    Evening all

    Embb great news

    Dippy that is so silly. DS1 is not even bothering to start having lessons (17 on Monday) as the cost of insurance/petrol is so high so until he is in full time work I really don't think it'll be an option.

    Sarah hope your day was positive

    He saved up for the lessons from his Sat job, the rumours about changes to the driving test worried him, so he wanted to 'get it out of the way' IYKWIM
    but being a 'student' on the listings he's a no-no.

      Hey All

      I can't possibly keep up with you all but hope everyone is well :D I'm posting to no one in particular but it makes me feel like i've achieved something when i write it down and motivates me to do the rest ;)

      Today I've had dh off but ds at pre-school so it was nice to get stuff done without him around, decorating spare room at the moment so we managed to actually have a rub down and paint the ceiling today aswell as, wash curtains, load and unload dw, load again, hoover all round, make dinner and pop to town :D
      :j Mortgage Free!! :eek: )
      Generally trying to cut back where possible :j
