More School Shopping

Dropped Drama Teen off at her workshop again this morning. Then took Little Prince to the local uniform shop, to sort out school trousers. They had he right size and style in stock, so I bought them all - all 5 pairs!!! I have a feeling that now he will be able to play on the school field, we will be having quite a few muddy knee days!! So the more trousers the better!!!
Heard from the Teenage Wanderers and they are just on their way to Amsterdam, for their last day on their mega holiday. They are staying in the posh hotel I booked for them tonight, rather than grotty student hostels :-) I bet Little Miss Sensible will appreciate the comfy bed and hot shower :-) Just hope she doesn't get too comfortable and manages to get up in time for their flight HOME tomorrow. I can't wait to see them, and neither can the rest of the family :-)
UPDATE: The Teenage Wanderers got to the hotel, and on checking in were offered an upgrade for just 35 Euros, which of course they took. They got to their SUITE and its gorgeous - jacuzzi and sauna!!! Little Miss Sensible is thrilled to bits :-) They check out tomorrow at 10am (to go on a tour of Amsterdam) so I hope they are making the most of the luxury, but not getting TOO used to it lol!!
UPDATE: Little Miss Sensible has decided to recall her English exam papers to resit them, as it is driving her potty missing a Grade A by two marks!! I wasn't at all surprised to hear that is what she wants to do - she's a perfectionist!

Hi Rosie,

Wow, you are organised - want to come and help organise me?!?!

I think I've just about finished for Little Prince now - apart from the dreaded nametapes!! Then next week, when Drama Teen isn't busy all day I've got to get her sorted out too! I'll be so relieved once its all finished!!

Love
Janet

Hi Rosie,

How can you resist that lotus flower coat :-) I was out shopping for a friend's birthday today and ended up with a fairy for MeiMei's room :-) It helps me feel that she is real, I think.

Love
Janet
