What foul weather today! Got soaked picking kids up from school.

Off out again in about an hour and a half. DS2 has his football presentation evening. His under 9's team were top of the division 3 league.
I don't really want to go! Will no doubt end up sat alone while all the other families have each other to chat to!
DS2 is going from their to a sleepover at his friends.

I am really tired today. So i better try and get an earlier night so that i have energy to cope with 10 kids tomorrow lol!

In the end had eight kids round! And three mums. Got slightly carried away I fear. Should have pretended it WAS someone's birthday! They all played dressing up and disappeared upstairs, then ate some sausage casserole and mashed potato, apart from dd who took advantage of guests to refuse everything except a few twiglets.

Never went to bed with my book, but managed to plod through some chores and cook, iron and tidy. Will read it later It's been great having this busy day.

All very cosy now in this (still messy) house, we are watching Star Wars, not quite raining but that cosy grey feeling when all the green vegetation seems rich and overpowering.

I love the bear cake Tort! It looks very realistic. not teddy like I mean...but exciting. I hope you bring it in with a growl!
Hope football presentation goes alright, ds2 will make it worthwhile. It is so tiring getting ready for a party you have my sympathy.

TPF, are you going to dress as a beautiful butterfly for the pary, I do hope so.

Hope everyone else has collapsed in contented heaps, especially Gibbberish.

swanriver · 15/05/2009 19:46

EHM, poor you hope your dh gives you a hug for all the work you've put in, and that you get the offer you want.

swanriver · 15/05/2009 19:49

party, not pary and five kids round.

evening all

we are all tired and depressed. To top it off ds is poorly and we think its the pox which is rampaging through nursery at the moment

laurasmiles · 16/05/2009 01:13

gibberish err...actually I call them friends but really they are just a bunch of stirrers! (gett-it? stirrers??) Most of the time they fry my patience.... okay that last one didn't work!

All well here. The house has that veneer of being in order but if I REALLy need to swish and swipe and hoover tomorrow - shame I'm buggering off to the farm. More to the point, shame dp has hurt his ribs - perfect excuse NOt to hoover! grrr

Wolf (((hugs))) Hope tomorrow brings some brightness and that dammn pox has only a brief and minor outburst.

Wendy impressed you're still going at 9pm - I've given up well before that. A girl needs some downtime!

Tort - hope the party pulls off superbly. have fun!

Swan Love that comment about 'cosy grey feeling....' mkaes me feel I'm there too!

EHM Let's hope you get an offer very soon. I know it can be a real pain. My last flat fell though once before and it's not quite so exciting going through it all twcie over!

Hi to everyone else - or should that be night night. It is tommorow already. Catch you on the flip side.....

gibbberish · 16/05/2009 11:25
