When I asked for luck I didn't mean the bad variety!!!

Hi Lucky - just catching up with your diary and I'm so pleased to hear you've finally got the ESA sorted!:j Well done with the weight loss too! Things are on the up! Long may it continue!

Cheers SA! Frightened to say it but all seems quite well at the minute (touches wood!).

This morning we used a Gr0up0n voucher that my Mum bought us for a softplay centre which we haven't been to before. It had a high ropes course within it which was right up DS1's street and we enjoyed it, but don't think it would be worth the full non-gr0up0n price. It was geared up towards extra spends too with machines and dodgems crying out to the boys, so along with drinks it cost us £6 for our free trip!

This afternoon we have been out for a family meal. My Auntie and Uncle who live in Yorkshire are up for an overnight stay with my Mum and her partner, so we all went out together along with my sister and her partner. Lovely food, lovely company and lovely Auntie and Uncle insisted on paying so no spends there. That makes the funds available for this half term instantly better and I'm extremely grateful for that. I also stuck to the diet while we were out and I hope to still have a good loss on Tuesday.

Knew I shouldn't have said anything about it all being positive at the moment!! I've had about 3 hours sleep with a poorly DS2 and in the midst of all that we played musical beds with DS1 who couldn't sleep and practically had a panic attack in the middle of the night. Shattered!! Xx

Oh PLMBL XX that is rough.


Are you working today? any chance of a nap? Perhaps a DVD day on the sofa........?


I really hope the day improves x

Not working today and DS2 nowhere near as poorly today as I thought he'd be! It's sunny so think we will attempt going out for a bit and then will collapse on the sofa later! Xx

Thought it was too good to be true! Having said that kids are always ill - I think I've shrunk the t shirt on that front! Spent many a weekend in A&E or waiting for emergency doctor when mine were young! Hope he perks up soon.

Cheers SA, he was spot on while we were out but has gone downhill a bit this afternoon. He sounds like a little old man with his croaky deep voice bless him! Much better than through the night though, when he seemed to be struggling to breathe :eek:.

Today we went to our local EH place. I love it there, the gardens are so beautiful and the kids love the castle. Despite being there at least 10 times before though, DH saw it all for the first time again today. He says it makes it exciting to discover places each and every time but it makes me sad for him. They had a den building event on today however, which genuinely was a first, and we all had a great time. Because we are members it was all free, but I did give in and buy drinks and ice creams for the boys (it was so hot they'd finished what I'd taken from home!).

Called in to Mr T's on the way home and spent £84 :eek:. This was despite saving £14 in multibuys and buying lots of stuff on offer. It better last the week! I've uploaded my receipt to snap & save on T0pcashb@ck as I bought a few items they are offering funds for so will get a we bit back for that. Also got £2 from them the other day for uploading my diesel receipt :T. I like free money .

Hope everyone has had a good bank holiday Xx

Morning

I had EH passes a couple of year back but we seem to live in the part of England that has no attractions like that! Must say our NT passes are the same we have to travel across to different counties to see the nice houses and gardens, you're very lucky to have it all so close Our week is supposed to be a bit of a wash out from today onwards so not sure we will get to go many places as neither the dog nor the kids seem to like the rain

I was reading a book the other day and you and your DH popped to mind, you may have already read it, it's "My sister's Keeper" and there is a man in there who suffers from Grand Mals (have I written that right??) and he has a service dog to warn him. It was really interesting and I wondered why your DH can't get a dog like that? It would give you time to react and get medicines etc before the seizure happened?

Hope you have a lovely day xx

Hi Lucky - I love the sound the that soft play place - I will I was still young enough!
Sometimes you need a big shop so don't beat yourself up about the big spend.
