Hi all, I thought I had better update our blog - I seem to be getting quite slack at it! Maybe because we are almost heading home and so I almost think... well i can just tell everyone when we get home next week! Only two more sleeps until we leave Germany (can you tell I'm excited?) I will be excited to see everyone again and to see home, but not so excited to be leaving everyone here. It's good to know that we will be back though!

The Christmas markets have begun and they are beautiful - especially at night when you can see all of the christmas lights. I have bought a few little presents for people - the christmas decorations are georgous, and quite reasonably priced too. Unfortunately it has been raining for the last couple of days so not the best weather for walking around outside. But the songs and atmosphere definitely put you in the christmas spirit!

It is my last day at work today, I have received a few small presents from students and their parents which is very cute, alot of home-made pictures too hehe. It will be sad to go because a couple of the children have said that I'm not allowed to leave, and that they want to come with me in my suitcase (how cute). But again, it will be made better by knowing that I am coming back again - it makes the 'goodbyes' more like 'see you laters'.

We had a good weekend out last weekend - one of the bars in town that a rugby boy DJ's at had a special; €15 all you can drink! Needless to say we all got quite drunk... aye Jace... but had a great night. Hopefully this weekend will match it considering it's our last Saturday night to cause havoc in the city of Frankfurt! A group of us are going out for dinner tonight at an American bar in town called the 'Chicago Meatpackers' so hopefully it will be yummy food!

Anyway... I'm actually at work right now and I think the kids are about to come in from their lunch break so I had better get off the computer and start looking like I'm actually doing work. I think we are going to be making christmas decorations today so I've got a lot of hard work ahead of me (notice how I spelt 'a lot' Nicola!!)
