No more questions from our LA!!

I've spent the afternoon, well most of the day to be honest, checking my emails obsessively! And I've not heard a THING from our Local Authority about our dossier documents! I'm hoping that this means they haven't had any problems, and it doesn't mean that Admin Lady got caught up doing other things and hasn't got round to it! Especially as she isn't in work tomorrow!! I wish they'd let me know and not just leave me in suspense! I can't ring them again tomorrow as I don't want them to think I'm pestering and as Admin Lady is the one dealing with it, there's no point ringing anyway! So everyone keep your fingers crossed that all the documents and letters are now written and compiled into our dossier and that it is sent to the DCSF early next week!!
The kids have spent the day camping in the lounge!! The weather has been wet and extremely cold and they were bored, so I suggested the play tents! I didn't think Drama Teen (our sophisticated 14 year old young lady) would be that interested - but she's had a great day too! They had their lunch as a picnic in the tents, and then later in the afternoon they comandeered all the dining room chairs and a couple of blankets to make a connecting tunnel between the two play tents!! There is a huge (9 year) age gap between Drama Teen and Little Prince but they do (mostly!) get along really well and play together quite a lot, and its so lovely to see :-)
This evening we went to the station to pick up LMS, who is visiting for the weekend from university again. She has come home to go to the hairdressers to have her hair restyled and coloured (from a mousy brown to a dark brown) ready for her Disney Summer Job interview. I don't care why she's here lol, I just love having all my family together :-)

Mr Messy is going to be very late home, so we aren't quite all together yet! He has been out with the people from his office as the boss is leaving today. He's just rung from the station and said he had a great time, talking about work was banned and it was very relaxing to be able to socialise with his work colleagues. He is working very hard at the moment, both at his full time regular job and getting everything in place for his new photography business, so he needs (and deserves) some time to relax and I'm glad he had the chance, even if it was only for an evening :-)
