  • OH is working all weekend, so me and DD are off out with my mum and dad on Saturday, dont know where yet, I will be spending Sunday cleaning, and I have Monday off work (rubbish being Self employed, I dont get paid for it), so me and DD will hopefully spend the day playing indoors or even bake some cakes if raining or if it is nice we will go to the park, so should be a cheap weekend which we could do with at the min. The typical British bank Holiday has already hit us, it looks dead gloomey here in Leicester already.

    IA, good luck with the OFSTEAD Inspection on Tues, what is it for, are you going into Child Minding?

    This is my last day in Norway!! I'm flying back home tonight, and WON'T be getting up at 3:45am on a Monday ever again (well, at least I hope not).

    I can't wait to get back to the best region of the best country in the world! (Northwest England). YAYY!!

    :j

    Much as I love Norway, I am so pleased for you DD. Have you got any special plans? I am sure Mrs DD and your daughter will be jumping for joy!

    We're off to CenterParc for the week, can't wait to try Lu on one of those "trail-along" bikes (the ones where they have no front wheels and attach to the back of an adult bike). She's excited about it because she likes going fast. Once she gets the hang of it, we'll do some mountain biking and perhaps some freestyling off 10ft platforms and jumps. ;)
