Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's quite a slow day for the wee one today to which I'm sure the kids and teacher's will be grateful for. Today their adventure consists of Visit Zhucheng #1 High School. Drive to Tai’an city. I think they needed a chill out day tbh as when I'm on the school blog/checking emails the kids seem to be looking very tired now.

Not long till Thursday when my eldest is home :hyper: and we have nearly finished his room I have changed his colour theme from Electric Blue walls to Magnolia, so now instead of all blue, it is now cream, black & grey bedding, cream & black rug which looks far better IMO, I really hated the electric blue colour theme.

Nice to get the room decorated when he was away, Is it a surprise for him,or did he know it was being done?, Hope he likes it,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No he did not but his fiancée did as we were in on the new colour scheme & change of colour together LOL

The wee one would have us changing him room all the time if he could, whereas his big brother could not care less what his room looked like as long as there is a bed, tv, tivo box and heating.

Just another up date on the wee one and his trip. Today he it was planned to climb part of Mt Tai – this is regarded as the 1st of the 5 sacred mountains in China.
Then the plan was to spend some time at the Kindergarten, where some funds were raised to help the Kindergarten supply educational toys this was done through coffee morning, sponsored walk etc as well as all the children taking with them a shoe box filled with things like crayons, colouring book, stickers etc.

Then a coach transfer to Qufu-Confucius hometown, where they will spend the night to rest for the next days adventure :) I'm pleased to say in the recent pictures that have been sent the wee one is looking less tired.

Keeping it quiet, but job interview in the morning. It's a zero hours contract, but to be honest it is better than nothing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck Mark.

Good luck Mark :)

Hope you get something out of this one, Good Luck

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck mark, don't worry about zero hour contracts either, if you're working to a rota and do similar or additional hours each month they're not worth the paper their written on. I'm on one, have been for about three years, my company just got sick of idiots taking them to tribunal and introduced them. I did 332.5 hours last month, not entirely through choice but I normally do 280 odd quite happily, if you're good at your job and work for a half decent company you have nothing to fear from these contracts

My eldest son comes home today :)

In regards to the wee one he will be visiting the Confucius Mansion, Guided visit to Confucius Temple and Confucius Forest then a high-speed train to Shanghai where they will be staying overnight.

I can't believe it's been a week already.
