Mrs S, family life and debt

I've got a reduction. Not as good as last time when I got 50% off. I didn't think it would be as good, though, as that 50% off only finished 2 weeks ago!! I've got 40% off this time. My bill will be £13.50 instead of £22.50 each month. It means I'm tied with them now at this price until Jan 2019, but I'm happy with that.

I had a short to-do list today, and other than to sort the boy's wardrobes out, I've done it! I've also vacuumed through and spent quite a bit of time playing with the boys.

I'm completely petrified about tomorrow's interviews. I mean, who's daft enough to have 2 on the same day :rotfl: The first one is at 10, and dh's taking the boys to his parents in the morning so I should have a quiet couple of hours to prepare beforehand. The interview is only a 5-10 minute drive from home, probably closer to 5 mins so not too far to go. In between interviews I'm going to pick up things for my son's birthday (cake, decorations, etc). I've then got my second interview at 3pm. Mad!!

Today, I've also booked a couple of Christmas activities and I've had to pay deposits for them. I do have a Christmas/birthday pot so the money is coming from there. I've booked for ds to meet Father Christmas in November (with afternoon tea!) and also a Christmas card making craft session in September where the card you make will be sent off and made into lots of Christmas cards. I've asked whether both boys can be on the same card, and that's fine. I have always made homemade Christmas cards with my eldest, and this is a little bit of a cheat version this year!!
