Thank God it's Friday!

This week. Has been. A NIGHTMARE. 


William decided to grace us with his presence on Monday, and I ended up cooking a chicken for eight people. EIGHT people. He's back this week to celebrate Margot's birthday on Sunday. She's *only* going round Paris in a limousine... nothing spectacular then.

Last week everyone was ill, but the fact that I'm now ill this week has no effect (of course not - I'm only the au-pair!) so life goes on. Insight into yesterday: William said he'd let me know if he was eating tea at home with us or staying out in Paris. Oh, choices choices choices. If he WAS eating here, then he wanted me to wait for him to arrive so he could eat with the girls. So at 8pm I'm still hanging around to see if I'm cooking three burgers or four. He then FINALLY phoned Marie to announce his arrival. 

Last night's meal really did prove my point that I may as well feed them toilet paper, as the meal probably had the nutritional content of utter CRAP. We were low on everything, and being French they LOVE meat, and aren't even satisfied with mince meat in spaghetti. Nooo they like huge slabs of meat. So I scraped together burger, chips and eggs. I feel mortified that I even served something as unhealthy and greasy as THAT. It looked HORRENDOUS, and not a green piece in sight on the plate. They, however, were absolutely DELIGHTED. In all seriousness, they LOVED it. Maybe if I just give them mugs of oil and saturated fat in the future they'd love me just as much! They may even think Christmas had come round sooner! 

Anyway, thanks-a-bundle it's Friday. Please can I just go into hibernation now? Feeling slightly more positive though - I've spring cleaned my room, planning wonderful things for Rosie's room, there's a cake in the oven and I've made a big bowl of tomato pasta with mincemeat for the girls after tennis, which can be reheated when they want it or when His Majesty decides to descend upon us. I. AM. AMAZING. (If i may say so myself!)

Positive news of the week. An unconditional offer from Chester. The way they're giving out all these unconditionals makes them sound as valuable as... oranges! But no complaints. Another highlight of the week is that I think I've actually conquered the Pluperfect Tense in French Grammar. *Chandler Dance*
