Finally taken the plunge and letting CCCS deal with my debts so thats going through at the moment, DD ok at mo, settled back into school, so thats ok at mo, and she had her hot air balloon trip (3rd time lucky) over summer, her bday present, she was so happy, wants to go up again! xx

Well you have to do what you have to do, it must be a weight off your mind, oh I would love a ride in a hot air Balloon, lucky lucky girl!
We spent today at Ludlow Food Festival - I sat and just relaxed while watching the otherhalf sing his little heart out, he'll be doing the same again tomorrow and Sunday so I'll be really chilled out by Monday! A little sunburnt though, for got to do the back of my neck x

Well today is another day spent lazily watching Mr R sing all day at Ludlow Food Festival, relaxing as anything, trying not to spend too much money but oh the food! Hopefully get some bargains tomorrow when it closes down for trading x

Well it's back to reality this morning, youngest son in the shower getting ready for college as the rest us us are bursting for the bathroom, the weekend felt like a holiday, the hardest thing I had to do was rattle along with a tambourine and sing some harmonies. We go a thank you from the chef's table ( the posh bit) for the singing in the form of an all expenses paid afternoon tea, oh it was scrummy. Managed to reign myself in budget with, I bought 3 bars of Fluffle Choc as Xmas gifts, a bottle of Chilli Vodka for my little sis ( Mr R tasted it then lost his taste buds for about 3 hours, very very hot but apparently makes wonderful Bloody Mary's) and a set of three chocolate baileys type drink for my other little sis so only spent £29.50 all weekend!

Todays list of things to do -

• Make a shopping list Oh Im a bit hacked off with this one, stuck to the list no problem, thought that I'd chance my arm on the self serve with two coupons for a pound each off the Observer paper which were at the bottom of a recipe card I picked up at the food festival, it only worked, so go £2 off the shop but should have picked up a few more cards!!!
• Look at whats in the freezer
• read some more and relax Just off to do it!
• post some shoes on our local sale Facebook pageOOps! Ive already charity shopped them
• Help Mr R wrap his ebay sales
• Budget for the week as sons travel pass has not yet arrived:mad:Telephone call while I was out, travel pass has been approved so it will arrive in the next few days and we got a bursery grant so dont have to make any payments, which will save us £178 per term!
• Spend some time with older son who is having some problems at the moment, see if we can help or support
• Pour out the tea I made about 20 mins ago, Eek!:rotfl:

Have a great day everyone xx :j:rotfl:
