6 April 2006

What a busy day! After I dropped the children off at school, it was straight home to tidy up, then Sam and I went to the post depot in Mill Hill to collect a parcel and post a letter, then we went to Topsy Turvy in Brent Cross to meet up with Issabelle and Olivia, the children played for a couple of hours while we had a natter and then it was back to ours for lunch, the children played in the garden for a while too, the weather was lovely and sunny but a bit chilly still. Unfortunately Issabelle felt a migraine coming on so after taking paracetamol she and Olivia went home. I picked up Jamie and Tessa from school and Jamie wanted a friend home and since he has a little sister about Tessa's age I asked if they both wanted to come. The children had a lovely time in the garden and played really nicely. Michael thankfully came home on time so I could go out shopping for a dinner party on Saturday. I got the shopping done and then home to Michael for dinner. I was so pleased because I felt so awful all day with this horrible cold. It is making me feel really stiff and tired.

Unfortunately this morning I got a text from Joanna to say that she and Mark can't make it on Saturday as Mark has a bug. On the one hand I am relieved as it means I don't have to go mad doing all the cooking today and cleaning tomorrow but on the other I am disappointed not to see them but we will see them another day. Still Joanna and I have arranged a lunch date so that is good.

Sam is lying on the sofa watching Thomas he is wiped out with this cold too. I am hoping he will have a nap today but knowing my luck that will be at 2.30pm when I collect Jamie and Tessa from school as they break up today.

Aagh I really have to crack on now with tidying up and cleaning even though I so don't want to. I just feel like lying on the sofa watching my tapes and DVD's and dozing off if I feel like it but not allowed to now with Sam at 2. Roll on nursery time.
