    You should make them pay their way. No salt mines round your way you could send them down?

    Looks like it's a chimney-sweeping small business for you then...

    Hi IA, I read all of your earlier diaries and am pleased to catch up with a new one...

    How old are the girls now? I knew your eldest was at school, but it doesn't seem 5 minutes since you had the younger one! You mentioned a childfree night - do the girls not stay overnight with their dad?

    Well done on the holiday and good luck with the advances in your career - I remember when you first started with that company (if you are still with the same company)

    I'll go back to lurking now.

    Aww hello! Please don't lurk. It's lovely to hear from you, I remember you from back in the day :)

    They're 4 and 6 now, both at school. It's amazing how quickly they grow up :eek:

    The 'childfree' night is a touchy subject, and not something I can go into publicy because you have no idea who might be reading.. *rolls eyes*

    I'm still with the same organisation, and am going up the ranks gradually :)

    They do love it and they go on various trips as well, which is why I'm happy for them to go. I do have a general gripe with the cost of childcare in general though!!

    Quick update: NSD so far today, but need to get my dance money out later so will have spent £4. I'm going to need to spend money on parking tomorrow for a meeting too, but I can claim that back in expenses eventually.

    Boooo at having to spend money! Looking forward to payday Thursday so I can sort out my budgets again! :)

    I need to get a life.. :rotfl:
