Today was considerably less relaxing than yesterday! Harriet had a voucher which meant that were we to spend £50 at Sainsbury's today we would get 12p/l off petrol, which is too good to miss really. Because of two events in the local area we got stuck in the most ridiculous traffic. Resulting escapades included reversing down roads to get out of queues. Once we actually got to Sainsbury's, spending the £50 was tricky as we are going to Paris next week and so we don't want to leave the house full of food! We ended up with a LOT of Diet Coke, drain cleaner and loo roll, and got quite a few odd looks.
We then had to peg it over to get Maia in order to take her to a birthday party, at which point we realised we had forgotten to eat or drink. After a sandwich and a game of "Chase Lucy" for the children we headed BACK to Sainsbury's and ended up getting fuel in both of our cars (this is a good point to note actually - up to 100 litres, Sainsbury's will allow you to use money off vouchers on a number of cars' worth of fuel! Tesco's, however, do not) for £1.19p/l, which we we pretty pleased with really.
We headed back to the party for another 40 minutes of "Chase Lucy," which in my opinion is one of the worst games ever. The children seem to enjoy it though. There's something dangerous about being between the ages of 16 to 23 when around small children, they stick to you like magnets and think you are wonderful. It's good for the ego boost but very tiring! I remember being a massive pest myself at times, so I suppose I should do my bit for them.
We ended the day with sausages in the garden. Another friend of Harriet's had come over with her children to drop off her dog who we are taking care of for a few days so we had the paddling pool out again!
It was all very hectic but a lot of fun!
