Tuesday 3rd November: What small DFW things will you be doing today?

BB - what a nice post. It's always lovely to get a bit more insight into how others feel about the thread and the community here. It always sounds like you pack so much into your life with the children and home educating. Plus dealing with your husbands headaches. I'm glad you are in the building, kettles on

Ccl thank you for unravelling the mystery of the thread title.

Bob I just wanted everyone to know they are appreciated even if I'm always joining in with the conversation.

BB I didnt know what was wrong with the title either but I didnt want to admit it!!! Oh and I cant talk to anyone about my financial situation so this thread really helps me.

School sent home the letter about the school trip on Monday this week. They want £150 by this Friday if you want to put your name down!!! He does want to go but is still a bit worried about the cost. Isnt it awful that he is so worried about our money situation. Anyway, I have decided, the cheque is already written.

CCL you sound like you are having a really hard time of it at the moment. Hugs.

I am another who needs a cheap, healthy snack mid morning. My big bowl of porridge doesnt last me, especially when I have been to the gym the night before. Thanks for the ideas.

Right, I am sorry if I have missed anything important. I am tired and the brain has gone to mush. Bedtime I think.

went to Lidl and got a pack of salmon (2 fillets) for £1.88 and a pack of rice £1.00, that's cheap packed lunches for work sorted for two days!
