    Lots of lovely readers, thank you.

    We had a good lunch, I think, and leftovers for a week!

    My aunts brought tenners for each of the children and DB's girlfriend came with some screamingly beautiful and expensive ariat long riding boots for DD1. What a very lucky girl.

    Ah that Sunday night feeling!
  • It is great to entertain but it does also feel good when they leave..... Have a good week. Not too long now.
    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

    Oh yes! I worked solidly from nine til two before any breaks. I am glad to do it for people I love but I am not a natural.

    Woohoo. I finally cleared out the markingageddon behind the sofa, all going back to schools. A little left over champagne to celebrate.

    The fact that you had the energy for anything after a week like that is mondblowing... adrenaline is a blessed thing, isn't it? Hope the celebrations were enjoyed by all. Crack the colouring pencils out next week!

    Thanks apple and janey.

    Ooh good luck with yours janey.

    Spent a tenner on fruit. The grocery budget has been annihilated.

    Lots of good stuff sorted at work today.
