Don't be down petal. Im going to enjoy myself even if we are poor. I am going to be as MSE as possible as am so short of money. I have counted that I have done 28 hours which is 3/4 of money towards the computer. I still have to pay off the £75 meal too which is a bit depressing.
Still the weather is lovely so I am going to do washing and ironing and also maybe some work for summer school so I can enjoy as much of next week as possible with parents.
Mr Clive King the author of Stig of the Dump. One of those amazing books from a 1970s childhood that encouraged me to live my life to the fullest has just passed away. Amazing man amazing book. If anyone has kids this is an essential. RIP you wonderful man and thank you for the imagination that made me what I am today.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
OK who has a laptop for a few days and then loses the charger?????? I could understand if I was a hoarder but my house is tidy and I have looked everywhere. I will try again.

I have been looking and it has helped me to sort out my store room. I am hoping it is somewhere obvious and I keep missing it as I am so stressed. Tummy bug is back. Im going to have a little lie in as have been up since 5.
Apart from my forgetfulness all is well. Parents and brother coming at 1.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Yeah I can imagine, seen pics on the news of places that are usually crammed with people looking like a ghost town!

It was in my red handbag! I have no idea how I managed that! I have had to spend £50 odd on an SSD card to speed the laptop up and hopefully will get Windows added too and then I will be functional. My brother bought me an extender so I can use it in the garden. Hurrah.
I do two lessons today each will be for one hour, on Friday we visit a local Castle and on Saturday I am taking the students to London for a walking tour. v exciting.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
