My boys were chosen to take part in a photo shoot at a clip and climb centre yesterday. They didn’t get paid, but they got to climb for free, which we were all happy with. It was nice to see them being active, particularly DS1 who used to be a good little climber but now spends more time online than anything else
. We probably won’t be doing much this weekend as the weather is pants and we are skint, so at least they’ve done something :T. Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Climbing sounds fun! The weather is awful isn't it. Doesn't really make going out fun.
Hope you're okay

Only this one though, I'm not crazy
Weather is trying to trick me into thinking it will be nice today but forecast is rain from 9.00 all day.

Bumped into my Mum, Grandma and Auntie today when I’d nipped out for milk etc. Lovely to see them. Mum gave me some cash and said I have to buy some new clothes as I always look a mess. Not sure whether to be chuffed at prospect of new clothes or cry that I always look a mess :think:.
Haven’t been anywhere else today. Had a house full of kids earlier as DS2 and his pals chose my house to play in. Fed them all pizza for lunch.
Have washed the designer handbag in the washing machine. Will see how it dries. I haven’t lost anything if it doesn’t work out as it was destined for the bin anyway. This way, if it is salvageable I may get a few pounds still on eBay.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Your mum was maybe just as not as tactful as she could have been.
It is like my mum who loathes the fact I wear jeans 99% of the time!
Ho hum.

My Mum was near the back of the queue when tact was being handed out!!
She has lectured me that the money is for clothes for me and nothing else. I had to do my best Brownie promise
