Got her clothes so we could have a getting dressed race and woke Lydia on my way past. She got dressed quickly as she was excited to wear her cubs uniform to school for Armistice Day.
Breakfast was a bit more stressy but we just about made it out the door ok. Got to school, lots of comparing of scout badges in the playground. Then up to the infant school Phoebe asking me questions about what ballet dancers wear to work ahead of 'dress up as you what you want to be when you grown up' day for Children in Need on Friday, and if footballers' families go to watch them play the way we went to watch her in her ballet show.
Rushed home for work calls. Today was a Comms unit annual planning session and a catch up on recruitment with my co-lead. In between, prepped induction materials and pitch emails for YouTubers. Mug courtesy of my dancing buddy Peter!
Finished up a little later to cover work needed ahead of being on leave Thurs and Fri. Then turned the house upside down again looking for Phoebe's ballet uniform. Couldn't find it so packed her show costume for her to wear instead.
Went to the gym. Day B today, but feeling weak for some reason so had to drop weight in some sets.
Barbell RDL on smith machine: 5 sets x 5 reps 31kg
Dumbbell OHP: 3 sets x 5 reps 14kg or 7kg each arm
Lat pull down: 3 sets x 5 reps 29kg down to 25kg
Hip Thrust: 3 sets x 10 reps 41kg
Seated Cable Row: 3 sets x 10 reps 16kg
Shoulder Press Machine: 3 sets x 10 reps 11kg down to 7kg
Leg Extension: 3 sets x 10 reps 29.6kg down to 25kg
Tricep Pushdown: 3 sets x 10 reps 7.9kg
Finished up in time but then got stuck in traffic. Made it to school 5 mins after the bell so picked Phoebe up from reception. Rushed over to Portswood for tea before ballet. The Sainsbury's cafe, Phoebe's preferred cafe on a Wednesday wasn't serving food for some reason, so we bought her a meal deal instead after getting her changed in the loos.
Whilst she was dancing, treated myself to a karak chai and tikka wrap from Chaiiwala for my own dinner as I fancied something hot.
Once I'd picked her up, all excited about having a certificate for doing the show, home via a parcel locker pick up of Christmas presents and a quick granny phone call. When we got home spent 10 mins doing some market research on radio listening habits for a beleaguered looking researcher. Got a £5 voucher for my troubles. Then back out to pick up Lydia from our friend's. Stopped for a cuppa to try and ease the exit process. Still got a torrent of shouting about wanting sleepovers and to go to holiday club in the Christmas holidays all the way home.
Tom home from his course just as we got in, so tag teamed bedtime. Both girls wanting extra cuddles as I'm going away. Finished up the last min packing and now an early bedtime for me ahead of an early wake up.
