    Lol. A girl actually called another girl that. They both looked like supermodels so far as I could tell.

    Knew it would be an expensive day.
    Only did half the things I meant to. Still the smalls are coiffeured and well shod. DH has broken up and the sun in shining.

    Hi Al,

    Hope its a good hols for you and your family as i know you and Mr Al work really hard -:)

    Parentals moving in debate - its not for me, my house is tiny anyways and then if we did move somewhere bigger i couldn't see it working - i don't think mine would be relaxed enough and i don't see my Mr wanting anyone else living with us as he would not agree to a lodger. You really just have top do what feels right and works for you x

    I am wondering if the car was a bit near to pony or whether she just took a taste to it :D Lovely image though :)

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Couldn't live with either sets of parents, and don't think most of them would like to either. My mum would, but I definitely couldn't do it. Even if we had a whole farm to plod around in!

    Hope potty training going well.. going to do it with ds2 in the summer, outside!

    Enjoy the holidays!

    A plan has been formed for the rest of the holiday. I have started by spending £12.50 on buttons to revamp a duvet cover for DD1. ( Dye it purple, sew silver horsehead buttons on it).

    Ponyplops turns 6 today.

    I hope she is not too alarmed by the horse heads in her bed, I didn't realise you had !!!!! connections Al :rotfl:

    Hope you're finding some time to relax.

    *Edit: apparently I'm not allowed to mention a well-known Italian crime syndicate, somewhat ruins the joke...
  • What a lovely mum you are. Can't imagine my mum ever refurb ing a duvet cover!
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
