When I collected DS from grandparents-in-law after work yesterday, he hadn't had any lunch or tea and had been in sick bay at school all afternoon. Why did the school not just call me and ask me to fetch him? Apparently they told him that he was "Too young to have migrains". What BS. So today I have been off work with him. Calpol did no good, and ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh, I feel like I have had very little sleep - and that is because I haven't! I could not sleep for excitement on Saturday night and last night I was full of adrenalin from such a fab day.

I had never been to Wimbledon before. Mum and my brother went to the men's semis last year, so she couldn't believe her luck when she was pulled out of ( Read more... )

Yay! Sun!

Today we went dog-sitting at Mum's whilst my parents attended a family party. It was the Rose Fair carnival in Wisbech. The road where M&D live is the one in which the floats start from, so the road was closed. This meant we had to go park in the newly transformed convent grounds which my dad and uncle have turned into apartments. It's ( Read more... )

A group effort cleaning the house this morning, followed by Shrek at the cinema and tea at Frankie and Bennies. What a lovely family day :oD

Another wet day. We went to Mum's school's summer fayre. Which was indoors. DS & DD spent £10 quicker than it took me to earn it. Left them with Mum, Dad picked me up and took me over to the hospital to visit Grandma. She reckons she will be home on Monday. Remains to be seen, but she does look a hell of a lot better.

On a different note, does ( Read more... )

Wow. Two fire drills in one afternoon. What a thrilling Friday afternoon! Plus a belgian bun for afternoon tea and takeaway pizza for tea! Oh yummy (and big tummy ;op)
Here is a card I made for my poorly friend Maz who has slipped a disc and has been signed off work for two weeks

As I walked through the school gates this morning, I checked and low and behold, the other gate which was open yesterday, also has a bent bolt, so I think I'm off the hook. YAY! *sigh of relief*

Monday is going so well. I wasn't up late or anything, but it was crowded at school and I couldn't park where I usually do. Because of this, I had to go into the school car park and turn round after dropping the kids off. Out of nowhere, I was suddenly dragging the gate that was closed along with my car which had got caught on my wing mirror?! I do ( Read more... )

Had a whopping good quiz night at the library on Wednesday. there were 14 teams (the most we'd ever had) about 80 or so people and we made £190 for the Community Archive Group www.ccan.co.uk There was only one dodgy question out of 99 so I think I did pretty well (apparently men and women have different number of ribs). Anyhow, people kept coming ( Read more... )

It seems a while since I last had a long rambling post. This weekend I did quite a bit, and I have also been doing a lot of thinking. I don't know if this is good(!)
Had to get up early on Saturday to go to PC world and get the laptop sorted. I was in there like 5 minutes. The guy said I had to insert one of the CD ROMs I'd found, press a key and ( Read more... )
