Default In-laws arrive this morning! Excited and stressed!

Well it's 7am, I've been up for 2 hours already because I can't sleep.... the new in-laws (well OH's parents and siblings) arrive from Oz this morning! 6 Aussies who have never been out of Australia before!

They'll come here to our 2 bedroom flat in London (could be interesting...) and the parents will stay with us and the siblings will be in a hotel.

Then on Wednesday we'll all had down to Cornwall for the wedding! Can't believe it's all happening! We'll be showing them around London for a few days, although we should probably be doing wedding stuff... but hey ho.

Was up till late last night cleaning the flat (not just clean clean, not just visitor clean, but PARENT visiting clean!) and making the table plan for the wedding..... lol

Wish me luck!!

Well it's going alright so far.... they arrived at 9am so I asked if anyone wanted a cup of tea and the MiL did but the FiL and brothers/sisters just went straight on the beer.... I know it wasn't breakfast time for them but still!

All that cleaning and tidying of the place and after 5 mins it looks like a bomb has hit it and there's beer cans everywhere!

Still, it's good to have them here. We've sent the brothers and sisters over the road to the pub to have some fish and chips so I can tidy up a bit

Heading in to town in a bit to 'see some old buildings and that'
