Malbridge House

Malc had Friday off so we had a few things to catch up on, car tax, bills etc, so that took up our morning. In the afternoon we packed some clothes and food and off we set for our caravan.

We spent the weekend in Mums back garden. Friday we went to the Bakers Arms for a meal. The children were pretty well behaved, it was lovely, Mum came with us, I had my cider, because I’m a Dorset girl after all.

On Saturday we woke about 9ish and spent the day mowing Mums front lawn and strimming round the back and clipping all the ivy along her back fence, it’s quite a big garden so it was quite a big job, even the children helped.

Mum went out with a friend on Saturday evening so we sat in her house until 10ish, having baths and watching TV, went into the caravan and Malc and I were up until 1am watching TV. You can see why I won’t have one now can’t you?

I also have a confession to make, it’s a bit like an AA confession. I feel dirty and sleazy, but here it comes. I watched Big Brother!! There it feels so much better to get that off my chest. When we had a TV I use to be glued to this programme, I can honestly say that I don’t feel I’m missing anything.

Sunday we got up late again, we had a bar-b-que at dinnertime, and lazed about in the front garden and then it was teatime, watched a bit of TV in the caravan and had an early night, all this doing nothing is quite exhausting!!

Had to go to the bank first thing this morning, all weekend we’ve been trying to transfer money from one account to another and they wouldn’t let us do it for security reasons, get to the bank and they don’t know why we were told that. That’s what happens when you customer call centre is in another country, say no more!!

We had lunch at Mums and packed up the caravan, none of us wanted to come home. We’ve had a smashing relaxing weekend, just what the Dr. ordered.

Malc has cut our back lawn and I’ve done some cooking. Early night all round I think!
