Sunday's happenings

Yesterday we all overslept, so Fraulein was picked up by her friend's parents before we'd even surfaced! She was spending the day with her friend's French exchange student (she speaks fluent French) while her friend had a prior engagement. I woke up to the anguished cry of Drama Teen "Will somebody get dressed and take me to the cinema?" Little Prince offered, but as he can't drive she wasn't too impressed with that idea!! Little Miss Sensible offered to look after Little Prince, so that me and Mr Messy could take Drama Teen. She was meeting her Young Man at the cinema and they were seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks, then we were bringing them both back to our house until after tea. Me and Mr Messy mooched round the nearby shops, before going to the supermarket to get a bit of shopping and pick up some cardboard boxes. However, you have to ring up and reserve your cardboard boxes the night before (!!!!) so we didn't get any. I'd hoped we could get quite a few to empty the old bookcases into, so that Mr Messy can build and install the new Ikea ones.
After the shopping we finally got a call from Drama Teen to say that they'd finished at the cinema, so we picked them both up and headed off home. Mr Messy then decided we should pick LMS and Little Prince up and take them out, as LMS wants a new coat (warm and waterproof but not as bulky as her current one). We saw the perfect coat in TK Maxx, but it was twice the price we were thinking of paying, so we didn't get it. We grabbed a few more bits from a different supermarket, bits the first one hadn't had. And also called in at Screwfix to buy lots of lightbulbs, so that we can finally replace the ones that have blown.
I had to take Young Man home after their tea, while Mr Messy cooked everyone else's tea (too many people to cook for at once lol). So I came home to a lovely roast beef dinner, cooked for me by my own personal chef - Mr Messy :-)
