Thanks for having my back everyone. Wasn’t sure if I was over reacting. Told DH how annoyed I was and he had a paddy strop, said he wasn’t going to do it and would sell his bicycle. Then went miserable and barely spoke all day while looking like the World had ended. As predicted, he has since back peddled and announced he will ‘only do this one and no more’. Where have we heard that before?!

Mr Lucky did the triathlon this morning and survived in one piece :j. Now hopefully I can get on with being excited for our holiday. 8 days to go :T.
MiL came to the rescue and bought DS1 new school shoes. She also wanted to buy me something new to wear on holiday
so I got a lovely new top and trousers. I was a bit uneasy as I felt guilty that MiL was paying, but also that I’m fat and frumpy and MiL is amazingly slim and chic, but the girls in the shop were so lovely I have actually emailed their head office to sing their praises. One good turn and all that 
.
So, I’ve been awake since 5am today due to this bliddy triathlon, but have caught up on most of the ironing and filled in the API for the airline. I’ve been asked to submit paperwork for my Carer’s account for the last 12 months so have been organising that, and have made a small £6 sale on eBay. I’ve been food shopping, walked the dog and refereed several fights between the boys (:mad:).
Is it bed time yet?!?! XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Thank goodness for that. Well done Mr Lucky and it just shows what you can do when you put you mind to it.
Sounds like you've had a very busy day, hope you get some time to relax tonight.
You've got a fab MIL there
