Coaches turned up just after 7. Hordes of children throwing themselves into their Mums' arms. I counted myself fortunate that she leant against me briefly, as the only thing I was expecting to be thrown at me was the suitcase. Obviously, I pulled the case home, but no shopping trolley necessary.
She waited until we got indoors and then gave me a huge hug.
She sat on the sofa with me watching Glastonbury and munching sausage sarnies until just before ten, when she disappeared. Found her face first on her bed, fully clothed, feet hanging over the side.
Sound asleep.
All is well with the world tonight.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
Hey everyone! Didn't stick to the list today I'm afraid as just had couple of hours after work before girls came round for tea and dvd and drinkies. But I did do:
Pots and drying up
Vac in kitchen and front room
Cleaned living room window: inside and out
Wiped down in kitchen
Had a very enjoyable evening catching up on gossip and watching The Hangover on dvd - a bit of brainless fun! Just thinking why oh why I booked myself in for hairdressers at 9:30 tomorrow morning - oh well, best be off to bed soon!
JoJo your encounter with the Council man made me laugh - good taste in tunes by the way!

From my list it looks like lots of catching up for me this weekend.
Planning on going to town to John Lewis clearance in the morning first thing. I have a huge list of things to look for and I can wander across to Argos to collect my iron and Debenhams to return some stuff.
Not too much on apart from cricket for 2 of the boys. Hoping to get DS2 to rest most of the weekend as he is still not right, oh he has an inset on Monday as well.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
