Friday 22nd Mar

Well the snow came last night and both the kids schools went for early declarations for the Easter holidays. It was on their websites by 7am this morning so we left the eldest to sleep. She woke up at 8.10am panicking that she was going to be late, until she looked out the window and realised what was happening.

Mrs P braved the weather and set off for work, though to be fair the main roads were OK this morning. The youngest settled down to his xBox, the eldest stayed in bed and I started wallpapering, again. Apart from a break to take the eldest to pick up her school books for the holidays, and then to make and clear up after lunch and then tea, I was wallpapering once again until about 8pm. To be fair to the eldest she did make me a cup of tea when I asked for one, and I do mean just one for the whole day. The rest I made for myself, but one is better than none. Interesting thing about wallpapering, by the time I’ve remembered the tricks, I’ve almost finished, and will have forgotten them for next time. I managed to misjudge some pieces in the middle of the afternoon, and had a slight panic in case I hadn’t got enough rolls, having originally thought I would have rolls to spare it now looks as though I’m just going to have enough, fingers crossed and mistakes permitting. The youngest spent most of the day on the xBox and computer, and the eldest once she got up did some homework then watched Friends for the umpteenth time, and did whatever teenagers do on their mobile phones. I hope to finish papering tomorrow, all things being equal!

Mrs P got home late and slightly shaken having had to drive back in much the worse of the days conditions, and then proceeded to tell us all about it for the next two hours! Having us all home safe on a night like tonight feels right. Fortunately the kids evening activities, cricket and work were cancelled, so jay-le-taxi stayed quietly at home.

Yours warm and dry

Jay
