I was really looking forward to Sunday, as Little Miss Sensible was coming home for Sunday lunch, on the way back to university after visiting The Boyfriend at his uni. Trouble was Mr Messy was on call as senior support on a huge deployment happening over the weekend, and all through the night he was getting calls and messages - neither of us got much sleep. Little Prince then decided to wake up even earlier than usual, as he was excited at seeing his biggest sister! I got up with Little Prince and after breakfast we just slobbed on the sofa, when Mr Messy woke up he found Little Prince playing and watching TV and me comatose on the sofa! We had a LOT to do so unfortunately I had to wake up :-( Went off to the supermarket to buy meat for the Sunday Lunch, planned on chicken and ended up with pork as that's all they had left!! Then went off to the train station to pick Little Miss Sensible up, got caught in road works and ended up being late, but I had been extremely naughty and rung her while sitting in traffic, so at least she knew I was on my way.
Once we had battled the traffic back home again, we had a lovely lunch and Little Prince totally ?? his big sister, and they played and read books for an hour - its lovely seeing them together :-) This gave me a chance to check how Drama Teen was getting along with tidying her room, and packing her suitcase ready for her school trip to France. The packing was going better than the tidying!! Fraulein had had enough of doing her homework and decided to help Drama Teen with her tidying - and Fraulein is a very neat and tidy and ordered young lady!! Look out Drama Teen!!! Between them they managed to make quite an impression on the tip, I mean the bedroom :-)
All too soon it was time for Little Miss Sensible and Mr Messy to load up the car and set off back to university. Me and Little Prince had been planning to go with them, as we haven't seen her room yet, but due to Drama Teen's trip setting off tonight we couldn't go. If we had got caught in traffic on the way home and not got back in time, Drama Teen wouldn't have been able to go on the trip. Probably because I was over tired to begin with, the fact that I wasn't going with them, and won't get a chance to see the room for another month made me so upset, I cried :-( It was VERY hard waving them off. Will this ever get any easier?
I then took Drama Teen off to the shop to buy her some snacks for both the journey and during the week, as she is quite a fussy eater and might need some topping up if she doesn't eat much of the meals provided! Fraulein was a star and agreed to look after Little Prince while we are out, which made the trip a lot quicker lol. Once back from that Drama Teen and Fraulein did some more tidying, while I kept Little Prince entertained and out of their way!! His help wasn't much appreciated lol.
Once Little Prince was in bed, us girls had a trashy TV night - we watched 'Are You Smarter Than A Ten Year Old?' (the answer is no!) then an episode of 'Wife Swap' and as usual neither of the families portrayed came out of it smelling of roses! Then we watched a few episodes of Billy Connolly's World Tour of the UK, very very funny :-) Drama Teen was in stitches watching it, although Fraulein was a little more straight laced and didn't laugh quite so much!! She couldn't quite believe that someone could get away with saying those things on TV!!
Mr Messy arrived home in time for the midnight dropping off of Drama Teen at school for her trip, him and Fraulein took her and waved her off (Fraulein had asked if she could go, so I had to stay home and look after Little Prince). Mr Messy was livid when he returned, as he (and all the other parents) had overheard the teachers in charge talking about Drama Teen and guessing that she wasn't going to turn up as she was so disorganised!! She was already on the coach waiting, but the teachers had been too busy gossiping to notice she had got on - even though they had ticked off her friend as being present and they got on the coach together!!! He is threatening to complain to school tomorrow, and I don't blame him. Fine if that is the teacher's private view of my daughter (I do agree with them) but to gossip in front of all the parents about it is not on!!
UPDATE: We have received a text from Drama Teen to say they have safely arrived at their hostel :-) And that she will keep a diary and tell us all about it when she returns :-)
