It's a bank Holiday Weekend ~ Yippeeeee!!!!

It is a Bank Holiday weekend here this weekend, which means no work for 3 WHOLE DAYS!!!!!!
I really do love my job BUT ~ I really really do love days off too!!

In that age old tradition of a Bank Holiday weekend, the weather has taken a turn for the worst (just wouldn't be right if it was sunny ha ha!!!). This morning started as any other Saturday, getting my darling little daughter to ballet and tap classes at some ungodly hour (for a weekend!!). We got all the way to the class before I noticed that Lauren had her leotard on backwards and was close to revealing parts of her that I am sure she wouldn't want on show in her dance class!! (I know she is only 6, but a girl needs to keep covered over in ballet class ~ tee hee!!).

When all the classes were over, I made a quick dash to the supermarket (which was madness ~ for gods sake it is only a Bank Holiday, why does everyone seem to be out shopping like a food shortage is on the way?????). It was horrible and I hated every minute of it, but ~ we were in desperate need of toilet rolls (there is a little fairy in our house that magics them away!!). It took me ages and I was not in the best mood when I eventually got out (think it must be PMT!!).

I had every intention of taking the kids out this afternoon, but decided that I really needed to get the bedrooms sorted out!!! I have been wanting to paint for ages but the children have so much stuff that it has been an impossible task!! I recently managed to rent a garage for storage, so most of this afternoon was spent emptying the bedrooms into the garage!!!!

To say that I am tired would be incorrect I AM EXHUSTED!!! We started at 12.30 and did not finish it all until 5.30pm. There was so much to box up and move and because it was a last minute decision, I had not pre packed anything. Luckily my friend Jane helped me and we have all but cleared the rooms. I actually think that it looks fantastic, it is so tidy and there is no mess ~ if I thought the children wouldn't kick up the mother of all stinks, I would leave all their toys, books, teddied, jigsaws and other assorted bits in the garage FOREVER!! (I am a mean mummy ha ha!!). Luckily for them it is only a temporary measure and when all the painting is done, they can have all their junk, oops I meant all their lovely treasures back!!!

Tomorrow is meant to be wet, so sounds like a good day to paint. I am going to drop Dan at his Judo and then dash to the DIY store and buy the paint and hopefully not get side tracked with all the other stuff in there (I love DIY shops and I usually buy stuff that I really do not need!!).
I want to put shelfs up in the kids bedroom for their books and bits so I may look for them too!!

Well, I am aching in places that I never knew I had ~ lugging all those boxes up the path to the garage has done me untold damage (ha ha!!), so I am off now to watch the Eurovision Song Contest (I Love it!!!!)........I know we won't win, we never do, but what the heck!!! some of the songs are hilarious and god knows I need a laugh this evening!!
