    Today my mission is to convince people that scarlet and purple look great together and that I didn't get dressed in the dark.

    Spent £7.50 on DD1's school trip last night, but couldn't pay the pre-school bill as have lost it. Made a biggish Mr S order since we have snow predicted, ooh!

    Scarlet and purple DO look great together! My coat is a a lovely purple and my bag is a cherry red and I think it looks lovely and warming and cheerful on these cold days :D

  • Thankyou. My school bag is a scarlet satchel with a purple lining. Great minds...

    Oooh, that sounds gorgeous! My bag isn't quite a stachel but it's the same size. It also has a compartment in for my knitting so I can keep the wool separate from everything else and not get my keys tangled up in it

  • lovely, mine has an elastic strap with a clip on the end for my car keys so I don't have to root around in my bag for them.

    Think it may double as a changing bag with the mat out of the boots freebie too.

  • I've just discovered I can watch my own item on ebay. How sad am I??

  • Parents' evening. DD2 has antibiotics. Hopefully we will have flooring in the bathroom when I get home.

    Snow predicted at home tomorrow afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Hope DD is better soon. Never mind watching own items on ebay - i obsess over mine and check them far too often! Doesn't help that i have an ebay app on my phone.

    I am not liking the sound of all this snow - i am off work this week on holiday but have a funny feeling the snow will coincide with my return to work!
    June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!
  • I love the snow, I'm such a kid. Thanks for the wishes for DD2, she is tucked up in bed, not too bad.

    MIL starts chemotherapy next week, so any prayers welcome.

    Think I can count a NSD today.

    :rotfl:Disgraceful, shouldn't laugh really.

    I am dreading my two getting bigger as i don't get a look in now when they are wanting to do cbeebies on the computer.
