been a busy couple of days – there’s a surprise!
But I feel that I’ve been very productive, so that is good.
Friday
Let’s see – can I remember?? Oh yes, started the day by running around like a lunatic trying to clear the living room to generate sufficient space for the new table. Failed dismally in that we also had to be at a photo studio for 11am – arrived at the studio at 11.03 (very impressed with self) to discover that they had done the thing where they give out three appts at the same time assuming that some ppl won’t show. And they all did. 35 minutes later I pointed out that I’d only put 40 minutes on the car and that I’d better move it. Grrr.
We were there as we’d *won* a portrait in a draw at a craft fair (the Thomas day we were at a couple of weeks ago). I know that it’s a marketing ploy, and wasn’t overly surprised when the photographer took 5 different poses of my adorable offspring ;-), but it is going to be so difficult not buying them….sigh…really irritating as my sisters fiancee is a professional photographer, and really good at it, but we aren’t on friendly terms (not on unfriendly terms, don’t get me wrong, just not close).
Anyway, finished up there by 12, and went over to an out of town shopping centre to meet up with Kirsty Turned out the shopping centre has been quite seriously upgraded since I was last there – which must be over a year ago, as I haven’t taken Small I don’t think. Also turned out to be an expensive upgrade – there was a Mountain Warehouse shop which did children’s hiking boots…so that’s dd sorted out for camp then! Just as well, as the Clarks factory shop didn’t have anything sensible in her size.
After we’d also spent ludicrous amounts of money in a toy shop (though half of rrp) we tootled off to Kirsty’s house and had a lovely time, playing out in the garden, and then we stopped for tea. Lovely. Home, bath and bed.
