    I'm baaaaaack!

    We have had such a fab time, the weather has been a bit mixed but I wore my sundress twice, so it can't have been all bad! The kids have LOVED it, Ryan was able to go off to the playground on his own because it was close to our pitch, and he has become so much more confident and independant. And Natasha has discovered a natural ability to play football - she's fantastic at dribbling (and not just the saliva kind) and has a vicious right foot! :rotfl:

    I'm pleased to report that the camper is still in one piece despite thorough testing ;) and we LOVE it, give or take the odd earwig, wasp and spider here and there.

    I've got a few photos but haven't unpacked the camera and lead yet so will upload those later.

    Thanks to all those who wished us a good holiday. Hope everyone has had a good couple of weeks - I'm just making my way through all the diaries etc, but have I missed anything important?? :D

    Morning! Awww thanks very much xxx

    I am just uploading a few photos now - they are from my phonecam though, so some are a bit blurry.

    It's a training day at school today, so Ryan doesn't go back until tomorrow, which I am rather glad about because the house is upside down and I have no idea where his school stuff is! :rotfl:

    Must try to be organised today, but it's soooo tempting to just sit here and chat. :D

    Maybe I'll make a list, a la Hypno:

    1. [strike]make list [/strike](yipee, first one crossed off already)
    2. start diet (3lbs gained on holiday which I am okay with - could have been much worse)
    3. Tidy and clean entire house (hmmmmm......:o)
    4. Find and check all school stuff for tomorrow
    5. Wash bedding from camper (sleeping bags done, just sheets/pillowcases/blankets to do)
    6. At some point, fold camper back up (currently open on the driveway to make sure it is thoroughly dry).
    7. Come up with healthy, delicious meal from almost bare cupboards :rolleyes:
    8. Check internet banking

    Phew, feeling more organised already!
