Well so much for well laid plans, last week i did my planning for this week only to get sick and send all my organising down the drain, obviously the kids were upset that they missed out on a couple of days activities, and i had a moments thought of selfishness (what about all the stuff i have had to cancel over the years when they have got sick)?
I have managed to get the rest of the kids uniform and other bits so their all ready to go.
we are going to go on a picnic tomorrow as the weather looks good and they have been asking to go swimming again so we will probably do that at the weekend.
Aah i just remembered something i should share, my 4 yr old made a car out of a big cardboard box, and she played all day in this car with her dolls i went in to tell her to tidy up and she was asleep cuddled up with her teddy roses in the cardboard box, and yes i did leave her in there.
I'm still having issues with the repairs on the house, i was supposed to have a new door about two weeks ago and as yet i have had no reply, i contacted them at the beginning of the week and they said that someone will be contacting me in the next couple of days but as yet nothing!
I think that another call is in order. We are all starting to look forward to going back to school and having some time apart, it's been pretty full on living in each others pockets for the last six weeks!

Dummy Partys
Hi i have had a better week this week, have got quite a bit done! We did go swimming! and we will be visiting family tomorrow and a couple of friends next week! we also had a party at the weekend.
The Throwing Away The Dummy party was for my four year old whom has had a difficult time in giving up the dummy at bedtime. I felt as she will be starting school, plus tooth issues it really needed to go! so hence the party along with music, dancing, balloons, nibbles and fizzy pop she put her dummy in the bin.
She has not really missed it or asked for it, which is odd as when it would get lost she would have an almighty paddy? I have been doing the shopping for school uniform this week "nightmare" had difficulty getting the sizes needed at a price i was willing to pay and trapezing around Bristol.
To be told that i should have bought it earlier, i had to save to buy their uniforms especially my son who starts secondary school the stuff is expensive, i could have bought bits each week but that would of mean't loads of shopping trips with kids and i wanted to get it done in one go.
But in all it has been a good week, im going to make plans tonight for next week so hopfully i will have another good one?

Lazy days are over
Well another week has gone and not alot has gotten done, nor have we been able to go anywhere, most of this is due to the weather and the rest is just a laps in to laziness and a false sense of security that i have plenty of time, which we know will be gone before you know it.
So i have decided that i need to take action if this holiday is not to be a washout, we are going to go swimming even if it is raining and we will camp in the garden rain or shine i just have to water proof the tent which coincidentally needs a good day of sunshine so it can dry? we will also go and visit friends.
As i write this the kids are making up lists of other stuff that they would like to do! hopefully nothing to expensive will come up? The other things i need to get back to is getting the house sorted (De-cluttering) in the hope of an eventual move!
I nearly forgot whilst on my soap box to let you know how the weekends events went, my friends party was great had a really good time lots of dancing and only got slightly tipsy. The christening ceremony was good but we only stayed awhile as public transport on Sundays is limited and it took awhile to get there and back, sadly there was also some family tension that did not make for a good atmosphere.

Money! Bored! Money!
Hi
I,m really starting to feel the holiday stress, as the weather has not been so great we have spent a lot of time in the house this week. My son has spent a lot of his time staying with friends and this week he,s been on an activity week.
But the girls are being quite demanding as they say their BORED!! and trying to keep them from arguing with each other and giving them ideas as what to do every five minutes is starting to get on my nerves. As you know I'm the font of all knowledge and can just pull thousands of things that "THEY" want to do out the top of my head at any given moment.
We did go to the Bristol Harbour Festival on Saturday night to see the fireworks, and spent a small fortune on rides, why is it that you can't leave the house with out spending money? even just going to the park and having a picnic you would think it's free? Wrong the ice cream van comes along and bang go's another fiver.
Oh well i will get the chance to have some time out this weekend it's my friends birthday party, also it's my nieces christening so the kids will have all their cousins to play with. But honestly i am enjoying spending extra time with them even though it's stressful!!
