Thankyou KM, yep I am very proud of it, just wish I could carry on and get rid of it completely

Yesterday we went fora the walk with girlie mates and their kids, and the 3 kids played together beautifully all afternoon, no whinging or squabbling whatsoever, was lovely :T Then we went on to another friends for a bbq and ds played with her son and we didnt end up coming home until 10pm and I can honestly say I don't remember the last time ds behaved so well :j He was an absolute angel the whole time we were there, they went off and played Lego together, then on the computer and then in the garden with the dogs, but the whole time he was good as gold, it was *such* a nice feeling to be proud of him

Morning, Glad you had alovely day yesterday - sounds fab!

It WILL feel weird not putting money into the mortgage pot as that is what you are used too. But just try to remember how good it will feel spending it in the summer guilt free!

Another lovely day today We went to Sainsburys and did the food shopping (£40), then went to the friends we saw yesterday. Ds played in her pool with her son, and he had outgrown his wetsuit and gave it to ds who is absolutely over the moon with it, in fact he's in the bath now wearing it

After a full afternoon there we popped into mums, just in time for a sunday roast :T Then home for baths and bed

It is lovely when you get given something like that isn't it Benben. We had only been doing surflifesaving a few weeks, when some random bloke just walked up to my OH and gave him a wesuit 'cos it would fit your boy'. Wouldn't take anything for it, wondered off, and we never saw him since! Lovely thing to do.

LOVE the idea of your DS wearing it in the bath though! LOl

Today was one of those fabby days .... the car, which I have been worrying over, passed its mot :j :j So £43 on that and the rest of the car maintenance pot can stay there and build up quite nicely in case anything major happens over the next 12 months with it

Sports day at school so a nice afternoon out on the field in the sun Ds has done his homework already tonight and we're just off to the park with a neighbour and her son. He also finished his library book last night, 94 pages and we only got it on saturday

Went to mums after school and cleaned out the guineapigs and ds took her dog for a walk with her. Once we get back from the park it is baths all round and early nights as I didn't sleep well at all last night and am tired from being in the sun today.
