i really don’t like blogging in such retrospect!! but here goes. we were out only a little bit late, but the whole world seemed to be going to tesco and the shell petrol station, and this added a fair bit onto our journey time! But we got to The Babs street, but it was still absolutely covered with snow, and a steep incline, and we so nearly got there before slipping back!
Anyway, we got there, and got gaming straight away! i think we might have played pandemic first, and then a beany game with the kids, a bit of children playing, lovely dinner and more pandemic and bean game then powergrid. i do love playing games, and although did a wild game plan, nearly won!! we only stayed up until 2.30!!
next day and we didn’t get up v early, well, BB had kept me up half the night, and on normal getting up time i had shoved her across to chris and had an hour of 2 more sleep. but eventually we got up, dressed, had a pancake brunch and set off for Melrose.
SO, thanks to The Babs and family for a lovely night stop.
the journey up to Melrose was v straightforward, with snow only when we crossed the border, and entertained by multiple brightkites all the way up. Very happy to arrive.
You are such a nice mummy, no way could i have avoided telling everyone about having to go all the way back to Babs’s house.
Oops
giggle!! oK then, in the interests of posterity, SB left her cuddly and sleeping blankie at the babs despite numerous reminders to get her stuff together. aS Babs rang before we had quite got to motorway, a parental discussion was had on the basis of pandering vs wailing and we went back and got said items. SB promised to be perfect for the rest of the week – she v nearly was too.
ROFL! no contest, attending to such needs as cuddlies is not pandering, it is essential to the continued sanity of parents!
