I wrote a looooooooong post whilst waiting for tea to cook and my battery died :mad:


The jist of it was have sold another item and listed some more clutter for sale! surveys are rolling in and the pot is up to £30 towards christmas!


I have booked the kids eye tests, paid for master H's camp, chased up baby H's Child benefit, wrote a meal plan for the week, read the energy meters and nagged Mr H to tackle the ironing.....(it's remains untouched ) picked up superman some plimmys £5..... gets harder each year as he grows to avoid laces!

3 little H's deposited to school and baby H is on his mat cooing and gurgling.:A


Flying trip to asda for some baby bits - baby H is still very dinky and in still in newborn clothes so the warmer bits we bought for the upcoming colder mornings are massive on him..... they will certainly last the full winter so a few additions to his wardrobe were made to get him through! He growing and is certainly eating enough :rotfl:picked up some bits of shopping we needed alongside the aldi shop ....£60 later... £35 was clothing and £8 for the present cupboard...... thats right I have started my Xmas shopping!!!



Discussed the new school dinner menu with the boys and highlighted the days they like which should help with the food budget and save me some time on the pack up. I am even more pleased that it shows the progress superman has made with his food and eating


I'm hoping to write some letters to sort a new payment plan for my DMP, sort some washing, clean the kitchen and peel a big pan of spuds for superman's mash..... baby H obliging obviously!

Gosh that sounds like a busy day, well done.

OH and I (me?), are pretty good, have another condition to add to my portfolio:eek::D, but with luck might not cause too many problems. My energy levels are the best they have been for a couple of years, so have been lavishing attention on my lovely neglected garden and I have promised the house similar treatment once winter arrives:o

Holidays have been good, almost 4 weeks in Dumfries and Galloway, a week in mid Wales and ATM we are in West Dorset (where we lived for 30 years), catching up with some old friends too which is great. Next week staying in the Cheddar area and then home to sunny Shropshire. We are fortunate and keen to explore/revisit as much of the mainland of the UK before we fall apart completely.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Yay you are back :j:j.

Still amazes me how you keep all your balls in the air!

Christmas is also cancelled here!! Xx
