Christmas Day with the kids went really well. They opened all their presents in the morning, after having smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast. Lunchtime went veyr well - they both ate loads (plus put loads on my plate). Then a cold buffet for tea. They were excellent behaved all day and it was great to spend all day exclusively with them, without going out or seeing anyone else.

Spent Boxing Day with Shell at her mums and then went out in the evening to meet up with Tim for his 21st. Bit damp, as everything closed early :(

Had the kids from 10-5 on Saturday and they met Shell in the afternoon when we picked her up from work. We took them to the Wacky Warehouse and part way through playing, Rhiannon went up to Shell and said "I want you to become my step-mum." Then she came over to me and said the same about Shell. Quite bizarre.

When we got back to the house, the kids were essentially fighting over sitting next to her, etc - it was really cool. Quite successful really.

Out again tonight after picking Shell up from work, cooking her tea, etc. Then back to work tomorrow :(
