No BBQ here after all. I can't remember the last time we had one actually. The idea always seems better than the doings.

OH THATS A SHAME
Yes, we're ready to go the minute we get some sunshine, though. So maybe next spring... 
Today is extremely soggy. There were plans to go to the coast for some beer and chips but... well, we can't be arsed. Total apathy has invaded the batcave.

We're still awaiting the duaghter's return... minus her bloody phone
...so just added 'collect new sim card' to the To Do list for tomorrow... think we will probably miss our plane...
At least all we have to worry about is new PE kit and school wellies! (I know, my turn's coming... 
)
Sometimes apathy is good, bats. Relax into it and try not giving a toss for a few hours - it's good for you!
(((((((KJ)))))))) - hope whatever it is resolves itself without too much grief.
Here it's been a busy couple of days. Swimming again on Sunday afternoon; Melony's making good progress and Mr M and I are taking it in turns to do a coiple of lengths and play in the little pool with M.
Aftrewards we got chatting to the gymnastics instructor - herself was glued to the window of the room where they were practicing - and found out she's old enough for the beginner's course. Ten weeks for £37-50, 45 min per session. Bargain, I reckon, so I'm going to give them a ring tomorrow and get her on the waiting list. Even if she's rubbish it'll be a good experience for her, and it's something different.
Then today we've taken it in turns to declutter the spare room/office which is going to be the Big Girl's Bedroom. I got to go out to the park, Mr M got to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks. I won!

I hope Sad made it onto the plane!
Your long weekend sounds fab handy.
KJ - good vibes travelling your way, the de-stressing kind.

That's a pretty old can of beer.
KJ laughs in the face of Use By dates, jra!
I'm getting a bit sick of decluttering... but we're nearly there!
To be fair we haven't really had a proper bottom out since Melony arrived three years ago (!), and what with us both being a bit squirrelly and all there's a fair bit of clutter to "de-".
The end is in sight, though. M keeps asking when we can start painting - patience not her strong point...

In my head, she's having a very pink room with lots of glitter. Don't take this fantasy away from me handy. In fact, next time I visit I'm not allowed upstairs, right.

I wasn't laughing 2 or 3 days ago, in the middle of the night.
I'd been heroically using stuff up, and I think what did for me were 2 tomatoes, the 3rd one had gone squishy, so I rinsed the other 2.
Biblically, I was passing through the eye of a needle.
Poor KJ
batty, you'll be delighted to learn that the room *is* going to be pink (M's choice), and with Disney Princess stickers and a fairy stencil. And there may well be glitter. All of it her choice; I'll just close my eyes!
