    Progress not Perfection
  • I can relax...after DS' birthday party which is today.

    Your holidays seem really late?
  • Morning all. Ball pit partying today.
    If anyone wants to avoid the plastic hell of partybags, block tech which is faux lego is for sale at the online poundshop.
  • Party done. I am thankful for my Mum making the cake.

    I am not thankful for one of the Mums bringing her uninvited (though I understand why she needed to bring him) toddler and sitting him at the party tea table then asking me did she need to pay for his party tea.

    I am probably being mean. She had food for him though. She just preferred to feed him the food the 5 year olds were having.
  • Just dropping in to say Hi :hello:

    Ive been reading your diary for inspiration, but I have a way to go to catch up! I would love a smallholding, but its just a dream at the moment as land is so expensive in the UK, unless we up sticks and move, and I am not sure I am that brave:rotfl:

    I am looking forward to reading the rest of your diary!

    Good Luck :)

    I think she was a bit presumptuous... If I had to take a toddler, I wouldn't of sat him/her at the party table, and fed him your food!
