Saturday

It was a pretty rude awakening this morning. I could hear a car stopping outside, we always have the window open, and wondered who it was. I then heard a knock on the front door so quickly got up and went downstairs. A delivery man was at the door and smiled and said 'sorry' and please can you sign here! I must remember not to order things from Amazon on a Friday. They are so efficient they deliver fist thing Saturday morning!

Jon was up by this time but I went back to bed to try and let my body catch up with my brains rude awakening! Not the best start to a Saturday!

I did finally get up and had a shower before going down for breakfast. I opened my package and it was the lovely mood candles I had ordered. They look so real and have a hint of vanilla. Who would have thought you could use a remote control on candles! But it works. So pleased with them even if they did get me up at 7.00!

I went over to see Rene while Jon was getting ready. She is very happy with her garden and I took some photos on my iPad but my battery went flat so she hasn't seen them yet.

She has been going on about making a potato, cheese and onion pie this week so today I peeled the potatoes and onion for her and chopped them up as it is very difficult for her. I hope she manages to make the pie and it is as good as she remembers.

I came back and Jon and I left to drive to Ely.

Ely Cathedral had the Christmas craft fair on today and the traffic was heavy. We tried a few car parks but could not get in so ended up going to Sainsbury's, which is new and very big, and parked no problem and went in for a coffee before doing our shopping.

Jane had asked me to get some nappies from Aldi, just across the road from Sainsbury's, as they had had very good reviews. We went to have a look around and spent five minutes laughing at the cookie jars that talk and we were very tempted to buy one.

Shopping done, and lunch bought, we returned to the car and fought our way through the traffic and headed to Jane's.

As we arrived Heather pulled in behind us also with a bag from Tesco with lunch in, double quantity for lunch.

Jane has done a lot of packing and the house looks bare so she is doing a good job. We had lunch and a play with Riley before he fell asleep. When he woke I had a lovely cuddle and sang some songs with him which he seemed to enjoy. He is so much easier now to hold and play with and he is so cute. I bought him a little monster sleep suit from the Halloween stuff from Sainsbury's sale rail and it is very cute.

Jon and I left so they could get on with sorting stuff from the loft. Jason can't do an awful lot due to his injured hand. Not sure how they are going to cope with the move.

We got back and I made a cuppa and sorted out some washing to go in the machine for Heather.

Kirsty popped in to see us and then went home for her dinner as she was tired. James is in Beijing till Tuesday so I asked her to come for dinner tomorrow which she accepted.

I cooked our dinner but Heather was tired after her big night out last night so after dinner she went up to her room and we watched X Factor. Stevie really needs to go.
