I like Crepes and Mulled Whine!
DD2 says she wants to "do something today." What? "Go out and do something." She refused to come out yesterday and spent most of it talking to her BFF in Houston on Skype. I have offered to take her up to Uniqlo to get her a new coat, but she has now said "Naaah, it's OK, I don't think I'll bother." So I have offered instead a trip to a museum, an art gallery or a walk along the South Bank. No to all of them. 
DD1 has stayed over at school this weekend as she had a full day of rehearsals yesterday. She asked if she could come home yesterday early evening, and I said yes, no problem. She then said she had no money to get back as she hadn't drawn down any pocket money. Suggested she asked her room mate to lend her some, but that fell in the "much too difficult" category, so she is sulking at school and sending me periodic texts saying she hates it there and wants to leave and go to another school. Any school. Just not this one. She hates it (bizarrely, apart from the boarding, which she loves) - she is bored with all the lessons, isn't learning anything and has had enough. The thing is, she is like this at first with every school she has been to, so not entirely sure how much notice to take of her. Will raise her boredom with the school when we go for Parent/Teacher day later this month. On the plus side, she is giving the Thanksgiving Address in French, as she is the best French speaker in the school!
