Well so far day is being wasted as one girl doesnt want to go to beach as doesnt travel well so the other is sulking. Have offered to take into town instead but DD is sulking (again) because she doesnt have any money left. Well if she could identify where she had spent all of her £65 money and hadnt cut the straps of the school shoes then I would have bought her new ones she needed yesterday instead of her having to buy them and she would have had money. In a minute I will say stuff them and get on with what I want to do :mad:Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!0

All my washing is dry, folded and put away. Dinner cooked (microwaved but from scratch rather than ready meal). I was about to go outside and read but I'm waiting for the big fat pigeon to finish the seed and squeeze back out of the bird table first. If you hear a loud pop you'll know he's out!0
