Boden meet Primarni

The kids broke up for the Easter holidays last Thursday, at nearly one week in to the two week break we have plenty to write on the "wall" at school so far this holiday, no I won't be doing photo's and captions I will just give a synopsis of what we have done.

Saturday Grand-dad took them to the pictures to see a 3D movie whilst I went to mums to spend a few hours with her for her birthday. Sunday my sister took them to see their mum which gave me a few hours break. Monday A was at a party so T and I had our tea out whilst A enjoyed the party. I forward planned for a change taking a plate to make sure hubby had a meal when he got home. Tuesday morning it was back to boot camp for me the girls came along and watched taking the mickey. My niece looked after the girls whilst I went to do my course, they then went for a sleepover at my sisters. Niece had very kindly made a huge dent in my mountain of ironing which was a lovely surprise. It is always double edged for me when the girls are away, the peace and calmness of the house is wonderful but then I miss them and feel a little lost when they aren't here. 

Today I had an appointment in Bridlington, given last weeks weather I arranged to go with a friend and her daughter, we could spend a day at the seaside whilst I nipped to do my appointment killing two birds with one stone. This morning the weather was atrocious, the lady I was due to see cancelled so a new plan was devised, we would go to The Fun Run, one of those indoor play areas that look like an industrial unit kitted out for kids to bounce off the walls, safely of course. Perfect for wet days, kids think it is heaven, it's my idea of hell, the noise is deafening, all these little people squealing is somehow amplified in these places. 

Once my ears have acclimatised to the noise. Food ordered that as the sign says "Food is made fresh to order, so may take some time at busy periods" we waited near enough an hour and half, the kids off and occupied, I'm occupied observing. Maybe about four dads in the whole place. It fascinates me how they seem to just zone out of all that surrounds them and either have conversations on their mobiles or read. Boden yummy mummy's feeding their children organic healthy snacks whilst sipping herbal tea, the Primarni mums giving their children those electric blue ice drinks whilst drinking diet coke. Of course there are what I consider the regular mums here too, the disparity between those not in the middle was very apparent and I caught the tale end of a spat between the two when one kid slapped another, ironically it was the Primarni mum who apologised the Boden mum being sniffy on behalf of mini Boden.

The home made food was worth the wait, the kids had a ball, we have something else to put on the wall, we will go again on a rainy day when I fancy a mummy people watching session. Johnnie Boden what have you created.
