A week in the life of...me!

More inspiration coming from Ali Edwards new book - I have decided to do an album about me again (already done an A-Z and have a few pages in BOM) but think it would be interesting to catalogue a week in my life.

I have chosen to do it the first week in December when I have got a few things on - so that it might actually be interesting. We are going down to see Jessica in Norwich and will pick our Christmas tree - 
fresh from the fields of Norwich. 
I have got a retirement do at the new football ground so can include lots of my colleages.
I will include slimming, the gym, grocery shopping, daily food and boring aspects of normal life - car journeys, baking, laundry etc. I have made a list of things to include just need to buy 7 folders to keep things in like receipts , emails, newspaper cutting etc. I have also bought a new 1GB card for my camera so I can take tons of photos so will hopefully have plenty to choose from.

I know this sounds a bit selfish doing me again and perhaps a bit dull as my life is not that exciting - but I really liked the comment Ali made -'imagine you could see in the week of a relative of yours 100 years ago.' now that would be interesting and so different to our life now, 
so perhaps someone may find it interesting in 100 years time!

I think preparation will be the key here - so I must make sure that I know exactly what to record. 
Not sure quite how to lay it out as the album that Ali used is a ring binder with pocket pages - so will have to give that some consideration.
