Busy Birthday Weekend



This weekend has been a blur. Worked from home on the Friday and I hadn't got a "chitty" so only had to do 4.75 hours to make up the time. Saturday morning was spent doing chores ready for Nate's birthday party, with a short break when Gill & GJ came round. It was really good to see them and Nate really enjoyed it.

Saturday Florence had to be taken to the first party of the afternoon (obviously after eating a cooked lunch). I picked her up (after eating a party tea) to take her home for a quick change and then attending Nate's party (and another party tea). Nate's friends were great and he had some great gifts. Tasha made a fine cake which everyone enjoyed too.

Sunday saw the actual birthday, and he seemed to have a good bag full of presents. He almost completed his collection of Bob the Builder toys (just Muck missing now) and he had some more brio Thomas the Tank items. After toiling for about an hour I finally managed to construct the mini trampoline!! Tasha had to go to long rehersal yesterday. The rehersals normally run from 2pm to 11pm, but there had been some last minute plea to try and change the times (to 11am) so that people could watch the Burton vs Man Utd match - which I thought was off. Tasha thought long and hard about doing this show on the basis that long rehersal was on Nate's birthday and to then be out for the whole day would be wrong. So she objected and thankfully the times were not changed so we could spend the morning together. In the evening I updated Tasha's webpage.

Got to work this morning and the building is falling to pieces!! The handle to the main office had fallen off, so I had to go round the back and themn open it from the other side and prop it open, and the new phone system isn't working again (this troubles me less as it means a quiet morning!!)
