Moving on

Watty1

Wow @WelshmansDaughter I hope she still enjoys wearing it sometimes. I have an expensive bottle of something or another and I used it the other day (it was one of the items found when I opened a cupboard) and it did not smell like I remember it all. I suspect quality counts. Mine was expensive but a trashy brand iykwim

Tbh Watty I think she forgets it's there. It was the Going Out for The Night as Grownups perfume. She is 76 now and still hasn't grown up so maybe that explains it.

I have a Fenjal spray that DH gave me around the time we got married - in the late 80s. At the time it wasn't my thing but all those years in the drawer don't seem to have done it any harm and now it's something I enjoy using.

We actually had a really good night's sleep while babysitting, apart from the dog heard footsteps going past at midnight and warned them off. In the morning we took our charges out for a walk (library and swings, and I called in at the local shop for coffee as I'd forgotten to bring a sachet and DD's coffee, while proper stuff in pods, is a bit strong for me to have as a regular thing.

DD and DSiL came back at 12 and we set off home. I spent quite a lot of the rest of the day dashing round either setting up the hall for today's children's group, doing cleaning there (I don't think I'm going to be able to manage all the area I've offered to do, but no one else is doing that area as far as I know so they will have to put up with what I can manage) then in the evening I finished off the activities for the children. I didn't get to bed till about one, (cutting out 15 card crowns for them to decorate, and making a wooden spoon doll for the story telling).

After all that, it turned out there were only four children in the session, two of whom were too young to participate fully. Everyone else seems to have been on parade, as it's Remembrance Sunday. One of the activities was making a 'book' of the story, which one of the girls read out so there was no need for the puppet either! At least we have loads of resources ready for the next time the story comes around.

Straight from church, we went to DGD2's birthday party and spent the afternoon with them. Lots of treat food and nice people. DS2 and his fiancee have set a date for the wedding, and amazingly they have been able to book a nice venue this summer.

DH and I didn't stay the whole time as we both needed a rest. Dinner was chicken and chorizo pasta, and it's been a lazy evening.

Spends have been the fish and chips, a charity shop scarf to make a dress for the puppet, the coffee and some Chelsea buns, a pint of milk, lots of oddments from BeeandEmm (mostly stocking fillers) and a recharge for the car.

Is anyone else finding posts show as not being sent when actually, if another window is opened to check, they have gone successfully? It's happened to me a lot in the last few days and another variation is when I can see it's posted but what I've written remains in the comment box.
