    It's great to hear you're getting back on track. :) You will miss your son; I know I'm going to miss mine terribly when he returns to school next week. It's how you handle this which is important. I know I handled it in the wrong way last year, so not a criticism at all.

    Wallpaper strippers aren't too expensive to buy.

    Ah, I thought you meant someone to come in and do it! Because of the state of the walls under the paper, we can't use a steamer to get the paper off as it'll ruin the plasterboard underneath :(

    I know that he's fine when he's with other people; he's a really sociable character and loves exploring and playing with others. I need to remember that when it's hard :)

    Can't use a wallpaper stripper: see above :)

    September 2nd, 2016.

    Is anyone else excited about the news that Tim Hortons is expanding to the UK? We had many a donut from there when we were in Canada and they're very yummy! Just hope they're cheaper than Krispy Kreme are ;) Although, that's not going to be good for my waist line...

    In other news, second training day done and dusted :) it was fine, nothing too taxing and plodded along. I feel like I'm ready for the students arriving on Monday :) I took leftovers for lunch too; chicken chasseur with sweet potato mash and green beans. Very tasty it was too :)

    NSD 2 of the month today. Tomorrow won't be one as I need to buy a birthday card and do the weekly grocery shop as well. I'm going to spend Sunday batch cooking some food for DS and get stuff made for the freezer. Going to do a SC something for us too, so a nice, slow day on Sunday together as a family.

    Transferred £8.20 to our emergency fund today, as a little something different. I haven't put anything in there for ages, so not sure why I have today, to be honest!

    Happy Friday :)
