Monday

After getting Drama Teen and Little Prince to school me and LMS went Christmas shopping. I had been dreading it, convinced there would be nowhere to park and everywhere would be crammed full of shoppers - I was wrong :-) We had our pick of car parking spaces, and up to lunchtime the shops were very quiet! Amazing and brilliant!! We managed to get most of the stuff we needed and had time for lunch together before LMS had to get her train back to University. After seeing her safely on her train, I know she is an adult now, but I'm her Mummy and I just have to do it lol, I got a few more bits on the way back to the car and headed off back to our village to pick Little Prince up. I was a few minutes late and the children had already come out, but luckily Little Prince was stood with my friend Post Lady (who knew I'd been out shopping) waiting for me. While he had been waiting he and Post Lady's daughter had decided that she was coming to our house for tea. Luckily we had no plans for the evening so I didn't have to upset them and say no, and Little Prince and Friend had a great time playing on his computer and with his Lego.

After tea we got a phone call from LMS to say she had arrived back at University and was back at her house. Although there had been a mix up and her housemate had come to pick her up, but LMS didn't know this and had got a taxi! She also wanted Mr Messy to talk to her friend when he got home, as her friend is super impressed with LMS's iPhone and wants one herself! LMS was still feeling under the weather and as she has her interview to work at Disney next Summer, this week she decided not to go out and to stay in and keep warm. Very sensible.

We also got an email about the last piece of paperwork we are waiting for that our Notary needs to complete our dossier, and apparently it is now in the post. Our Notary is getting a bit worried about the delay as he would like to complete his work on our dossier before Christmas and he starts his Christmas break next week!!
