We popped along to the car boot sale this morning. A got a few bits, some t shirts for Davies, couple of videos and a Wallace and Gromit cd rom with some games on it, but it was a very quiet week there and rain threatened all morning.
Once home I made popcorn and we all had that for lunch before Ady and the children all wandered outside. I had felt like I should do *something* but failed utterly to do anything other than sit infront of the laptop. Davies played his W&G games and then my parents turned up on their way home from a day out for an hour or so.
Davies and Scarlett had a bath with the gellibaff (thanks again for that Helen 😉 – and your ‘dealer’!) – what curious stuff that is, a bit like the crystals you get when a disposable nappy tears open were left around but the kids had a great time with it, although the claims on the box of it dissolving away were a bit ambitious – I had to shower them both down before they got out of the bath as they were still totally gellied up 😆
My parents left, we had roast dinner (Davies is soo adventurous with his eating nowadays, I really must make more of an effort to give him different stuff. Scarlett remains true to form and fills her yorkshire puddings with mashed potato, turns her nose up at carrots that are cooked ‘I only like them RAW’ and nibbled the tiniest bit of lamb before declaring she didn’t like it 🙄 that child is a walking anti-Atkins advert with her carbolicious eating habits), the children went to bed. Tomorrow is Monday again already and back into the rounds of various clubs and commitments – just looked through my diary and I don’t think we have a free weekend now until well into November so I guess we won’t be testing that Outwell out this year after all (unless the seasons really do go crazy) but we’ve been looking at this website this afternoon and I’m going to contact them about the possibility of staying there to help build with children around for next year so plenty of exciting times to look forward to. 🙂
Buttercup wants some Gelli Baff, but the more I read about it the more unlikely it seems that I will be buying her any …
I showed James that site earlier this year and we were all up for building our own house. Until I veered off on another obsession that is 😉 It is a fabulous house though.
Gelli Baff would make me anxious about drains blocking, though it does look like fun.
eww yukky at gellibaff 😆
I have a carb monster too 🙄
see you at MMs.
rofl at you. my dealer swore she had tried it out! I wouldn’t trust your drains either alison! oops that it didn’t dissolve. SB really wanted to give it to Davies. She thought they could pretend they were bathing in blood [odd child!] BB’s present was a bit more sensible though.
lol it did look quite interesting and didn’t do anything dreadful to their skin. Although it was very red in the bath the oversplashes on the carpet were pale pink and came straight off with a damp flannel. Cool present – I could think of kids I’d buy it for 😉
Aprilia is desperate for some GelliBarf, may get her some for Chrimbo.
