I blame the litigation culture. I often wonder what parents think when signing to say how far they can swim when they are only attending the college over the road.Polly_Wolly_Doodle wrote: »Morning Tilly, yup i think i'm here looking at diaries to avoid the list of things i should be doing.
Some of which are so stupid, i.e. at the start of term we sign a form to say we are happy for the school to take the children out and about and yet i now have about four forms on my desk asking for approval to go, oh yes you've guessed it, out and a flippin about:mad:. I know there will be a health & safety issue but honestly i haven't changed my mind:p.
And so it continues!
P.S. i haven't bought any presents yet:eek:
There would have to be a helluva puddle.I'm too scared to have a financial night ... I'm at the get all the spending done then deal with it denial stage just now
And I know it doesn't help ... But I can't seem to want to do anything else

Yeah he sounds no too bad at all lol
Hope your good me dear
I'm currently nursing a wee sore head, I blame Butti, Beanie and ZTD for not stopping me lol0 -
Glorious long walk with the hounds this morning. About an hour but at a pace which had us slightly breathless.
Neighbours cards delivered as well.
Beautiful joint of beef for dinner this evening and Mr T and I are on wrapping duty as the kids are going out.
We'll be lighting the second candle today :T
I need to do a return and grab some euros for next week - that can be one trip out.
I'd better get cracking as we're off to church soon.
Food spends yesterday came to £11 ish in L!dl and £10 in WR. Good offers on butter so I stocked up.
Freezer is still rammed - how on earth do we fit so much in? Mr T is living out of the freezer this week, although we did buy fresh veg and fruit, along with milk yesterday.
No more shopping this week and Mr T may be making bread towards Thursday.
Have a lovely Sunday

Hi Mr E, I feel like it's been a very relaxed day even though we got a few jobs done.

Hi, not sure whether I'll be on line at all this coming week as its a mad full on time. However, I'll be thinking of Tilly Tidies and moves to MOS.
It's a good job mum is moving in as she's going to need a lot of support of the next few months. I need to see about a wheelchair as well.
Looking back on the year, it has certainly raced by. I need to check the MfW13 challenge and update - we cleared a fair bit early on but much slower progress over the last few months.
That's all for now. Off to watch Strictly.
Have a good week.
