There was a trolley dash and house clean, and even a little bit of secret sewing, all whilst the rain beat down outside...
We then headed out to the cinema. At 2 minutes to 5, having spent a frustrating amount of time in the ring road traffic, I managed to get into The Eternal Maker and grab a couple of spools of Aurifil 2021 just before they closed.
I have since spent a couple of hours of my life, that I will never get back, watching Epic. It was better than The Croods; it looked pretty, but there was no adult wit, and not a vast amount of story, but the kids loved it. I got to eat a bag of Malteasers.
So now back home, exhausted, watching a chap in Dubai zooming along on a Juki making flags, and I think that's my lot for the day.
Hoping to play catch up and take it a little easier tomorrow. Maybe.
What a day! For me it was eight hours out at a friends so five girls could play together. I came home with the two with the most attitude apparently and lost the will to live.
ReplyDeleteThe Malteasers are some consolation at least! Looking forward to seeing some more of your secret sewing :) x
ReplyDeleteDo hairdressers with those helmet driers still exist in the real world then?!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking. Haven't seen them this century. Have you fallen through a hole in the time space continuum H ?
Deletethank goodness for half term playschemes! *smug*
ReplyDeleteAh, my day was somewhat similar, starting with a trek to Meadow Hell with the diva on the quest for a prom clutch purse! Broken only by a brief interlude with the Ginger Monkey for a grab and go quilt exchange, hasty return to the motherland to collect grandma from the hospital and boot her out at the end of her drive. Tea cooking, and some fabric cutting with those very same fabrics :) bed and a lemsip to end my adventure !
ReplyDeleteAren't half terms exhausting! I'm exhausted reading Trudi's comment too! Phew! Glad I'm at work! Jxo
ReplyDeleteSounds like the kids had fun, and you did get to EM even if it was just a flying visit
ReplyDeleteBloody hell. Im knackered just reading yours and Trood's days! Glad we're not on holiday!
ReplyDeleteI bribed mine today with a new game on the iPod so that I could squeeze in some sewing time! But now little one is in my bed, writhing around with tummy ache, hence the reading blogs at silly o'clock, perhaps it's karma! At least you has maltesers! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust keep telling yourself that at least you got a bag of Maltesers. And Aurifil...
ReplyDeleteWait a second, you spent the morning lazing about the hair salon and the afternoon at the movies, bad movies maybe, but still the movies?? You definitely need a holiday if this is a bad day, I would so gladly trade you mine. I hope you have fun with your beautiful new thread soone.
ReplyDeleteWell I chain my boys to their books and headed out to drink coffee with friends. So glad I have moody, short tempered teens (not)! Di x
ReplyDeleteThose squares are great! That is wonderful fabric. Time with the kids is worth a bad movie...right?
ReplyDeleteHaha! And do you know the difference between inches and centimetres??
ReplyDeleteLets just focus on the sewing and chocolate! :o)
ReplyDeleteHope today is less stressful for you. I am taking teenager number two prom shoe shopping :-(
ReplyDeleteWhew! Busy busy! Your secret sewing really does catch my eye!
ReplyDeleteYou were watching The Apprentice! Laughing at Alison's comment :D Sounds like another movie to avoid! Enjoy your new thread.
ReplyDeleteSounds like all you needed to round off the day was a trip to Clark's (no apostrophe, perhaps?) for new shoes for the three of them ;o)
ReplyDeleteJeeze I'd never cope with being a parental. The Maltesers were a bonus but how on earth did you manage to go into Eternal maker and just by aurifil?!!!!
ReplyDeleteBusy day. Thanks for the heads up on the movie/ We might be taking the grandkids next weekend.
