Yesterday got off to a hectic start. J had come into our bed in middle of night after a nightmare. From that point on none of us got much sleep as there was a lot of tossing, turning & pulling bedclothes off other people. Basically he's just too huge for our bed now. But we all must have fallen asleep at some point because at ten to eight we woke up! Ten to eight! Help! Still, somehow after a mad rush J & I got to school on time although he was eating his cereal in the car.

Weather was a bit horrible - that sort of very fine miserable drizzle so what I decided to do was go shopping. We went to Hobbycraft in local town cos I've never been there & I bought some wool & a crochet hook as that's what old ladies do, sit & crochet. Then we went to large shopping centre. P was very patient which makes up for battlements & dungeons (see previous post). He wanted to buy me a watch but we couldn't find one I liked, my wrist is quite small so large designs swamp it. We got some nice chocolates though from Hotel Chocolat.
Today feel quite tired so have been lazing around mostly. J is on a school trip to Imperial War Museum to see Exhibition about Children in World War 2. Perhaps it'll make him grateful, perhaps he'll just eat his dinner wthout complaining. Perhaps he'll be grateful he's got so many toys & games. Perhaps...
Tonight the three of us are going to the pub next door for a meal which should be good. Hope P isn't stopped for pushing a wheelchair under the influence of alcohol on the way back.
Tomorrow the firework party of the century is happening & it's happening round ours, well ok we're having a few fireworks & Tim & Adam & their families & probably the people next door are coming round & bringing some fireworks & some food & we'll have a huge bonfire & bake some potatoes & it'll be fun! P's bonfires can get seriously scary so watch this space!
