Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th September

What a crazy busy day! I have achieved so much without even leaving the house!! I decided today was the day I was going to clean out the maid's room. I started in the morning and by the time Raj Kumar arrived at 2.40, I had all the suitcases carried in to the apartment and some of the boxes. Raj Kumar was really shocked when he walked in the front door and there were about 10 suitcases and stuff all over!! He said to me : 'Ma'am, you are always busy! Always something you do'. I laughed and said 'yes, he was right'. He was actually very helpful! He held Abi and entertained DJ while I quickly got everything sorted. He also helped me bring in all the other boxes, cases and tumble dryer that were still outside. The children love him and DJ especially, loves it when he is here. So, with his help, I managed to empty this completely:


















I had to sort it all, repack a few things i.e. smaller cases into bigger cases so they took up less space and then I moved it all into DJ's bathroom. We have three bathrooms and never use Dylan's so it made sense to put everything in there. I cannot believe how much I managed to achieve in a day. I was absolutely exhausted afterwards. The lovely thing was – at about 4.30, I was able to sit in the playroom with both children and relax and watch them play. It was a really nice end to a tough day!

While I was sat in the playroom I had a phone call from the school I went to see yesterday 'Mother's Pride'. The lady was checking when I would be coming in to pay the fees. I explained to her that I had made my decision and was going to put Dylan into a smaller school with less children. She couldn't understand this and kept saying 'But I think Mother's Pride would be better for him!' and I nearly laughed out loud (of course that what she thinks)! I told her that 'I have made my decision and I want him to be somewhere smaller and where he will feel more secure'. She still tried to convince me about putting him there but I thanked her and told her I'd made up my mind. I didn't tell her that I had already paid for his place somewhere else. Anyway, I am happy with my choice. I know that he will be happy in the one I chose.

Thursday 9th September

I spent today at home as well. I sorted all the paperwork that was all over the apartment and put it all in one place. I did a bit of tidying and washing and just played and relaxed with the children. It was a quiet but nice relaxing day. Not much else to write really!
