    Hi
    Am I right in thinking you didn't get the pm I sent about a week ago? Not good with this stuff and always post on my phone but I can't see it in my sent messages.

    Best win so far - holiday to Florida
  • DS2 broke up from school today :j. DS1 has one more day to go. He’s being a horrible snappy teenager again so I’m quite pleased he’s the one at school tomorrow :o.

    I’ve won a family ticket to a Halloween event at the local farm. If stroppy teen doesn’t want to come I’ll invite one of DS2’s friends. Pleased to have a freebie banked for half term :T.

    Still no letter from DWP.

    Well done on the win :) Another one who doesn't miss stroppy teenagers. Think yourself lucky you have two boys as stroppy teenage girls are a thousand times worse believe me!

    What a lovely DS2 and Santa Monet

    Hooray to the Win

    Grrr to DWP

    And oooh Edinburgh at Christmas would love that
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Edinburgh is lovely at Christmas even when it is even busier than usual.
