Key Lime Pie and other puds

I have been told that I need to bring dessert for a BBQ we are going to tomorrow.  So, all jewellery making on hold for the moment while I decide I must make my usual meringues - I love meringues but need to make enough so use 6 eggs which then means that I am now left with 6 egg yolks.  I hate waste so I try and decide between making custard ice-cream or creme brulee (the brulee won) but then discovered I didn't have enough cream so a trip to the shops was warranted.  Now meringues were for tomorrow, creme brulee was purely for our own home indulgence so thought I'd better whip something else up while creme brulees are in the oven.  I decide on making a key lime pie but (drat oh drat) no limes so another trip to the shop is warranted.  Unfortunately local shop lets me down so have to wander further afield as now determined to make key lime pie.  Success - limes purchased and 1 key lime pie mixed made and produced.  Looks really good too. 

In the meantime daughter of 12 has announced that her friend from school really likes one of the charm bracelets I made so will I make one which I dubiously agree to.  On that note daughter of 12 sets off to local bead shop in the village (yes - I have a bead shop in the village, not much else but I have one of those) and returns bearing beads to make a charm bracelet.  I suppose I will have to squeeze in the making of the charm bracelet while I am bringing in the washing, walking our four legged friend, tidying up the dining room table (that's another story - though bought some storage boxes last night.... as currently can't see what colour or shape the dining room table actually is) and ... trying to catch up on a book I have had on the dining room table for the last 2 months.  Still, at least I know I don't have to cook lunch tomorrow as BBQ will do it for me though Arsenal are playing at the same time.  Will it appear rude if I keep on dashing off to the loo to sneakily peer at the score.

12 and 15 year old children are sitting quietly in front of the television about to watch a DVD.  There's been a request for popcorn and I love the convenience of microwave popcorn so that's a task easily done.  And once they are munching and watching at least that will be some respite from the noise.  They have been so noisy today.  I think that now the sun has shown it's face they have spent so much time outdoors today (no bad thing) that their voices have really echoed and rebounded around the house.
