Unexpected Shopping trip :-)

I thought I was in for a boring day, catching up on jobs round the house (which I HATE!!). But I was collared by my friend on the way home from school, while she was delivering the post (she's the village postlady) to see if I'd like to go to a nearby town shopping later in the morning. Shopping or housework?!?! Which would you pick?!?! Well it was shopping of course :-) I managed to get my Secret Pal gift, and will get that in the post in the morning - I can't tell you what it is as she might be reading lol. I hope she likes it!!

My friend got her Mother's Day present - dvd of Elizabeth I that her husband hadn't been able to get hold of in time for her. We had a lovely chat and lunch in a shop cafe, and generally had a great girlie time out :-) Friend's kids are at the same school as Little Prince so we made sure we were back in time to pick them up. Little Prince whinged most of the way home as he couldn't go and play with Friend's daughter (his on/off girlfriend!!) as we had to drop some paperwork off with our accountant. He cheered up once he realised we weren't staying for ages at the accountants and that he could go home for his snack.

Mr Messy was home early as he'd been out on a jobsite, so it was nice to have tea at a civilised time, rather than our usual 8.30pm-9.00pm. He is also on Little Prince bedtime duty at the moment, as we are trying to help Little Prince to see that Daddies can look after little boys just as well as Mummies can!! Not working so far, but we'll persevere :-)
