The Marvelous Accommodations

I've gotten all the hotels lined up for our trip up North and West. Now I can focus on doing other things at night - like reading through all the newspapers we've accumulated over the last several days that I haven't read because of kids or internet searches for hotels that will sleep more than 2 people.

I don't have long for this post. There's a shot clinic at the surgery down the road (doctor's office) and I need to get Jules in for her 6-month shots. I'm not looking forward to taking all 3 kids, but this is the time they do it. Every Thursday from 2-3. Hopefully if we get there early we can get in and out quickly.

I FOUND CUBE STEAK TODAY! I just remembered. We went to the ASDA to pick up Julie's pictures and I was going to get a few other things. I thought I'd check their meat section for cube steak and I was rewarded for my efforts. I am going to surprise Steve with his favorite dinner. I even bought enough to freeze half of it in case we want some before I get back to ASDA. I also had tape on my list. I ran out of the Scotch tape I brought with us. So I bought some Sellotape. Yup - you read that right. Sellotape. Sound familiar? How about if I add the letter "p" and make it Spellotape? The longer we're here, the more I discover little nuances of Brit culture that J.K. Rowling tweaked only slightly for her stories.

On a similar note, the A Level students all received their results today. Much like the O.W.L. students getting their results by owl post. I'm going to have to get Steve to talk about the A Levels - apparently they've been discussing it at work lately.

It's 1.50. I need to go.
