Catch up post - Monday

Today was a lovely relaxing day :-) I went to a Spa with a friend. We set off immediately after dropping off the children at school, and then left the car at her parent's house and got a bus to the centre of the town, where the spa was. We were booked in for three hours in the spa and a short treatment!! I found the spa bit, a bit too hot!! I could hardly breathe in some of the hot rooms!! And I didn't enjoy the ice room, where you get handfuls of ice and rub it on your body brrrrr! And there was absolutely no way I was getting in the ice cold plunge pool either!! My favourite room was the sauna, where it was more of a dry heat than a damp steamy one, and I found once I was used to it I could actually breathe in that one. I know it doesn't sound like it but I did actually enjoy myself lol. Our treatment was a salt scrub, the therapist rubbed grainy sea salt mixed with body lotion all over, to get rid of dead and dry skin cells. I have very pale skin, and the therapist commented on how quickly I went red with all the rubbing and scrubbing!! I still looked like a tomato when we left a few hours later!!! But my skin feels so soft and smooth :-)
We got back just in time to pick the children up from school, despite having the dad's on standby to get them, just in case! Mr Messy had to go straight off to a business meeting, he was VERY relieved that he didn't have to take Little Prince with him lol. Little Prince wasn't impressed that I wouldn't take him to the park on the way home, but there is a water main that is leaking nearby and most of the park is a quagmire, so there was no way I was taking my mud magnet in there!!!

When Fraulein came home, I asked her how her day had been and she said "horrible" but despite probing wouldn't tell me, Mr Messy or Little Miss Sensible (when she rang up) what was the matter. I hope she is alright and can sort out whatever it is! We'll see how she is on Tuesday!!
