Sunny day FINALLY!!!!


For the first time for ages (it seems like years!!) we've had a sunny, warm day with NO RAIN!!! Little Prince has been able to play in the garden and go down to the park with The Boyfriend and has been a happy, mucky little boy :-)

Drama Teen went round to her friend's house and they lolled around in the garden chatting, making balloon sculptures and listening to music.

Little Miss Sensible and The Boyfriend returned home from a friend's 18th party, held last night in a marque in friend's garden, around lunchtime and entertained Little Prince for me, so I got some more kitchen cupboards sorted and cleaned. What an exciting life I lead!! Later on managed to get Little Miss Sensible to sort out some more of her bedroom, as she now has just a week left to get the job done - she and The Boyfriend set off to go backpacking round Europe this time next week. She has admitted that she is scared by the fact that she is leaving home (for university) and remembers the last time she packed all her things in boxes to move here and how hard she found it. I try to reassure her, but realise it must be so scary for her - lots of hugs needed, probably from The Boyfriend not me lol.

Mr Messy and Drama Teen are off to Germany at the end of the week, to visit the family of our future exchange student. So I need to help Drama Teen pack, and impress on her that she doesn't need to take every single item of clothing/make up she owns!! They are flying with a budget airline, so have a very limited luggage allowance - that will be a challenge for her!! I also need to help her pack for her outward bound type holiday, which starts the day after they return from Berlin!! And we still haven't bought all the gear she needs!! Oh well, I'm sure it will all work out in the end!! Fingers crossed anyway!!
