    Well thanks for asking.
    Made a carrot cake-was going to make that pic of the day but it didnt look quite how i imagined it would. Tasted good though.
    Then did one barrow load of poo picking, considered another photo there...and took DD, ponyplops and puppy love for a 90 minute yomp. Home for lunch and took all the smalls to church to variously help make christingles, rehearse a song, and play with the vacuum cleaner. Home for 10 item ebaying, tea and back to church. Scrubbed DS and dumped him unceremoniously in bed, DD2 is next after the dance off.
    DH has inspections next week so he is beavering away and I am bricking it because my car is in for its mot.
    Will I get in trouble for posting lots of photos?

    Mental day. Spent lunchtime giving feedback on two lesson observations. MOT means two new tyres and a bit of brake pipe. Not sure how much yet.
    Spent £20 in Mr s.
    Photo for today is denuded Christingles.

    They had raisins and dollymixtures on. The sweeties and fruit are Gods bounty and there are 4 sticks for the four seasons.

    You don't have an EF?

    (Although we don't include car in our EF, we expect it to generate annoying bills!)

    No emergency fund for Alch, she likes living on the edge :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
