I'm building up to a top notch, platinum standard, highest quality, pure class weekend.
First and foremost, First Born is due back from his 8 day trip to France tomorrow.
Please, please, please Mr France Coach Driver, take care.
Watch out for slippery roads, precipitous edges, rockfalls, fog, blizzards, exhaustion, other drivers ...
Please, please, please Mr Ferryman, take care.
Watch out for unexpected currents, mechanical failures, stray ships, ice bergs ...
(Ice bergs? In the Channel? Come, come now. That's taking the anxious parenting too far.)
Please, please, please Mr UK Coach Driver, take care.
Just because you're nearly home, this is no time for a lapse in attention.
It's been a long journey.
Take a break if you need to.
You carry a cargo more precious than gold, rubies, diamonds and every coin in every currency across the globe.
The rest of the day will be spent on a family love-in of monumental proportions.
Meanwhile, back in the Real World, bloggers will be flocking from all points of the compass for Pipe & Slippers (and some of them will be crashing on various bits of our furniture).
On Sunday, they'll be descending on our tiny loved-up abode for lunch.
I haven't told them yet that they're going to need to sit on each other's shoulders.
Or that the reason I'll be serving finger food is that we don't have enough forks.
Oh and I must warn them about the toilet seat.
It's ... um ... not actually attached to the toilet, which can make for a less-than-relaxing lavatorial experience (unless they find rollercoasters soothing ...)
Then on Monday, it will be back-to-normal day.
And I'll probably be wondering if I dreamed it all ...
Oh - and did I mention that I'm deaf? Again?

Shall I bring me ear-trumpet?
What? What was that? Hang on, I can't hear a thing with this yoke, one of the kids has gummed this up with jam... mmm... lovely!
I'll bring sellotape for the toilet seat. Oh, and a bottle of wine too.
Deaf jokes will not be tolerated! Those finding them amusing will be locked in the deathtrap/toilet for the entire proceedings.
Seriously, folks, I'm more pissed off than I can say that I'm deaf again at this crucial point. No fair ...
On a lighter note, FB's back! And predictably the love-in lasted only long enough for him to plug in the Playstation. *sigh*
Hope First Born gets home safely and hope all the bloggers have a fabby time! Have fun. What am I say, it'll be hard to stop you lot from having fun - and behaving!
SOOOOOOO SORRY TO HEAR YOU'RE DEAF AGAIN!!! did you hear that?
Oh, so good to hear that the coach driver got your treasure home! Now, photos photos photos and titbits from the BIG day! :-)
