Gymtastic weekend on the cheap

Having had a couple of nights away with the EFG, I am now going away overnight with the YFG as we have to be with gymnasts from the club for a competition in Hertfordshire early tomorrow morning - so the Head Coach has paid for a room for the YFG and I in a hotel so that we don't have to travel at the crack of dawn tomorrow.  We'll be leaving the EFG in charge here, with the FH, and I think that they will be fine.  The EFG has plenty of work and revision to be catching up on, and the FH is a lot happier and has slept much better since I have been home from Aberdeen.  All his problems seem worse to him when I am away, so I just hope he can manage one night - we should be home by about 6.30pm tomorrow evening.

You would not believe the farce with my car window - last Monday the Autoglass chap turned up with the wrong colour glass, and then another one came yesterday afternoon, with glass the right colour but for the front window not the rear, so consequently the wrong shape!!  He is coming back Sunday afternoon and promises to bring the right stuff! Certainly hope the third time will be the lucky one....

I am so looking forward to Monday - to being home and settled and not having to think about going away again for a while!  Getting back to normal routines, and looking back at the month and seeing what we have achieved - the end of the month review will come round very soon.

Hope you all have a great weekend - and thank you very much for all the responses about the student life - we will have a little review of them all next week.

It's nice to go away now and then but you can't beat your own bed! Good luck in the competition x

Your problems with the car reminded me of when I dropped my cooker on its face (long story) and the glass fell out of both the grill and oven doors and smashed into a million bits. At the time, I had cooker protection so I ordered the new glass for the doors. When the repair man turned up, I knew right away, when he unloaded the van, that he had brought the wrong parts! It can just be a matter of one digit being wrong in the product number and you get the wrong part.

I hope you all have a successful weekend. Have to say the song, "It's nice to go travelling, but so nice to come home" always rings very true with me!!! Silly really, but home is obviously where our hearts are. There were several good paperback books in W.H.S**ths about Student cooking. It wasn't required for my 2, but I got the book for a friend of No.1 son when he headed off to Uni. He survived and is now quite high up the ladder of Mental Health nursing! Not sure it was ALL due to food!!! Have a lovely quiet day on Monday! The next month for me is manic!! Quilting weekend, our local quilt group exhibition, an unexpected, but very welcome guest stopping for ?-long, Easter then huge charity coffee morning, where I am the cake stall!!! Then AWAY!!!
