Friday

Yesterday was a mad scrabble around getting the house tidy (ish!!). Getting the last minute bits of shopping done AND wrapped!! And we had to get back to Little Prince's school in time to walk over to the Church for the school Christmas service, we barely made it lol. Mr Messy said the village church was wonderfully warm when he was there photographing the fake wedding, but it wasn't then, it was freezing!! I was so glad I'd put my snuggly warm coat on, which I kept on for the whole service! When it had finished we could take Little Prince straight home, but my friend Post Lady invited us all round to her house for a chat, so we went there instead. Well we dropped Little Prince on the way past then went round to school and got the rest of the Christmas cards and teacher's Christmas present out of the boot and delivered those and then went back to Post Lady's house. Little Prince was invited to stay for tea and after a discussion between him and his friend over whether tea would be better there or at our house, he decided to stay. Me and LMS went off to collect the car and go home to let Drama Teen in, as she had a non uniform day at school and had taken a different bag with no door key! We had been home a few minutes when she arrived home, the trouble was she had finished school early and had been at a friends house!! She'd told me she hadn't got her door key, but forgotten to tell me that she finished school an hour early!!! Oh well at least she could go round to her friend's house and knew roughly what time we'd be back from Little Prince's school.

Me and Drama Teen went off for a drive round the village delivering Christmas cards before going to pick Little Prince up. I then helped LMS get fastened into her fancy corset top she was going out in, and waved her off. I tried to get Drama Teen to tidy her room, ready for our guest arriving tomorrow, but didn't get very far. When Mr Messy got home he spent quite a while emptying his office and taking down the shelves etc, although he has hurt his back and couldn't get all the boxes into the attic and they are decorating the landing! He then had to get all his camera gear ready as he is photographing his first wedding tomorrow. He seemed quite chilled about the prospect and I hope it goes well for him.
