Productive afternoon :-)

Little Miss Sensible arrived home after last nights party and sleepover, and then dropping off Fraulein at college for her enrollment stuff. Hadn't expected her the right side of lunchtime so we were all still in jammies!! Once we were all respectable again, me, LMS and Little Prince went out to run a few errands, leaving Drama Teen at home as we were expecting a delivery. The delivery arrived minutes after we had returned lol which is a good job as Drama Teen was worried about signing for the parcel!!!

This afternoon Little Miss Sensible took Little Prince out with her in the car to pick Fraulein up from college. Which meant I had an hour or so free, and rather than sit on the computer I actually got down to getting something productive done!! Amazing!! I finished cutting out the small samples for my Squishes, and finished making the wishes I had half made and then run out of bits for!! Well that was after spending ages trying to find where I'd saved the 'wish words' to on my computer, finally found them and printed them off. Then stuck and glued all the bits together to make the wishes, addressed the envelopes and they are ready to post tomorrow morning :-)

Drama Teen invited one of her school friends round for a sleepover (should be prosecuted under the Trade Descriptions Act - there's not much sleeping goes on!!) but failed to check if friend was expecting to join us for tea. This wouldn't normally cause a problem, but as I decided to start dieting again today - I was starving and desperate to eat!!! I was going to feed me, Drama Teen and Little Prince early and then feed the others once Mr Messy was home from work. In the end Little Prince was hungry and out of sorts and we had to get him his tea first. Then once Friend had arrived we discovered she hadn't eaten, but it was so near to Mr Messy coming home time we waited for him. I was getting increasingly grumpy and snappy!! I ended up making lasagne and chips for me, Drama Teen, Friend and Fraulein and Mr Messy and LMS had a chippie tea soon after! Not very organised really - but there are so many people here and I'm not into the swing of cooking for so many again yet!! I'll just get used to it and it will be time for LMS to go to university. Talking of which she got her accommodation allocation in the post this morning, which meant a frantic hour of form filling and returning said forms to the uni. She has been given the halls she requested, but is now a bit upset that she hasn't got in-room internet access, which she knew when she applied for those halls!!! She chose that particular hall after seeking advice from past students, and they all said this hall was the friendliest (many people share huge kitchens and you get to chat to lots of other students) and being shy she thought that would be better for her. Hopefully the lack of in-room internet access won't be too big a deal once she starts there. They do have wi-fi points on campus that she can take her laptop to - so hope that will be enough!!
