Busy Day

Started the day early - thanks to firstly the postwoman, then Little Prince!! Well I couldn't have a lie in anyway, as me and Drama Teen were off to the beauty salon to buy some beautifuls as Little Prince puts it!! Although he then goes on to say that we are beautiful enough and don't need to go - oooh I love him :-) I have my eyelashes tinted while I'm there, its so much less faffing about than messing with mascara (and then having to remove it every night) and wearing contact lenses and mascara has never worked for me!! But despite my reluctance to faff with mascara, I need 'something' as I'm a natural blonde and my eyelashes look non existant without 'something'!! So this is my monthly vanity fix :-) Drama Teen has her eyebrows waxed and tweezed!! Having them done professionally is much better than her previous solution - trimming them with scissors EEK!!! When we got home Mr Messy, Drama Teen and Fraulein all got on with some of their homework, while me and Little Prince did some jigsaws, read some books, watched some tv etc.
After lunch I took Drama Teen to her first Stagecoach session of this term. She was looking forward to going as she had missed her friends. I dropped her off and returned home again, where I picked up everyone else and we headed out in the opposite direction to the other local big town. We had to go there as we needed to go to the Mobile Phone Shop to pick up Drama Teen's phone. We all have mobiles on contact, and have an annual upgrade (ie chose a new phone). Drama Teen has had nothing but trouble with the model she chose, and it was repaired twice and then broke again!! Mr Messy had had enough by this point and arranged with the Mobile Phone Shop to get her a completely new (different model!!) phone. It has taken over two months and countless visits and phone calls to the shop to get the new phone sorted out!! We are on first name terms with the lady dealing with the case, she even recognises mine and Mr Messy's voices over the phone!! Well today we finally picked up the new phone - phew :-) Mr Messy isn't too impressed as he says the phone looks like a reconditioned one, rather than the brand new one he was promised - a few minor scratches, and its not in its original packaging! But we decided that its taken so long to get this far, we aren't going to make any more fuss. UPDATE - Drama Teen doesn't like the new phone!! It has been roundly condemned as a brick and she hates it!!! She did cheer up when I suggested she ask for the phone she actually wants as a Christmas present :-)

While we were in the town, we called in one of our favourite cafes in the local art gallery - trouble was they were closing early due to staff shortages, so we didn't get to show Fraulein around the gallery. We did manage to have a nice cake and drink though :-) We also did a bit of shopping - including my dad's birthday cards and present, which is only two weeks late, so not bad considering how late it could have been lol.

We went straight from there, back over to the other local big town, to pick Drama Teen up again. Little Prince fell asleep in the car and looked adorable :-) But I think he looks adorable all the time :-) After we'd got Drama Teen we nipped into the supermarket to grab a few bits for tea, and then finally returned home.
Our day still hadn't finished!! As soon as we'd got Little Prince in bed, me and Mr Messy went back to the supermarket to shop for tomorrow's farewell barbeque. Today has seemed like a long day!! Wait a minute - it didn't seem like a long day, it WAS a long day!!
