Walletgate

This morning the four of us sat and watched a CakeBoss(2009) before breakfast. Smallest was looking for something new to watch and had been watching HalloweenWars about a group of people who made cakes out of cake, obviously, pumpkins and sugar craft. Huffle made breakfast for us this morning.

We had two games of Yahtzee, one of which we had five different Yahtzee's (five dice same number) resulting in huge scores.

Late morning, Huffle and I completely cleaned our bedroom. Under the bed, under the drawers, everything was moved and vacuumed and dusted. It definitely needed it. We are planning on putting Grandma and Grandad in there and we are moving to Small's room and he is going up in the loft. Sounds a huge move but we were going to look for a new double bed today for the loft so that we could move up there for the duration but Huffle decided to lose his wallet just as we were leaving to take Smallest to his Football Banquet. All plans had to be changed as we let Huffle take Smallest to his event (more on that later) and Small and I drove to the supermarket where we last paid for things to see if his wallet was there.

We spoke to the Manager who said they didn't have it. Then we drove to the bank to see if we could cancel his cards but it was closed. It was sooo hot today we had a 'Heat Alert' to say temperatures could get to 40* plus a 'special air quality statement' from Environment Canada stating asthma and cardiovascular sufferers should stay out of the heat until Monday a.m. Wow. I asked Small if he wanted to go and stand in McDonalds to get out of the heat but even Small declined (that's how much we hate it there!). Small and I sat in Tim Hortons (for those of you that know me well - TimHortons is not a place I go unless I need an emergency bagel, donut, toilet, coolness or frozen escape. Small had a CreamyChocolateChill and I had an iced coffee (no syrup or milk) which was disgusting. Bearing in mind I don't like their coffee, chucking some ice in it and giving it to me cold, makes it no better. I guess it's water for me in there then for our next Emergency.

We booked a table at our local pub and sat in TH for half an hour waiting for Huffle to drive to us and then we had a nice dinner whilst still worrying about the wallet. Huffle went off to get Smallest, post a letter (we had to pay our washing machine NON service invoice) and get a new bulb for the car.

Small and I came home and looked for the wallet in the sun room, in the freezer (well he was carrying ice cream so you never know), and in the bedroom. Lo and behold it was under the quilt on the bed! Small and I had much pleasure in calling him and telling him what a Dufus he is! I watched a bit more of TheHandmaidsTale and knitted and Small watched the baseball and played on his tablet.

Smallest's event: he had to sit down straight away in a particular seat. He had a water and a salad. After a while they had soup but Smallest didn't get one even th ugh he med for one. He asked for a drink but they said NO so he got his own from the trolley behind them. He had chicken fingers, they were really chewy and the skin was too thick and then he had stale ice cream which he had to use a knife and the cream was like a brick. No games, lots of photos, lots of speeches. It was very boring. We paid for this in our initial fee, luckily we didn't choose to go with him else we would have paid an extra $45 each. NO WAY!

This evening we sat and watched the end of PiratesOfTheCarribeanDeadMansChest with a nice ice cream. Then Smallest wanted to watch another CakeBoss and we finished with an XFactor before the little one went to bed. Phew it's been a hectic and hot day!
