Thursday - 2 more Sleeps to Go

Today was sort the washing and Swimming Day.. Sort the washing because the kids have run out of clothes!!!!
... and Swimming because they love it and it wears them out!!!

Yesterday I had something of a micro-crisis.. had dinner planned- something I knew they would eat - and discovered that the oven...

...doesn't work

Yes - I know I've been here for 4 weeks, but this was the first time I had wanted to use the oven in all that time.... typical. First a decrepid washing machine and now a dysfunctional oven - i think this house is destined to make my life difficult!!!!

Anyway...

Swimming was great fun - hard work because it's difficult to entertain 3 children with the age range of mine - especially as the older boys wanted me to play games with them, and I couldn't leave Princess for a minute (remember the child on my last Unit..? - exactly..!). having said that - we did all play said game in the shallow end of the pool - and it was very very funny (I was the shark - they were fish, and therefore my food!!!!!) - Really hard work too - good cross-training, but mostly for the Upper Body!!!!!
Everyone is really tired now... which bodes well for a relatively early night. Which is just as well, because tomorrow is going to be very busy and long. Meeting my longest-standing friend and his family for the day - then popping to my sisters house to pick something up before trundling down to Wales so that my Mum can see the children. And then drop them off at their Mothers on Saturday morning

*PHEW*

Oh - and my weekend will only just be starting
