Thanks to a rather late night last night the children didn’t wake until 7.30am today – my turn to get up but not nearly as hideous as it could have been 🙂
Still not heard about the tent but I’m assuming it’s a no now – thanks for the offer Helen 🙂 We are borrowing Alison’s but a freecycle one of our own would have been nice. I also rang up after a cheap one in the Friday Ad but it had gone. 🙁 We’ve got a stove off Chris (Ady’s bro) now though so that’s good 🙂
So this morning we went out to a HUGE car boot sale – five rows of both sides of cars – about 1000 ‘stalls’ in all I guess. Me and Davies went off and Tarly and Ady went off – we met up at least three times walking round and I spent £2.00, Ady spent £1.20. No camping stuff at all but Davies and I got a Gromit bag (I know, I know, but they have such value on ebay I don’t mind), Ady and Scarlett got one small Shawn the sheep plastic toy, one small cuddly toy (10 p each) and videos of Bambi and Snow White. Going midway through when some people had already had enough with cute kids always nets some free stuff from people who are reluctant to get shot of their now grown up kids’ toys and just want them to go to a good home so me and Davies got a cuddly bat, Kermit and Miss Piggy while Tarly alone had charmed a Chicken Run backpack and a fluffy white cat on a pink leather, jewel studded lead out of some woman 🙂
Whilst walking round the sun had well and truly come out and although I’d worn long sleeves I had cut away shoulders on my top so I have now have attractive very pink semi circle shapes on my shoulders – nice!
We had an hour before we were due at Chris and Julie’s so we popped home again for lunch and then headed over there. Listening to an old cd in the car with Irene Cara’s Fame! on it Davies wanted to know how come she thought you could ‘make it to Heaven’ when you have to die first to get there and why you’d sing a song about that. So that was a nice one to field ;-).
The children played – Ady and Chris hoovered out their cars and me and Julie chatted. We’d taken our most recent photo album with us so we looked through that and she was able to put some names to faces of other friends she hears lots about but has never actually met.
We had a nice couple of hours there then came home. Ady had showed Davies a video clip on his phone of Tony accompanying Ros, Sarah and I to Summer Lovin’ last night so he decided he wanted to watch Grease, so we had that on while they had their dinner. Ady bathed them while I got dinner on and baked a chocolate chip sponge cake to have for pudding tomorrow night when my parents are over and despite not going to bed until 11pm last night they were both slow to get to sleep tonight.
Tomorrow we’re off to London for the day with my parents. Visiting the Science museum and Davies and I are going to the Pixar exhibition so we’re looking forward to that. 🙂
