Hi all, sorry I’ve been MIA. DH had a couple of really confused days and then I had a bout of puking and the other. Yackety.
Hoped the upset stomach would’ve counteracted the stress eating, but it didn’t, and I gained a pound and a half this morning
.
DH was well enough this afternoon to do a Colour Run with DS1 at his school for Sport Relief. Great fun. Sometime since the last time I posted I’ve had a fab parents evening for DS2 :T, the boys got their haircuts (DS2 looks so grown up now) and I sold a silver keyring I got for my 21st for £11.50. Not much but it’s been sat in a drawer for almost 19 years.
And I’ve won a massive box of Thornt0ns chocs apparently! Got the email this afternoon

Evening all.
Had a nice-in-some-ways-stressful-in-others kinda weekend. Will focus on the positives - Mum came over on Saturday and gave us all some dollars for Easter :T. We also went to a National Trust place with MiL on Sunday.
Been gorgeous sunny weather the last few days but it’s going to change from tomorrow. Boys break up for Easter on Thursday and was really hoping for good weather so we can do free stuff outdoors 
. Only 6 more weeks til Florida :eek:. Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
