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.0 -
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:hello:Wife & SAHM of 4 children aged between 9 and 3
