TM6

Good morning campers :hello:
Hi di hi

( I hope you shouted back ho di ho)

Just popping in for a catch up and my morning steppers positive fix! I'm sat up in bed in our caravan in woodland with all the birds singing. Thank the Lord for my lovely IPad and excellent Internet connection here.

Xandersmum, I will keep little Xan in my prayers and I'm sending you mega hugs :grouphug:

We are off into Lincoln today where they are holding both a continental and craft market. Not a No Spending Day for me then! Also it is a special tourism weekend here so many of the attractions are free!

Whatever you are doing today, may it be lovely and relaxed

Hi Fairy... My local Tesco sells a 4 pint carton for £1. It has a purple/pinky label. Does your store not sell this??

Good Morning Positeers

It seems a bit odd for me to not have to write a list - i did it last night as i was all motivated. Didn't get to sleep until after 4am again and been up now since about 7.30

Big warm welcome to teebird this morning :wave::D and thank you for your lovely comment on the thread!! Good Luck with your weekend targets!!

Hope you enjoy your trip TM - am very jealous of both the caravanning and the ipad :rotfl: Oh and the craft fair visit too bet its a lovely day!!

Sligo - good luck with the shopping!! Hope DD1 loves all the bargain dresses and hates the expensive ones

CP - No tescos £1 cartons here not that i have noticed anyhooo, but will be checking next time i'm in - ty for heads up on that . The milk we usually get in there is like £1.38 for 2 litres and local shops have it for 99p - quite a difference as we go through about 2 a day now :eek:

Great to have so many of you joining me in the blastin through mini challenge good luck with all your steps!!!

Afternoon Guys,

Carppy afternoon yesterday - they have discovered that Xans bladder is n't emptying properly so they are looking at some sort of daily catherterising for him. Awaiting a joint appointment with the bladder and kidney team sometime in the autumn. Has come as a real blow, but I held it together until we got outside GOSH, then broke down completely so feeling a bit done in today. None of my family have been in touch to see how we got on, and its times like this I really miss my Mum, she never forgot anything - I know if she was here she'd be making me get a grip!

Anyway, doing a joint list for the rest of today and tomorrow - not going to be a huge one though!

• SB over 750
• 2 Surveys
• DY review
• parcel ebay
• post Ebay
• 20 mins ball physio with Xan
• Swimming
• Make pasta bake for hubs nights
• Trade Games at CEX
• Wash Up
• Make Jelly

Big hugs to you xxxxxxxxxx

Am checking out today early as we are now going to see Florence and her Machine at the Ally Pally tonight, someone couldn't go so we bought their tickets. Bit worried about the SW plan as we have to leave too early for dinner, but not sure what food they will have there. The car load of stuff has been rolled over to tomorrow as we will just stop in at mine on the way up the road

Hope you are all have a nice weekend!
