Personal Waste Activated

After all the boys (Grandad excepted) left for the day, Grandma, Grandad and I left to get everything on our big list. While we were getting ready Grandad read a gardening book by Bob Flowerdew who said that comfrey should be 'activated' by using our personal waste. Right, Grandad set up a loo next to the compost bin!!!

First stop was the Police Station where I handed in my letter to get a police check for volunteering at the school. Next we drove to our local town where we popped into the Thrifty Store.

We got a Monopoly set for Small for $2 and a Bakugan Tin for Smallest which should have been $16 but we got it for just $1. BARGAIN. We walked to the coffee shop where we had and drink and a 'little muffin'. Then we visited the bank, collected pumpkins and walked around the Consignment shop where I haven't visited since Moo asked to buy a rug, waited for them to move all the furniture off it and then changed her mind when it was too high a price!

Both Grandma and Grandad wanted this rocker and stool but Huffle said NO!

Walmart, Dollarama, Winners and Canadian Tire was next. We nearly had to put a call out for Grandad in the tire as we lost him (nothing new there then!).

The last two shops on our list was Home Depot where we were looking for Peat Moss - "no, we've put that away" was their response several times. Not too helpful. We went to a garden centre but they had sold out. On the way out I reversed onto the main road and drove on the wrong side. I knew something was amiss but couldn't work out what until Grandad said "you are on the wrong side of the road". We were at a major junction as well!!! Whoops, don't suppose I will hear the last of this!

Eventually we came home, realised we had missed a meal and sat and had tea and toast and waited for the boys to come home. They were very happy to see their massive pumpkins and we sat and discussed designs. While Grandma played cards with Smallest and made the kids dinner, Grandad and I went and picked up a wardrobe from BoingBoing in the Hamlet. He managed to manoeuvre it in the car and Huffle picked up the drawers (though I wasn't supposed to buy them).

After the kids dinner we played the new monopoly (Smalest said one of the properties was called Vagina Avenue - we checked it was a Mis-pronunciation and not a naughty version). It seemed to be a brand new set and never used and we set it up and as we started playing we realised there were no tokens to use so we had to use them from another set.

Huffle took the kids to Cubs and Beavers where they both carved pumpkins and made a lovely job.

Clever boys

The kids went to bed and we all played cards. I posted this before I won we finished so I I don't know who won.

Night night.
