  • Thanks ladies :D.

    Dropped DS1 off for his school trip this morning. Won't see him now for a week :eek:. Then went into town at DS2's request, and was conned into a few things by both him and DH! One of which was a winter coat for DS2 which was very much needed (and reasonably cheap from Primarni), but the others were unnecessary spends :o. I got nowt as usual!

    Foot was better than it has been, but still not brilliant. Hopefully injection will kick in properly soon.

    Achieved 4 NSDs this month which is actually quite good for a multiple birthday/last bit of holidays/back to school month. Will try for more in October.

    Ooh, don't think I'm worthy of the Pennywise title :rotfl:.

    I've been nervous about waving him off for days, and it's been on my mind all day, worrying if they'd get there safely. The no fighting between the boys has been nice, not gonna lie, but I do miss him already :o. This is his third school trip but by far the longest one yet Xx

  • There's no mobile signal up there, but apparently there's a pay phone in the residential centre, so if he wants to (and can figure out how such an archaic machine might work :rotfl:) he can phone us. The school have Twitter (I don't but can see the page), and they posted a photo from the ferry mid afternoon :D.

  • Still no call from DS1 but I've been keeping updated on Twitter and they seem to be having (very wet!) fun. DH was snoring really badly last night so I snuck into DS1's empty bed. All good until DH woke me up to ask why I had moved :mad:.

    Was hoping today would be a NSD but needed a small top up shop so did that today, and hopefully tomorrow might be a NSD instead. Not been up to much else today, just cooking/cleaning/ironing. Went to see MiL as she's had a problem with her banking, and my Mum called in to mine with the contents of her penny jar for the boys! They've got about £10 each :T.

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend Xx

  • Not a NSD as I forgot it was coffee morning at DS2's school, so £1 donation paid. After school, DS2 was desperate to go spend some of the money he got from my Mum yesterday, and while we were shopping I bought cat food as it was on offer. On the way out, I found a pound, so if I hadn't bought the cat food I could've still claimed a NSD :rotfl:.

    De-skanked DS1's bedroom today while he wasn't around to complain :p. Still no word from him, so taking that as a good sign.

    Really windy here today due to the tail end of 2 hurricanes :eek:. Pegged out but put 4 pegs on each item :cool:.

    Awful news about the mass shooting in Las Vegas :(.
