me and carpetbiter1 had a boy-free after school cafe session with large slices of cake and carpetbiter1 earwigging the conversations around her.

we cycled from school on the tag along (like having a kids bike stuck on the back of an adult bike but with the front wheel missing) with the orange flag waving about in the wind. i always keep a beady ear out to hear if i'm getting enough pedalling from the back - you can hear when they're free wheeling..although a few weeks ago i failed to spot carpetbiter2 standing on his seat while we cycled down a busy road)

we spent her book token on books about ponies (not too sparkly or pink which is good) and i tried on a vintage dress which made me laugh but didn't have the readies to buy it. if i am still thinking about it on thursday, i might have to go back.

otherwise the hygenist told me i brush my teeth too well and i enjoyed hot desking.

.......and we've just ended the evening with me snarling at carpetbiter1 for re-appearing 10 mins after she was put to bed claiming not to be sleepy. naturally this was after several bouts of tired weepiness earlier in the afternoon. arghghghghgh.
