Hi there

Thanks GG..nice to have you as a subscriber,

I agree. It's a sometimes self defeating and ultimately unhealthy way of trying to regain some 'me' time, I stay up later and then often have a v early start for work so pretty much running on empty. It changes really over time ..now feel that as kids don't go to bed until 9pm or so I have no time when I am not feeling responsible or having to chivvy or organise or be on duty..so having toddlers was tricky and so, so tiring but there are some things I find hard to adjust to about having older kids too..

Anyway enough of my wittering!

A pretty LSD..

- some groceries, especially as kids needed packed lunch stuff
- a payment towards school camp (which costs more than our week camping ( so 4 of us) by some stretch!)
- leftovers for tea..made into a scrummy pasta sauce. Eaten a lot of pasta this week but needs must!

Think that's it. Hoping to do the scores on the doors Caz style after the weekend and update the sig.

I'm dreading the days when they go to bed at 9/10pm! I will never get control of the tv will I?

Thanks folks!

Yes DDFW..I plan on running tomorrow!! My virtual running partner keeping me focussed on getting out there, whatever the weather!

Today has been a low key day:

- spends on postage..can't be helped.
- Ebay sales tracking well..another £100 so far:T
- £90 :eek: but necessary annual subscription for a club DD1 does
- lovely lunch with my family. Darling niece here for a few days which is great and as she gets on so well with my 2 am looking forward to the next few days with her:D
- dinner from freezer..HM spag bol. I will also make a salad, we have some amazing turnips in our veg box which are awesome orange and purple colours which look fab in the bowl then some TV vegging.. The start of my holiday WHOOP

Not sure what we will do this week as it's the Term Break but may be low key. No need to spend money hey! :rotfl: I am quite keen to make some Halloween costumes though and also maybe do some Xmas sleighs a la Mrs Tilly..now where was that link? :think:

Thanks granny. Hope you're well.

Have woken up and can't work out the time cos of the clocks..either way it's fine, It's going to be a gentle day anyway.

OH is making coffee and pancakes . I am reading the paper on the iPad...one of my vices that I can't give up. DDs and DN are happy and enjoying the start of a holiday

Today I will cook a Sunday roast of belly pork. Nice cheap joint, altho organic and v local so it will be SO tasty . Think as it's so autumnal I will do mash rather than roast pots. If I can persuade OH to get some apples from the allotments I will also make an apple amber for pud.

Nothing to TT today . No more bid on the EBay items listed overnight but still several days to go.

Think DH will take girls out this afternoon but hopefully a LSD. Think that's it! Lazy Sunday! Love 'em!

Morning Brizzle, I feel just the same about Sundays. We were up fairly early and prepared everything for dinner and when we get home from church, we have a restful afternoon ahead of us.

Have a day day

Whoops. No run yesterday. Sorry DDFW..you put me to shame will get my A into G soon I promise and in the meantime keep up the good work.

Did get to the station v v early though today for DD1 and OH to get a train! packed them off with my C@sta card so that should be a free lunch with all those loyalty points

Yesterday was v quiet as I predicted. Lush tea of apple amber ( made with apples from our allotment). We also had belly pork (altho no crackling ..think the fat in the tray splashed it and stopped it hardening), mash, sweet corn, carrots, broccoli, steamed leeks, apple sauce, gravy...amazing if I say so myself

V v glad that the storm seems to have passed this part of the SW by

Off out later to get some fabric for Halloween costumes..has to be cheaper and much more fun that buying 'em so looking forward to that. Also planning to go to the library. Free books, YAY!!

Will do some TTs in a moment.
