Quiet Day

Little Miss Sensible and The Boyfriend's plan didn't quite go to plan!! They were asleep when their friend finally arrived (2.30am!!) to deliver the book, and were awakened by a text message to say he had tried to deliver but no one answered the door!!

My copy arrived safely this morning, brought bright and early by our village Post Lady, who was quite surprised that she had to get me out of bed to answer the door - she thought I'd be ready and waiting!! I immediately started reading and have virtually read all day long, with short breaks for food/drink/toilet!!!

Little Miss Sensible had offered to look after Little Prince this morning, as she was at work after lunch, and would pick her copy up from friends house on the way home. Drama Teen was upset that she would have to wait so long to read, so persuaded Mr Messy to take her to the supermarket to get yet another copy!! It didn't go well - they only got so far and had to turn back as the road was closed and there is no other way round! Cue one very upset Drama Teen. Hero of the Day (Little Miss Sensible) offered to go and get her copy from her friend's before work - happiness restored :-) I promised LMS that I would finish my copy by the time she was home from work, and I was only about half an hour late!!!

Poor Little Prince has spent most of the day complaining how quiet it is and moaning that no one (except daddy) will play with him. Which did make me feel extremely guilty, but didn't stop me reading - what an awful mum :-( I did give him an extra long and extra bubbly bath after his tea and let him play and splash for ages. Which also gave the girls chance to read in relative peace!!
