Watching ‘our survey says’ on C4 just now and have just seen a clip of a bloke who answered ‘turkey’ to every question in the final of Family Fortunes. Made me laugh and did net him 21 points as well as four ‘Uhh-uhh’s so I think I will use it myself in place of the Mary Poppins inspired ‘it’s a word to say when you don’t know what to say’ which I shall not attempt to spell 🙂
Had a lovely lie in this morning til 9.30am and then we took the kids to the local poundshopwonderland place where they each chose a cheapo bit of plastic for a quid (we had gone there for some sort of storgae solution for the bathroom but found nothing) and then went for a walk round a parade of shops heavy with charity shops and got Reader Rabbit for 50p and a book for 30p so that was ‘bargainlicious’ (see how I am honing my financial frugality lingo!). Then over to Mum and Dad’s for lunch and the afternoon.
Kids had a great time running around, playing with toys, banging around on the piano (and I had a little play too!), then home via Tescos and McD’s ready to pack the kids off to bed before Dr Who and here I sit now.
Davies has done even more drawings today – his theme has been signs of the variety within a circle with a cross through to demonstrate what you are not allowed to do. The kitchen now has a sign up to show that you are not allowed to do washing up when Davies wants to talk to you, there is a sign on the fridge to tell you not to eat all the strawberries – dread to think where this could lead!
Tomorrow we are going to a party at a famous midwife’s house locally. She delivered Julie’s twins (at home) and has an annual bash for children and parents she has delivered. Supposed to be quite a good day out with bouncy castles and so on so weather permitting it should be a nice day. Hopefully will also be able to draw Chris out of any residual anger about the not going away with them thing.
Oh ROFL, how our lives do cross. Mary Cronk was my midwife too. Not sure if we are going though as DH is in deep gloom.
