    Our last day as well. Just spent last 30 minutes hunting oldest daughters PE kit which I washed 3 weeks ago. We spent a day sorting bags, pe kits and clothes last week but as shes 14 I let her do her own.... grrrr, still missing and has pe tomorrow.

    Oh dear, fun and games!

    DH spent a little while last night ironing name labels on to DS2's uniform etc... We had loads of them so popped some on DS1's clothes too.

    No idea why we had labels this time (DH ordered them) - for the last 5 years I've just used a sharpies marked to write on everything. We've suddenly gone up market.....

    Beautiful morning here.....

    Thick fog this morning, looked lovely when the sun started to shine through and now it's just brilliant sunshine, it's going to be a hot one.

    Off in to London at lunch time - meeting and dinner with a client, so an overnight stay. Don't usually stay overnight in London.....

    Enjoy the last of the sun peeps, we seem to be forecast rain from tomorrow for a few days.....

    In money saving news, I'm just about to make an OP which will mean that I've hit my 2013 target, hurrah!

    I've decided (will prob change my mind) that I'm not making any more OP's this year - I'm going to fill my ISA for the next few months with whats left of my allowance and then I'm not sure what....

    Maybe!

    Funny thing is, despite all my selling and buying, I still "only" have 8 handbags - which is the same number that I had 18 months ago. :)

    Ah Lula - I just read the last 16 pages - only for you to end up with the same number of handbags.

    The universe remains balanced, it's oddly soothing in its own way :)
