    One back to school on Monday and the other back on Tuesday, and boy am I glad for that! We've had a really quiet half term I'm afraid with no organised trips out, just little runs to the park for DD and lunch out one day for them all. I was going to take them swimming, but DS lost his trunks (cue major panic as there is a school swimming gala next week). I will be glad to get back into the normal routine next week though.

    J's been awful this week, i'm hoping it's just that he's out of routine! Monday can't come quick enough.


    OH is back with sore feet. He's got a good pic of him on his phone, in costume. I'm trying to convince him to send it to me so I can show my mum my fantastic needlecraft, and i've promised i WILL NOT put it on facebook. ;)

    I've got a bottle and a half of white zinfandel left. I could spare a glass or two.

    No, it wasn't that bad, just a desperately dull collection of people who have nothing in common except that they work together or are married to or the children of people who work together. In a language I'm not entirely comfortable in. And because we had Mistress Molly with us I ended up default kid wrangler and entertaining the overexcited, overcaffeinated seven-year-old while trying not to let her knock Molly over in her excitement. AND I had to keep their damned dog away from Molly, the dog's a totally harmless one and well used to children, but it was trying to steal the food from her hands and she reacts like a very small Rottweiler when her food is threatened :o.

    And I don't know what it is, but Husband seems to have taken it upon himself to embarrass me in front of any group of people we happen to be in. On the train on the way there I put my train ticket in the outside pocket of the changing bag. The bag fell off the seat and I asked him to check if the ticket was still in there. He did and said it was, but then later it wasn't so I asked if he had it. He took a big huff and said I'd given it to him at the station, and then when I said I hadn't, but did he have it? he made a massive production out of how I was wrong and he'd had it since the station. Small stuff that doesn't matter but makes me and others cringe, you know?

    Ah well. Molly got to go on a trampoline for the first time and seemed to enjoy herself till she got very overtired and we had to leave.

    Bloody eejits next door are playing their crap music outside so DS1 and Amber can't get to sleep. I really, really hate the council for housing that sort next door to me. Why do they only listen to crap dance music that wasn't any good when it came out, 10 years ago? Is it because their brains are so friend from all the crap they pump into it or what?
