Been to a drizzly fire station open day which was nice for the littlies. popped into the swimming baths on the way back and after a year break, we have signed them up again for lessons. £90 lighter for the term, but I'm hoping being a little bit older now will make a difference, plus we've told them they can't go in the sea, body board or surf until they can swim - so suddenly they are quite keen to do it!
Car sounding horrible on way back so booked into garage as something isn't right, just hoping its not a costly thing!

I'm glad it isn't just me who notices that. Everything is posted an hour earlier than it actually is. Perhaps the MSE team forgot to adjust for daylight savings?Baby Step 1 - £1k Emergency Fund - COMPLETE

Lovely weekend over and need to pop to work for a few hours today, then take the car to the garage and then more family arrive for a few days, weather is looking beautiful so will absolutely hit the beach at some point.
Two things sold on fleabay, but profits promptly spent on a new picnic blanket (figure this saves money in the long term as we usually take our own food with us on days out)
Mr T order done and due later.
Bank account looking woeful, but payday looms (as does a return to work - how has it gone so quick!)DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
