Morning Tilly
Love the DS story and lesson learned about plastic ... so true, imagine how many debt problems would be gone if everyone learned that as a teenager ... Also brilliant he's learned that baking over weekend will save him cash (and be much more delicious) ... Perhaps you could add some cakes into his payment plan, along with the vaccuming, to ensure you get a taste too ... :T.
Never too old for date night
And as for insomniacs reading your diary - NEVER! :rotfl::rotfl:
Have a warm Saturday

Hi Apple, I have to say he's done a good job. He's also sat us down to tell us he has a girlfriend
Hounds have been walked, cold but gloriously sunny day. I am off for a walky jog in an hour. As the sun will have gone down, I'll be wearing extra layers.
Mr T and DS have emptied a room and Mr T has started decorating.
Have a good evening all.

All in all, things looking good and I will definitely end the year in a far better place physically and mentally than I started this one.
Best wishes, Tilly x x x

Tilly,
I hope you are well, you must be so proud of your family. So good that DS has learned a lesson so early, I learned the same lesson at 18 with my first credit card and told my parents about 10 years later in a concersation. My mum asked me why I hadn't told her (I maxed out my credit card of £1000 in 3 weeks) and was surprised when I said I had wanted to deal with it myself as it was my problem. It took me 2 and a half years to pay off while at university but was the start of my MSE journey. You have amazing children xMFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200
