Went shopping

I got a fright from the younglings this morning when I took them to nursery and school. My eldest and youngest were close to the road when I called for them to wait. They did not listen to me and just walked across anyway. Thankfully it is a very quiet road and there was nothing on the road at the time. My daughter though decided to walk back across the road toward me (even though I was telling her to stop) I got a big fright when  I saw a car reversing down their drive toward her. Thankfully the car was able to stop and I told her off for giving me such a fright. Thankfully she started listening to me but I need to find a way to make sure that they listen to me when out and about. Accidents happen in seconds and they need to learn that they need to listen to me and do as I say as soon as I have said it.

Thankfully there was an accident today and hopefully I can do something about it to make sure that it hopefully does not happen.

After I dropped them off I went home and I was able to relax a little before I went out shopping. My partner had his last day of his Christmas holiday, so I was able to go out and know that he would collect the twins from nursery (there normally is not enough time for me to go out shopping, as I am out and about so much taking and collecting younglings from nursery and school)

I needed to get new bedding that will fit our funky new bed that is due to arrive tomorrow. I am so much looking forward to it arriving.

I managed to get a duvet, base sheet and some new pillowcases. I think they look really funky. I will have to get another duvet cover at some point but that will have to wait.

While I was out I was able to get a couple of new lamps and a new toilet seat. The one we had was broken and the children were getting scared of going to the toilet as it kept sliding about.

I did not do much shopping as once I had got all of the bedding I became laden down, so all I managed was two shops before I had to go home. I did not even manage to get into my favorite shop (Poundland) I love it in there as it is great value and there is some really funky stuff there.

Though I was annoyed when I got home as when I went to get a light bulb for the new lamps only to find that they do not fit. Typical when I have lots of light bulbs in the house that they do not fit. It was an awkward fitting but at least I was able to find one light bulb. I am not too keen on the color of the light, so I am hoping to get another (less expensive) one at some point.

I saw one of my friends this afternoon. I have not had the chance to see her since before the holidays. It was also nice for my eldest to play with her eldest. She is not too far from her due date. I would like to get some shots of her wee one.

Ooooh I am so excited about my new bed arriving (LOL what a rock and roll life I lead)
