Saturday

February 19, 2011 by Susan

So we are onto Saturday in my weekly diary.

It was misty and raining first thing on Saturday morning so we opted not to do the bird walk. Girls did paper round and then dripped around. I was up and started tidying up and listening to R4/7.

We the did cleaning hour. We have for the last couple of months been spending an hour on a Saturday all cleaning. We set the timer and everyone went off and cleaned and tidied. Two horrid jobs needed doing the draining board drainer needed cleaning out and I needed to clear out the the deep fat fryer. So the children all have jobs to do during this time too so I guess that’s the domestic servitude that Mr Badman seemed to think we were keeping the children in!

Once cleaning hour is over we try and have a treat – today it was chocolate cake and a Bailey’s latte!

Then Martin worked on the van and I prepared the dinner and I have no idea what the children did.

Off to Newport for Roundabout Exchange, a trip to B&Q ,and to a wool shop for bigger needles.

Home again and fish and Chips Hairy Bikers style with Jonathan practising diablo in the garden.

Then Rebakah dashes back out again with Martin to go to her singing lesson and the rest of us clear up the dinner dishes and settle down – me with blogging and Radio 7 and the kids with Just Dance on the Wii.

Off to play games with friends later – Rebekah is hoping we will play demons!

Tomorrow Rebekah is leading the music in church tomorrow – we wondered how we could get her there early and still maintain the idle feeling we want on a Sunday – so we thought we’d take her there and then go out for breakfast before church – so we’ll be off to Wetherspoons before the service!
