Will catch up properly tonight, been out most of the day shopping. Gave DH a lift to work after dropping his car off for servicing, then drove to a large mall near us and went to the shoe shop first thing (still had to wait half an hour!). Got some shoes and other bits, back home now so will get tea started soon.

Fri-yay! Must put wine in fridge .....

Been at work all day.
Eaten some tea and about to run an errand to the shops.

Checking in.

Honky is used in the US as a derogatory way of referring to white people I think? Rings a bell from something I’ve watched anyway.

I’m watching a weird anime film, well half watching really it’s a PG but I’m just keeping a vague eye to check it’s ok for the Caglets. DD at a sleepover, boys at the cinema. Not managing to do any housework while baby’s awake. Need to order that playpen as at least then she can go in there while I put a wash on and stuff. Thankfully I did some laundry earlier - all the dressing up stuff (will declutter when dry as wanted to see what came out well) then woolly blankets to put away.

I have set up the iPhone (DSD gave me her old one) and set up my old android for DD while her phone dries out in a pot of rice. Walked to the hospital (was two buses to get there from old house) took slightly longer as I had to go back to collect the form 🤦‍♀️ had blood test then found some house stuff we needed in Wilko.

DH is working the next 4 days in a row, this is going to be a struggle.

I don’t normally screen PG films for the Caglets BTW, just anime as they can be quite odd with the ratings!

Every time I watch princess mononoke I can’t believe it’s a PG. My lot would never cope with watching it!

This one (Lu Over the Wall) is sweet but like Ponyo on acid

Goodness no one here yesterday must be a record!

I was away with renovating team Sat?sun. I always come back refreshed from there.They enjoyed the food.Smile

Oh and thank goodness I found the IPAD. Glad I hadn't told DH and so glad I went back down to look. However it turned up in a weird place in the kitchen, think I must be losing the plot. Just need to find the charger I was too tired to bother last night. It is here though as I brought it home last week. Ipad is staying home in future. Perhaps I will get a new phone as mine is old even the letters have rubbed off.
Well it is back to work today not looking forward to it.Back to back meetings all day but have decided to get out on time and enjoy time at home. Six weeks and haven't done everything I wanted to but DD has offered to help and I have offered some money towards travelling if she does. I need her to help empty kitchen but she wont see result as they are coming November and she is leaving in October. Lucky thing, one year out travelling.
Right I need to get moving. Glad I got everything ready before leaving.

CassandraLamontaigne · 03/09/2018 10:10

bower so glad the I pad turned up!!
