Been up since 6am, Ady had been up since about 4.30am and was going to work so I had to get up to be with Scarlett aka the incredible non-sleeping toddler 🙁
However, I consoled myself that the sun was shining, I already had a load of washing ready for the line by 7am and we were off to Julie’s for the day. A plan of sitting in their lovely garden drinking tea, looking at HESFES pictures and chatting and catching up with Julie (not seen her since pre HESFES) while the kids ran around playing and we all enjoyed the sunshine was on the agenda. I’d also promised Davies a trip to the main Worthing library on the way home. He’s only been to the tiny Lancing one previously and I recall Worthing library being a fab place when I was a child and he was really looking forward to it.
Kids have been horrid already this morning, very squabbly with each other, both wanting to play with the same thing at the same time and just generally irritating.
So you can imagine my erm slight irritation when I had a phonecall from Ady. Yesterday he rang to say he still had the camera in his car despite knowing I needed it to take to the Mary Rose trip. Today he started with ‘what are you planning to do today?’ and then responding with ‘no you’re not, I’ve got your keys’ to my answer. That would be the car and house keys which means we are completely trapped in the house 🙁 Can’t get a train or bus cos Julie is miles away from the nearest station, have no pushchair as it’s in the car, can’t leave the house as I won’t be able to get back in again, can’t even really go out in the garden unless I wedge the door open which means the cats could get out 🙁
I did little or nothing to ease his guilt and just did that ‘woman’ thing of going all quiet and saying ‘yes’ ‘no’ or ‘hmmm’ to all he said while he jumped through all sorts of hoops to get me happy again. He’s in London so can’t even come back with the keys so that’s that. And whilst I probably should use the opportunity to do something educational and fun with the children in the house currently I hate everyone so am much more inclinded to just shout at them a lot and keep sending them to their rooms 🙁
Never catch me doing summat so stupid…

‘Bout 9.50 am on a day like that I would have thought.

mmm, and you know I left my purse *and* josiah’s sword in my other car yesterday, couldn’t really blame Steve as although he’d taken my car it was because I’d asked him to so that I can have the other one.
Hope your day’s turned out okay though Nic!
