Are you all settled in? Are you 'on holiday' and relaxing and recharging your batteries?

smallholdingsister

Yes. On holiday. At pony club today (mock C test).

The kids are off with grandparents tomorrow so trying to show them a good time while we have them!

Hurray for holidays :j

Plops disgraced herself. Puppylove now has a DOG FLAP.

smallholdingsister

Puppylove can now work the dog flap. When it suits her. Had DD2's Godmother to lunch, very jolly.

My small folk are off on holiday with the grandparents for TWO WHOLE WEEKS.

Enjoy the peace and quiet. Have you any grown up days planned for when they are away?

Freedommmmmmmm!!!

(Though I'd be all at sea if dd was away for that long, myself)

smallholdingsister

I cried when they left, though I tried to pretend I wasn't.

Lots of ideas, but also redecorate their bedrooms and DH wants to / doesn't want to have his sister visit ( A game I don't know the rules of!).

Yikes - getting rid of your own family, only to take on dh's sis without knowing how to play the game.... Nooooooooooooo!

The specialist curtain dry cleaners have effed up my expensive handmade curtains. They now have a charming puffball effect at the hem and the staff didn't think to mention it when I collected them. Then they lost (temporarily thank goodness) one of the pairs.

They are going to attempt to fix it after trying to fob me off.
