Monday, a whole week ago

Blimey, that’s a catch up and a half. Will do individual days rather than one HUGE blogpost. Don’t expect the individual days to be small or anything though! 😆

Monday morning was lots of laundry and some online sorting out type stuff. Scarlett spent about 2.5 hours in her bedroom tidying up. I did offer to do it for her but was clear that my brand of tidying up wouldn’t be the same as hers. Mine involves most stuff being chucked and proper homes found for anything kept. Hers involves shoving as much stuff as possible into piles under the bed, various boxes and bags and very little actual sorting out. Infact although more floor space might result in truth there is more mess created by her method than mine. Both kids are real horders, as is Ady, whereas I do try to pare down what I keep and am fairly ruthless about general ‘stuff’.

We finally got that done and then popped out to get food supplies (especially breakfast cereal 😉 but as it turned out not enough milk) for the next few days. We came home for a late lunch and I’m not too sure where the afternoon went really.

Babs and co arrived at about 430pm I think, later than planned but we still got a full 12 hours in of each others company before we finally retired to bed! 🙂

Kids played, adults chatted. Ady did a lovely pheasant dinner, I cooked the kids hotdogs and chips, which was less popular than I’d hoped (I think only 2/5 actually wanted to eat the hotdogs!) and everyone went to sleep a good few hours later than they probably should have done with Barbara and I finally turning in at about 430am ish.
