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 daysUpdating soon...0 -
Thankyou. My school bag is a scarlet satchel with a purple lining. Great minds...Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0

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 itUpdating soon...0

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.Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
I've just discovered I can watch my own item on ebay. How sad am I??Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0

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 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.
