Blurb for today

We let the girls have a long lie in this morning - just wish Little Prince would extend the same to me and Mr Messy lol. And once they were all up, breakfasted, dressed (and it was past lunchtime by then!!) we took Little Miss Sensible and Fraulein to the supermarket. We wanted Fraulein to tell us what sort of things she likes/doesn't like to eat, what sort of things she would take to college for a packed lunch etc. And although she was shy and shrugged a lot, she did manage to tell us what she really didn't like, which is quite brave of her since she only arrived yesterday :-)

She helped put everything away once we got home again, which took quite a while as she hadn't got a clue where anything went. She asked if there was anything else she could help with so I set her and LMS off emptying the dishwasher. Fraulein seems very eager to help out - hope the kids learn something from that attitude lol.
We had planned to have a roast beef, traditional Sunday Lunch yesterday, but Mr Messy was too tired to cook it, so we had pizza instead. We had Sunday Lunch today instead, Fraulein pronounced it delicious but couldn't eat much, she seems to have a very tiny appetite, no wonder she is so delicate and birdlike!!
This evening LMS, The Boyfriend and Fraulein have gone out to a party thrown by one of LMS's friends. Fraulein was very nervous about going, as she won't know anyone, but all LMS's friends are lovely and they will look after Fraulein. I'm hoping she has fun and gets to know a few people. They are staying over at the friend's house and then LMS is taking Fraulein to college from there in the morning - so they have both been warned not to stay up too late!! Not that the warning will make any difference!!! But it makes me feel better that I've tried!! Fraulein is getting nervous about college tomorrow as she has to sit an English and a Maths test - she is dreading the maths one. We have tried to reassure her that it is nothing to worry about, and only for the college so that they know what level class to put her in - but she is still worrying!! Hopefully she will come back tomorrow evening a lot more relaxed as she will have already done the dreaded exam!!!
