Hi mum she's 11 and sensible with money (unlike her mum) lol. I don't drink coffee as I have a driving job easier with cold drinks but might be a good idea when the bad weather comes I have a flask didn't think of that.

mum2one

shes the same age as my DD, ditto shes pretty sensible with money, again unlike me... def agree with the cold drinks, - sounds daft- but i have 2 of the travel mugs, one or cold drinks and 1 for hot drinks, been the best investment made (they were only £1 ones).

with the winter, u could put soup in the flask. x

I love soup and it'll make a nice change from coffee.

Todays plan is to hang out two lots washing love this weather saves electric not using my drier. Other than that I'm just going to have a general tidy around and make my house tidy again dd is such a mess maker lol.

Im off to mums tomorrow to clean her house ive been going every week since she got cancer it seems to cheer her up seeing me and having a clean house shes always been a tidy person. Its her last chemo session on tuesday so she will start to feel better i miss my old mum i cant wait to see her looking better and hopefully she will start putting weight on ive made her a tea loaf so hopefully that will help.
