Evening all

DS2 was really ill Fri/Sat, but picked up yesterday. We didn’t do the bootsale for obvious reasons, but thankfully none of the rest of us caught it *touch wood*. Bless DS2 though, he came out for a dog walk yesterday teatime to get fresh air, and got stung by a nettle
. Then today one of his little friends picked him up and dropped him, and he now has a nasty cut on his back. Hopefully that’s the three things done for him!
DS1 brought two more forms home from school. One for a leavers hoodie (he’s in a 3 tier system so starts High School in September) for £21.60 :eek:, and one for a second trip for £5. This is on top of the trip he told me about laat week for £27.

DH had a lovely birthday on Wednesday, and it was our 15th wedding anniversary the day after, so we have had a nice week. On top of that, DS2 had his first audition for a film which went really well. As we left, the Director said “make sure we have his details because he was bl00dy brilliant! So cute”. Proud Mum moment and fingers crossed it’s a good sign.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31.
