Pinot's Potty debt free journey!!!
Comments

DD2 SATS results came through, we are very very pleased with her !!:T:T:T
School report received, this time it appears to actually be for her, not some other random child as it was last year !! They have at least got her name correct even though I am not convinced they are necessarily talking about her throughout the report !! It was an interesting read, but did mention her enthusiasm in Cake Making,ie the Table Mountain Cake and Olympic Stadium Cake that she made !
Headteachers comment very disappointing, had been copied and pasted, as I had exactly the same comment when DD1 left the school, with a prayer for her at the bottom ! Personally I do think that when they leave the school the headteacher could at least take some time to write a personal comment to the children as she does every other year. But maybe I am just getting on my high horse now !!
War still rampaging between the parents , I am keeping my head down and not getting out of the car ..... I am counting down the days until I never have to set foot in that playground again !!!! :j:j
Ooh and made some lovely ebay sales yesterday. New Ebay pot stands at about £70 with another 8 things currently for sale and I belive 7 things not paid for yet !Although I knwo I should put that towards the debt, I will be naughty and buy new garden furniture as I mentioned before as if we do happen to get some sunshine we nothing to sit on at all in the garden !
Ok....must step away from MSE and do some work !!! xxxx

Bless you. Relationships and families are not easy all the time even when it's a very loving family like yours. Whether you like it or not you are the lynchpin of your family and it's your role to keep it together and you do it fantastically well!
It's a shame the camping trip wasn't perfect, but it had laughter and love so wasn't a disaster and you're going again next weekend, it will be better.
As Gargrave says you're a very special lady, it will all come right one day.

Hi Mrs P
Sorry the camping trip was not all you wished but sometimes even the bad times are good. (Trust me it makes sense in a roundabout way lol)
Hope this weekend is better for you all.
Our trip to Devon and Cornwall was not all we had hopes for and today (the last day of my break) the sun decides to come out.....
Have been a very naughty girl on the MSE frontand hope that having done a big food shop yesterday and going back to work tomorrow I will knuckle down again. To be honest maybe I shouldn't have time off as that is when my spending habits get naughty.:eek:
Right I am off to make my meal plans and spending regime for the next month.
Catch up properly soon.
Take care

Hello my dear friendly dragon :rotfl:
Here is a little storyboard just for you
Mr, Mrs and the 2 little Pinots set off in their car
to go on their fun camping trip
While Mr Pinot sets up the tent:
Little Miss Pinot No#2 starts the tea
The 2 little miss Pinot's go off to bed
and Mr & Mrs Pinot sit talking by the fire until the early hours
making plans on how to outwit the predators so they can spend even more time enjoying more camping trips
Despite the rain
a fun time was had by all, so they are going back next weekTargets
