Exchange student arrives tomorrow!

Since getting home from shopping we have all been frantically tidying, cleaning and sorting ready for the arrival of Fraulein tomorrow!! I'm not panicking - am I???? Yes I am actually - and when I panic, I make people tidy up!!! I was the same throughout our homestudy - just ask Mr Messy or the kids!!!

Mr Messy cleaned the bathroom, and even the loo - he's a lovely man :-) I sorted out the cupboard at the end of the stairs, which we usually just shove stuff in and jam the door shut!! So I dragged everything out and sorted it (loads more stuff for the tip and the charity shop) and managed to get all the suitcases that had been left in various places round the house, back in there. I got all the spare quilts into bags and put back in there too. And there's still room to spare :-) I also came across a huge box full of stuff that I've bought or been given, for MeiMei (dolls, toys, clothes, baby feeding bowls, bottle insulators) - I'd forgotten I'd got most of it!!! And I didn't realise how many Pandas I've bought over the years!!! Hope she likes cuddlies lol :-) Drama Teen cleaned the big patio windows, and dusted the lounge and hallway and she did an excellent job of both. Little Miss Sensible supervised Little Prince, they played together on the Wii and then read books together. Then she helped me get the last bits and pieces back into the cupboard.

Little Miss Sensible is out tonight with her college friends, who she hasn't seen for ages due to her long backpacking holiday. Me and Mr Messy are going to drop her off at the pub, where she is meeting her friends and then go to the supermarket and get food for lunch and Sunday dinner tomorrow (got to make a good first impression on Fraulein!!) and the last few bits and pieces for her room. When I was making her bed up, I found we only had really cheap nasty spare pillows - more like pancakes than pillows, so we need to get another one!! I also wanted to get her a small box of chocs to put on her desk in her room, just in case she hates my cooking!!!
