    Morning Diary,

    Well what a treat today, I am actually at home on a school day with no kids! My school isnt back until Thursday so ive got 3 days off! Im sure it will fly by so I am going to enjoy it as much as possible. Then its full steam towards the summer holidays.

    So we got up at 7am which is an actual lie in on a school day. Kids have had a more leisurely morning not being rushed to breakfast club for 8am and ive managed to hoover and clean the bathrooms. Just waiting for the engineer to come re my broadband. I swear if they dont sort it out today I am going to kick off even more than I already have.

    We seem to have run out of yoghurts, fruit etc so I think im go to pop to Mr Al. If they come before I pick the kids up from school that is!

    DD1 has another party at 4pm-6pm this evening aswell.

    Just enjoying my cuppa then off to peg my washing out. Happy days! xx

    Hi have you had a good day off without the kids? I hope the engineer turned up and all is finally sorted with your broadband, well done with making the small payment every little bit chips away at the balance.

    Morning Diary!

    Chrysalis yes they did turn up thank you, although at one point time was getting on and I did wonder if they had forgotten about me! Theyve changed the socket now so fingers crossed that its sorted.

    So yesterday I got sooo much done whilst waiting for them to come. Even managed to get into the kids bedroom and sort that aswell as the study which had books strewn all over aswell as DH's bits of paper all over too.

    At lunchtime I went out to Mr Al's, HB's and Mr S! Wasnt planning on going to Mr S but we really like the chicken kievs from there so got those whilst I was in that town! Spent £50... was only going for some yoghurts and fruit :eek:! I did get a few extra camping things though so cant complain really.

    Nothing much planned for today! Hope all ok xx

    Afternoon Diary,

    Well ive literally hardly done anything today! Did a bit of hoovering to keep on top of it but thats about it!!!

    We had leftover bolognaise out of the freezer with garlic flatbread which was delicious. I also had picked up some of those biscuit corner yoghurs from Mr Al's yesterday which are a total rip off of mu11ers! Just had one of those and it was really nice! You can tell the difference but I was really surprised how nice they were.

    Just written a complaint letter to H0vis and emailed to myself to print out on Thursday when im back in work.

    Today was also a NSD, not sure what number but im pleased all the same!!! xx

    Xx

    Afternoon Diary,

    Just a quickie before I go collect the girls from school.

    Thanks for popping in Alice, I will keep you up to date with my H0vis complaint!!

    So today I went to a local shopping centre to buy a few bits for work for when the sun re-appears! Got some real bargains in H n M so im pleased with those.
    I also got another £2 coin which takes me to £60 :D, im so chuffed that ive managed to save to that amount without dipping in to them! I also bagged up some other bits of change the other day to add to it so that takes me to £67. Im hoping to have £100 towards c.parcs by the time we go so I think I should be able to achieve that no problems.

    Nothing done in the house since yesterday but its stayed clean and tidy. Back to work tomorrow.. kind of looking forward to it because it will be nice to get back but also not looking forward to it as I know its going to be really busy! I have 35 days left to work until the summer holidays... not that im counting or anything!!!!

    Nothing much else to report. Hope all ok xx

    Good Evening Diary,

    DH is just watching some of his drivel so I thought id jump on my laptop!!

    So weve had our first camping trip this weekend, it rained pretty much all day yesterday stopping at tea time but we all had such a lovely time. I didnt sleep too well the first night but last night I was out like a light. The kids loved it and there was a little boy from DD2's class there so we sat and had some drinks with them last night. We went somewhere quite close to home as a trial run and it was such a nice little place we will definitely go back.

    Everythings back in its place etc now. I had a 2 hour sleep this afternoon, whilst my 2 loads of washing dried. Since tea time ive had a second wind and done an hours worth of ironing, flown round with the vacuum and wiped over the bathrooms. I really wanted to get the cleaning done Friday afternoon before we set off but I just didnt have time. Lesson learned for next time.. Do it Thursday instead.

    Really enjoyed being back at work Thursday and Friday. I think the anticipation is worse than just doing it sometimes.

    OF, we go at October half term for DD1's birthday (they dont know). I love C.Ps but it can be soooo expensive cant it. We havent been for 2 years so it will be a nice treat plus my kids love it.

    Nothing much to report moneywise. I got another £2 coin yesterday so thats now £62 and £69 with the other bits of change ive got to pay in.

    Hope all ok xx

  • Glad you enjoyed the camping. I think the rain is all part of the fun.:rotfl:

    Well done on your £2 coin pot.:)

    Have a great week.

    Xx

    Afternoon Diary,

    OMG what a week!!! Had a mental week at work, cant really go into it but its been mental for all involved. Today was the final straw for my colleague who had arranged a trip for the 18th June but the coach company had the date as 18th July!!! Shes was about to lose the plot as I was leaving for the day!!!

    Got home and didnt quite know what to do with myself. Needed Fathers day cards and a few other bits and then just about to jump in the car and head to Mr M's when got a call from DD's school asking me to go collect DD1. Shes had headache, sore throat and temperature. Managed to get her in drs at 4.30 as her throat is really swollen not much room for swallowing and you can hear it in her voice. Just about to collect DD2 from school and she starts throwing up so had to ask the neighbour to collect DD2 for me.
    Just about to set off to drs in 5 mins, at least its the weekend but it feels like one thing after the other. Ive never been called to school to collect the kids so much as this year! They never caught anything when they were little tots and now they seem to catch everything going! Poor DD, il let you know how we get on!

    Nothing much more to report anyway, best get off and to the drs! xx
