Whoa..............Busy Week

Well my little one started school this week, very monumental day! Bless him he was only just 4 years old last week. Like his Mum though, he is a total nutter with way too much to say for himself so he is taking it alllll in his stride. Alan and I went to pick him up and he escaped early! Let me explain, he is only in school from 8:55-11:30 for the first week and a half - I know!!! Tell me about it!!! When I was a kid it was like - here you go see you at 3:30! Anyway don't get me started cos I do work you know!!!! I don't get chance to play with gorgeous paper 'n stuff all day (more's the pity), so I have had to do some serious juggling whilst our UK "nanny state" deems it necessary for my child to spend a few hours here and there at school for the next 4 weeks - it's been a bit of a nightmare sorting it all out, but hey ho, that's life"

So - back to the escapee!! His school has a small part of the playground fenced off so the little blighters stay safe. The idea is that they get them all sorted with their bags and stuff , lead them through their classroom and through the side gate to line up towards the gate. Well not my kid - he's in the cloakroom, spies Alan and I waiting for him through the glass door and makes his way outside! Not bad initiative for the youngest kid in school, so you gotta hand it to him. We did march him back in to join the others though! Meanwhile he has also lost his school sweatshirt and chucked his snack box in the bin................what can I say??

He's off camping in Wales with his Dad for 2 days and I am blessed with a quiet house.......................decisions, what to do? Get drunk? Do housework? Watch a film? Go shopping?

Well none of the above I decided to "gut" my craftroom. I have knocked out the 1980's fitted cupboards and am well on the way to getting my "dream room" - more on this tomorrow. In the meantime, I think I overdid the action and my back is killing me...................................
