Well children broke up last week and already bored. Tried giving jobs out but all they want to do is either play footy, shop or go to the beach! Seriously it is really hard to entertain the family when there are so many jobs that need to be done. Hubby still driving the dumper or digger for the builders, which is fine, however that leaves me to automatically become taxi for daughter oh and walking cash machine and the boys just want a childrens entertainer!
I good friend came to stay last week for a few days it was just how i imagine it would be to have an au pair, he cooked, entertained and his son was a joy, now it's back to me.
I suppose things wouldn't normally bother me but tomorrow we go and choose a caravan which we will be using for partial cooking and sitting in two of the children will be sleeping in it whilst hubby myself and youngest child will be sleeping in one of the newly converted barns. Sounds good but winter will be here and there is no cover between barn and caravan, i also have to pack up the house yet again. We packed everything up January 2006 when we moved to Cornwall most of my stuff is still packed up and stored in the cow-shed i suppose if i haven't missed things in two and half years i can't possibly need them now. My wardrobe consists of one hanging rail i seem to wear the same old uniform, shorts, polos and fit flops or shorts polos and wellies so ball gowns redundant in cow-shed and for now i really don't miss that look.
So i need to motivate my children to poo pick for horse and donkeys, weed the veggies, collect the eggs to sell at the end of the drive. An ideal life i think i would have thought i was in heaven if i had grown up with donkeys and chickens, but this is our dream not theirs and at least they don't moan about being here.

Sounds like a summer holiday made in heaven to me but you're right - children don't always agree!
Hope the building work is going well and hope the weather stays good for you. A ballgown might come in handy for your celebrations when it's all finished:-)
By the way, adding photos to blog is simple pimple.
There's a little icon on the 'compose' page of Blogger(hover mouse over it and it says 'add image'). Click on it and gives you browse box to find your photo from files on your computer. Find your photo, click upload and voila!
Thanks Lane,
not just a pretty face eh? I'm blonde too but didn't get the brains, i occasionally get a bit of common sense flowing through.
I will try this weekend to edit blog, don't know about you but it takes a couple of weeks to get into the 6 week holiday thing! Routine? What routine?
TTFN

Hi, Frankie
Saw you listed on Lane's so came to have a 'nosey'.
Well done you on going for your dream, I bet your children will look back on their childhood with pleasure.
I'm sure you'll have read the Tangye books. Are you anywhere near the Minack Chronicles Nature Reserve?
Hope you found a great caravan.

Hi Frankie, thanks for popping over! We don't seem to have stopped yet this holiday, I thought we were meant to have a break! I'm sure your kids will appreciate it all some point, even if it takes a while! Sounds like you have quite a job on your hands though, with building and farming! Best of luck to you all.
thanks all for comments I am overwhelmed, a real incentive to get the hang of this blogging lark!
Think i can do the pictures Lane, thanks, but how do i get rid of the double chins, the bingo wings and as for your shopping trolley i could have given you bags for your Mum from around my eyes! When I have found the right piccy it will be shown.
Thanks again
Frankie
