smallholdingsister's strivings

Sorry. I am more than usually monosyllabic.

Party ran smoothly because it was at soft play. Bliss not to have to clear up. I don't know if it is peculiar to Devon but people usually don't seem to want to RSVP to kids parties.

I spent yesterday resting and sleeping since the kids were off gallivanting. I have to be more productive today.

Nope - RSVP-ing is sadly lacking here in Glos, too. Putting my mobile number on invitations gets a better response - people can text at random times - but there are inevitably a couple or so (depending upon how many were originally invited) which always need chasing up...

I wonder how often it is because the invitation in languishing in the child's tray.

If I have the parent's number I will text to say an invitation is on its way.

When I organise a birthday party for my son, I don't sent invitations. The party is always small and if my son wishes to invite a child we don't know, the unknown child will have to come to the house for dinner in advance of the party.

That's brill Alex. I am never at the school gate though and messages sent through my parents (who are there in my place) are somewhat...um...variable.

An example of this is my Mum telling me I would have to change the date of the party since there were two others on the same day. Neither materialised!

Tidy up day today since the agent is coming to re take some of her terribly dark photos.

It is so ineffably frustrating to not have any viewings.

Tidying done. When I write my memoirs (diaries of a full time working mother of three) I am going to call them
"How the hell did you get toothpaste THERE?".

I also (while understanding why there is a yellow stain around the base of the loo) am concerned to have NO IDEA why there is also one around the base of the sink.?!

Limescale? That's where we always put the blame here...
