The HSE...

have made it compulsory to wear Hi-viz vests when playing Gruffalo Snakes and Ladders. What? You mean you were unaware of this ruling?

C was dropped at N&P's mid-morning. W and I continued on to Sainsburys for petrol and ended up buying other stuff as they had 25% of clothes and we randomly bumped into missymoo and her brood of four on the hunt for halloween stuff. We must organise a proper meet up when the kids are in school I think.

Home for lunch and then playing with birthday presents before heading into Hitchin to pick up my mended engagement ring, then Carys and head on to the dentist. Never again will I book dentist appointments for half term. It was absolutely manic, but thankfully only running a few minutes behind.

Tiredness kicked in with W at tea time. He had been woken at 6 by his sister, but after a meltdown (and three near falls into the toilet and Mummy and Daddy both trying hard not to be seen laughing) he went to bed quite well, as did C. now to decide what to do tomorrow...
