Maybe next weekend? :)

I've managed to get some studying done tonight after putting kiddies to bed but it feels a little bit like the top of the ice berg so we'll see how I get on tomorrow and on my exam om Monday! :/

Now I'm going to bed! :)
Nightnight!
