    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello everyone, hope you are all ok. We've been off on our jollies so I've missed you all. Thanks for the thread to the usual lovelies and for the day off to Pigpen.

    Just catching up on the paid work before I fly a little, have visitors this pm so need to tidy. DD2 is back to school tomorrow and it's his birthday so will need to shop and bake in a birthday way tomorrow. The big 2 don't go back until next Monday.

    Anyway, hope you are all ok and it's [STRIKE]good[/STRIKE] sad to be back. I love the holidays and always feel flat after so am counting on you all to keep me going.

    Mel x

  • Good morning. Just popping in to show my face. We've had a horrendous few weeks, culminating in the untimeley death of a dear friend (and parent of two of the children's best friends).

    You'll be pleased to know that the house is clean and tidy, but I'm immersing myself in the real world until the children are back at school, as we've all been reminded as to what is really important.

    Love to you all :A

    Not so simple..

    Something that looks nice, is easy to breastfeed in, is very cheap (or free) and I will be able to wear at some other occasion!!
