She's here and she's lovely :-)

Well Fraulein has arrived :-) We sat her down for an immediate lunch, as she hadn't eaten since arriving yesterday!! The person who was supposed to meet them at the airport was late, then there were transport problems getting to where they were staying. So when they finally arrived there they were so tired they just wanted to sleep. This morning they had to board their coaches early, and had no time for breakfast - not that any was provided (!!!) just packets of crisps!! That is just dreadful organisation, and I can't imagine how the exchange organisation gets away with that!! We had planned on eating as soon as she arrived anyway, so it worked out well, I'm just surprised the poor kid didn't keel over from hunger - she's so slim to start with!!

Now Drama Teen and Little Miss Sensible are introducing her to the joys of the Wii. Drama Teen has made a Wii Mii of Fraulein, but so far she seems reluctant (too shy probably) to play herself. Although she does seem to be enjoying watching the girls play. Little Prince keeps offering advice, but the game they are playing (Big Brain Academy) is a bit above his level, so his advice isn't appreciated at the moment!!
Mr Messy has managed to get Fraulein's suitcase up the stairs and into her bedroom - quite a feat given the size of it!! I suppose we shouldn't have been surprised really - this is a teenage girl's packing lol.
