ten on tuesday 4th september 2012

1) Not quite sure why it never registers with me that its Tuesday - and this post  is due- until about 11.30pm.
Or even 11.54pm as it is now.

2) There are piles of where-to-put-it paperwork in our study now... a new desk and two new filing cabinets - or rather throwing out old desk and old filing cabinet - means I have all this stuff. Where the heck does it go/must I keep all of it? I seem to be moving it round and round... and not making much headway.

3) I decided to stop being bored and go out. :) So thats three nights out, two already arranged coffee meets and a whole bunch of gossip and chitchat to catch up at these :) woooo!

4) The downside to many children, is the amount of hospital trips. Not - thankfully, emergency type of trips, but those check ups and 'just routine' type ones.  Everybody is fine, thats the good part. The waiting and the parking.... is NOT the good part ;) I'm going to paint my name in one of the hospital carpark bays. After the amount of money I put in that carpark I think I have actually paid for it!!!!!!

5) Mollie started back at school on Monday. Daisy starts back Wednesday. I personally cant wait. Its too long off at once. News so far - Mollie has been put up a set in Maths, and Daisy was allowed the pinafore with a bow on. Pretty much how it rolls around here.

6) You might have gathered I'm having a party soon. I cant wait. However I would like it to get here soon, so I can stop freaking out about chair numbers, table centers, plant pots {dont ask} and other such details. All I need now is a lot {more} of orange ribbon, tea cups, play sand {dont ask about that either} and umbrellas...... and does anybody know if I organised table covers for the big tables? 

7) Ahhhhh...party guests. I swing between OH MY GOODNESS how will everybody fit? to OH NO NOBODY WILL COME!  I've got a whole bunch of RSVPs back.
and a whole bunch of we are keeping really quiet and not telling you if we are coming yet.....
Not to mention Mr Britguy has some invites on his desk he hasnt dropped off yet. 
I'm starting to seriously dream about the guest list. In a nightmare freaked out sort of way.  Lovely.  !

8) In fact the party is pretty much centre of my mind all the time now. Sign painting, chair ordering, nightlight shopping, batch baking, flag making,  kind of stuff. I am guilty of texting dear friends at random hours with a complete mad panic over something that seems VERY crucial at that moment. But is actually quite petty when I read it back... LOL 
Friends have taken to chanting at me.... it will be fine, everybody is coming, that will be plenty, sounds fab!  and must seriously feel like slapping me. I'll make it up to them. With cake and wine. :) :)

9) On top of this we are trying to sell our house, do the 'back to school' thing,  and I'm going away for a two nighter with some fab girlies straight after my party.  And the usual day to day stuff.  Just a normal week in the Britgirl household then....

10) October is going to seem really quiet.... might have to plan something! ;)

Gee, I think you must take up another hobby, you have too much time on your hands. ;) You're selling the house on top of everything? You're going to need that getaway after the party, just for sanity's sake!
