Thanks beanie. All good but frantic week

Good things - NSD yesterday :j (under my new regime of not counting dinner or bus money for kids to get to school), almost half way through my gruelling week and then can relax next week - hoping to visit London so need to find some vouchers for some attractions.. we'll go by train so thinking of that 2:1 deal the trains do.
It also looks as if we will have made some sales on the bay, not much, but something.
Will need strong coffee today - but onwards and upwards

Morning Brizzle
All sounding good
We don't have any spare money to be giving cash, although having said that there is a steady trickle through the school for local hospice and efforts overseas - non-uniform day, cake/coffee sales, fetes, social events with tickets- probably all adds up to £5-10 a month, only you don't notice it much. Had to cancel dd payments to charities when we came unstuck with finances!

As others have said, I do donate a lot of time, which results in fund raising. everyone does it in their own way - and I think the older I get the more I want to give/do something? does that make sense?

Hope you mum makes a speedy recovery.

NOA

It does make a lot of sense, NOA, a lot.

Thanks, Mum seems to be quite chipper and pleased we are popping by again next week.

A good day today. Not a NSD though as have just relented and bought DD1 clothes from a website she had her eye on. Being shipped from China..hmm. We shall see. Maybe a lesson to be learnt here, but won't judge until they turn up! (assuming they do :eek:)

An AFD. Will update the signature.

Still having to cope with the early mornings, but the evening work has stopped for a bit..thats a relief tbh

Hope everyone good xx

Hope the clothes come up trumps.

Hi all :wave:

A weird day today..just hit a wall, sick and headachey, so delegated necessary chores to kids and stayed in bed. DD1 did the shopping - meat, Hoover bags, bread and an EBay parcel so all necessary.

Hoping to recharge and get my mojo really back in 6th gear from more sleep. Last fortnight or so was super busy and I know it's why I got ill. I am also going to exercise next week as I don't have to set the alarm early, whoop :j

Get well soon brizzle! Thinking of you and sending big hugs!

Thanks guys, all perked up now.

Spent loads on entertaining last night, but as usual over catered so lots left for the freezer. Spent minimal on wine/beer so that's good, people bought loads and we also had some from the Autumn stash. Just been reading the paper (bliss), everyone else is still asleep

Looking for a LSD...will see how it goes Also will try and do some paid work and do some decluttering of clothes, that'll make me feel better and more 'in control' when it all gets busy again (which i know it will!)

Hope everyone has a good day.
