thank you yes, had 4 of the 5 kids back for dinner, 2 were plus partners and mil. so it was 2 vegans, 3 meat eaters and 4 veggies i was coooking for, it went well
other DD was busy elsewhere with her partner (it involved drinking and not wanting to drive so fully understood that, we saw her good friday and are going out for a meal soon.
apart from that watched lots of films did knitting sewing and read a book. michael morpurgo, across a wide wide sea, it was beautiful, a bout a young orphan boy who was sent off to australia after the war and ended up working almost as a slave on a farm with lots of other 'adopted' boys. all he had to remind him of England was a recollection of a sister called kitty and a small key she gave him. i know michael morpurgos books are really aimed at young adults but they are so beautifully written i just cant resist them, i buy them for my son and end up reading them myself.

envious of your beautifully tidy cupboard feisty

MRSMONEYPENNY oh that sounds lovely spending it with the kids and family, i had 2 out of my 3 all weekend, DD2 was still in Thailand, and then my Dsis and kids all over for easter lunch, yes i agree Michael Murpurgos books are brilliant

Freespirit you just pin away my love. It's there to share !!!!

I have no idea why I am still up. I have to be in work by 8. So will have to be up by 5.30 to get Mia out for a walk and have 3 cups of coffee before I leave at 7.30.

I ended up not getting the caddies from Asda. They didn't have enough in stock, and if I am going to have to wait I may as we'll go for my first idea which is free.

Amazingly Ikea had everything in stock. My app was showing one item OOS but they had loads. Now I just need to find some time to get ds' room finished and mine at least started. Can't really see where that is going to happen at the moment. A couple of very late nights may be on the cards.

Happy birthday Quidsy x


Had a lovely Easter break with the kids. The weather was great so they were outside all week. We went to the science centre and had a family BBQ on Easter Sunday.

I'm working tonight in the pub. It's tiring but handy for money and no childcare costs. X

Thanks all, been reading everyday but nothing to report Christmas wise as I only get going around July.

Am off out for family dinner soon and had a nice lazy day.

Happy birthday Quidsy! Glad that you had a lovely day. Hope that you enjoy your meal.

Nothing much to report from the 3forholidays household. I have put in for my summer holidays at work so I will wait for the ok then start planning where to go.
