    Brizzle - we rarely get it here. I was lucky enough to go to school in town and was always envious of those that lived towards the Cotswolds as they always got snow.

    Don't want snow. I don't fancy trying to get off our drive and I can no longer really walk to our school.
  • Hope no one has snow today!!

    DS2 was up at 6.20am excited for his birthday!! We had a lovely morning and he is thrilled with his iPad mini :j. Looking forward to our meal out with the family tonight - I'm going armed with a 40% off voucher and a £100 gift card!! Hoping this will cover the meal for everyone, but if not the other guests can split the rest!!! I've done my bit :p.

    DH felt weird and wobbly last night. No seizure yet, hoping to get through today without one Xx

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DS2. Glad you had a lovely morning and it sounds like a fun evening ahead of you.


    I feel your pain with the shoes, it only feels like 5 minutes since the last round of shoes and now Ds is saying his soles feel uncomfortable in his shoes and Dd has grown out of her wellies. :mad:.


    Going to look for some insoles for Ds and I might join you with having a search on Fleabay for wellies.


    My budget is all made a tidy and I hate these extra bits that crop up on a weekly even daily basis. Grrrrrr.


    Have a great night thought. Love Birthdays xxx

  • Thanks everyone! We had a nice meal at pizza express despite there being nothing express about it. Almost 3 hours!! Better than being rushed out, but a bit quicker would have been better. Anyway, total bill was £163, which was reduced to £111 with the 40% off voucher, and then £11 with the £100 gift card. Everyone else chipped in for the £11 and tip so it was free for us :j.

    DH had a partial seizure in the car on the way home :(.

  • Glad you enjoyed the meal but bad news on the seizure - hope DH and the rest of you are all OK.

    Any chance of getting the boys shoes in the Clarks sale? We managed to get DD some 'first shoes' for £8 last week! Much better than the usual £26/28 price tag!
  • Thank you both. DH has been ok today but we didn't go to the gym just incase. He was very jerky in his sleep so I 'slept' with one eye open all night. Amazed not to have had a full seizure yet, but he has been eating sugary things all day which is another sign. I've been eating some things too which I will regret on weigh in day but it has helped me get through the day!!

    DS1 having problems with a (different to last time) boy at school again :(. There's always something! The woman from the Young Carer's at Barnardos is coming out to see us tomorrow though, so hopefully we'll get something out of that.
