I Swear is an awesome film! Education is definitely key. I was talking to an ex head teacher about it and he was telling me about a boy who had Tourette’s, they tried everything to help but he had to move schools. It was the 12 year old girl whose mum had complained when he kept saying show us your t@ts He says he still thought about the boy and wondered if there was more that could’ve been done.

if it makes you feel better, I’m up to:
7 Disney dvds (shoot me now)
New dvd player
Exfoliator
2 plastic egg boxes (only need one!)
I also need to find gear for my son’s residential trip and hope it arrives and fits before 20th. (I hate shopping).
On reflection, the pasta bowls sound like they would bring far more joy to my life. James Martin you say..

Well they do look nice and the replacement bowls I bought don’t sit flush with the others and have a different weight to them. It is the small things and at least Vinted won’t be anywhere near full price. £10 plus postage is surely a bargain!

Fabulous on the bowls. It is all very well having arbitrary no spends on xxx but then something you really want and have wanted for a while and so you just HAVE to go with it. I don't even think you have failed at the no vinted spends because what you really meant was "no arbitrary" spends I'm sure 😉
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 !!5 -

Just watched ‘The Assembly’ with Nicola Sturgeon. Absolutely superb. Some hard hitting questions. From autistic & learning disabled people. It was funny in bits & very sad in others. Funnily enough I am currently dipping in & out of her autobiography.
My pain levels are high, my mobility and balance are not good at the moment and this is having a knock on effect on my mental health.
