Wet weekend

Saturday was a fairly busy day, me and Little Prince stayed at home while Mr Messy took the girls shopping. Little Miss Sensible needed some hiking boots and a waterproof jacket for her trip to CLAPA Camp as a volunteer helper. And Drama Teen wanted to get her best friend's birthday present - from Claire's Accessories where else!!

In the afternoon, I dropped LMS off at work, she was too tired to drive after a late night celebrating her friend's birthday. The stables attached to the cafe had some sort of event on, and the cafe was crowded and totally mobbed out busy all day. She was extremely tired when she was brought home by The Boyfriend. The Boyfriend is back from university for the Summer now so we will be seeing a lot more of him, which makes LMS and Little Prince very happy :-)

Later on Saturday afternoon we dropped Drama Teen off at Stagecoach and then went into town shopping. Little Prince was not impressed with this plan and made it clear (all afternoon!) that he wanted to go home and hated shopping. I bought myself a few of the longer, floaty tops that are all the rage at the moment - they will help hide the lumps and bumps until I manage to shed the excess! Out of the four I bought, one looked hideous and is going back another I liked but had a button missing so is going back and the other two are in my wardrobe waiting for appropriate weather to wear them!! Its been so wet and soggy this weekend that its not been warm enough.

Sunday was designated as tidy up day. Mr Messy decided to tackle the garden rather than indoors (strange choice given the weather!), but he hates tidying up so it was probably down to that! We dodged in and out of the house depending on the weather - there were some spectacular, sudden downpours!! We managed to get quite a lot of weeding done, all the pots on the patio emptied ready for new plants, the fence mended (but we need more fencing to finish it) and to empty quite a lot of the raised beds onto the waste ground next door. We are taking out the raised beds, as we don't have the time to grow veg like we planned and we could do with the space to put all Little Prince's slides/climbing frames. Once we've levelled the beds we are going to put loads of bark chipping down and move the slides/climbing frames or maybe buy a playhouse and put that there - not decided yet.



My friend with the newly placed little one sent me another picture and the little one is gorgeous :-) I'll have to get organised and send her present off tomorrow!
