Another week of the summer holidays has passed. The weather, as is traditional for the children's holidays, has been awful and rain is the current theme! For some reason our house feels so very hot and Ben and I have both been checking the radiators to see if any have been turned on....it would seem that's its just the very silly weather and we are not living in a sauna!
Ben and I have both had the week off work and we have all had a wonderfully relaxing week. Very boringly we sorted out all our paperwork and managed to save ourself some money by jiggling things around - enough money to get my iPhone (the most addictive thing at the moment and will ensure i am miss organised come September when the children go back to school !!!) and Ben hd for the telly (not so essential I'm sure but he is very pleased with it). Also a quick shopping trip to Plymouth...well we didn't save that much money but we were still quite pleased.
We have had a quiet week sorting out the garden and messing about with the children and the dog (who is sporting another new haircut, this time without the mistake hehe).
We have next week of as well and decided today that we really must go and see Uncle Darren in Wales. We have found a campsite only 10 minutes drive away from where he lives so we can meet up and see his brand new baby. We are setting off tomorrow morning. We think it should take about 4 hours to get to him. Ben and Daren have already planned a fishing trip for tomorrow afternoon. Mum is coming with us which as it would seem quite fortunate as it looks like it will be me and her putting our tent up! We know we can do it as we put it up last time we visited Darren on our own but I'm sure this is mans work......building a shelter for is people!!!! only then can you go hunter gathering.
The children are very excited to see their new 'cousin'. Master Tom Chambers (Darren and Jo's baby) was born only a couple of weeks ago and is very very small. We can hear him when we are on the phone yelling like mad. It would appear that he does not like his bath time at the moment. He sounds so small. We cant wait to meet him. I got quite excited when we went shopping - its been such a long time since i shopped for little baby man things. Its all so fantastic and diddy, i had such fun.
Ben is now sat beside me writing a list of things we need to take with us tomorrow I haven't done a thing yet. I think i might make some buns in a minute..............I'll do the fun stuff.
