    Great money news. DHs timetable means we can share lifts three days a week.
    If you dont count parents evenings that saves £540 over the academic year.

    Ponyplops in season. Very comic.

    Hurrah for good news on money front, that's certainly a saving and nice to be able to spend a bit of time together en-route too!

    It occurs to me that I have no idea what a Ponyplops in season entails. Have you got one of those sprays people get for female dogs and have to follow her around spraying her nethers whenever a male's in sniffing distance?

    Mind is boggling! Enlightenment please? x

    PS: Hope your olds are happily settled in.

    Great news on the car share/money saving.
    Is ponyplops nicely behaved in season - or - a right mare. (have 2 geldings so avoid such things here)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    The ugly...diet has not happened.

    Day 1 of my attempted 5:2 today, strewth, I could eat the laptop :o

    Still, I think I stayed under 650 calories, which is quite possibly a miracle. This may be the first day I've dieted in about 10 years.

    That would be impossible for me.

    Well done.

    Olds move house tomorrow. Have spent a fortune lately on school related stuff. Money for tech. Piano book. Revision guide. Residential.

    Hate to think how it is at independent schools.

    Olds are in. Phew!

    More requests for money from school today.

    Was going to claim NSD but spent £6 on DS socks.

    :rotfl: I just can't imagine it ... apart from seeing Ponyplops as some kind of pantomime horse fluttering her eyelashes at all and sundry!

    Sounds like you're having a busy (and costly) time! x
