That’s a shame if it’s not as easy next year greent, it’s so handy getting he older ones to help with the younger ones (well planned 😬) I’ve no idea if we can charge interest in the rent, but to be honest it’s not a great time to push things as I’m hoping I can return to work along with ds2 at some point, being the landlord of your boss is not always the best idea 😆 

Just done a check of the finances and we have £20.52 left to spend on groceries and £79.03 credit in the current account. I’ve a click and collect booked for Saturday, I’ll attempt to do one more shop after that one and spend £50 each time. 

Non food spending this month has been £16.35 on nail polish and lip balm, £7.99 on a new iron and £18.35 on five new items of clothing from the everything five pounds sale. 76p on a free moonpig card delivery and £65 on 3x pandora charms , one £45 for dds boyfriends dd, but it was spend £59 a get a free charm so I bought one more and got one free, so two Xmas presents all from the pot. 

Off to make tea and watch the last episode of quiz about who wants to be a millionaire, we are all enjoying that this week 😁

You're still ironing 😮? Surely lockdown is the best excuse you'll ever get to abandon it???

What is ironing? I don’t recognise this word?!

 Just catching up - greent you have my sympathy re NY. Hope you can reschedule soon - but can see the difficulties you might have with childcare!

It will take more than the end of the world for me to stop ironing my tea towels 😂

Madness!! 😂

Tea towels was the first thing my Mum taught me to iron - when I was about 9. Don't think I've done one since 😂!

Haha I know! 

I’ve been shopping today, firstly in the loft cupboard in the eaves and then the log cabin 😬 I had a hankering for a Cath kidston style bedspread and sheets (not really my style anymore) and after looking at the price online went for a rummage at home instead. I found a lovely vintage white bedspread with pink roses on it, so it’s now drying in the garden 🙂 I also found loads of old summer clothes , just cheap primarni shorts but perfect for indoors, a variety of sizes from 10-16 too, so covering a fair few years! Then out in the log cabin ds2’s girlfriend bravely went rummaging through an old suitcase full of my shoes and found a couple of pairs of sandals for her, a few for me and four pairs or flip flops with the labels still on, bad I know but good for us currently!

Bread is baking, gammon is cooking for dinner and I have called 2x aunts today, this is a super busy day compared to normal 😆

NG, remind me why the log cabin has fallen out of favour? Didn't you used to use it all the time? Is it just because of the spiders, as now might be a good time to get everyone involved (while you hide indoors) and give all the dark corners a good clear out so it can be brought back into use again?
