I named the 'bump' and then the bear takes on the bump name when the baby gets his own name. So we had Aubrey, Ferdinand, Elvis and Fruitbat. I had to track the bears down on Ebay as M-i-L bought the first one on the cross channel ferry, luckily he had a label on his butt, so all the bears bear a resemblance, like the brothers do.

That is so gorgeous:T

Just had to look up who this Mr Hardy is, not too shabby but prefer the delightful Mr Cumberbatch or Depp although in RL prefer my men with short hair! Still who am I to be picky :-)

See Mr CB always looks a bit harsh to me, Depp pre Jack Sparrow I'd agree with :rotfl:

Sounds like a fun time Bob.

My kids have all had 'blankies' and I have five and wash weekly from a very early age so they get used to it. I had one teddy when I was small and still remember the trauma of 'the wash'!

Glad you enjoyed Mr Hardy, personally I can't see the appeal, his face is just a bit......Odd?! It always amazes me how we all like different types.

Right I will go now before you all come back and tell me how wrong I am :rotfl:

I think it's just as well we all like different types, or else there'd be riots every time The Guy walked past!!!

My OH is forever saying he wishes he was a bit bulkier, but I like super slender men, and luckily for me he doesn't mind me being a chunkier lady-type

I'm sort of with you on the Hardy front Drawingaline I can see why others are so keen, but I just think he's a bit... short. Ha.

If any of the filming work at your place ever involves Tom Hardy, I'm sure a few of us will volunteer our time to help out!:D

But that's what school was like wasn't it. All the girls fancied the same two boys and the same with the boys.:rotfl:

Good Morning

Plans for today have changed slightly due to a meeting being cancelled that was between two other appointments. So have ended up with a 3 hour window back home before we go to appointment 3.

Wealth

* At the moment I have £818.07 in my business account. In total (& including the £818.07) I have £1163 as my Feb revenue.

* My bills for the business in Feb total £597. We need around £300 as a minimum to fund our personal bills in drawings. My buildings insurance is actually £497 this year not £400. And £800 owing to the accountants. Total needed £2194

* Gap between Feb revenue & total needed is £1031. Time remaining to accrue, 3.5 weeks or £294.57 per week in new business.

* In the last week I have taken 3 new bookings worth £275 in deposits, plus forward revenue in events. So it is not impossible to think of funding the above from business if all remains well.

* If I did get that one film job (£1500) then I would hit that in one fell swoop for 1 days work. However it's ever so quiet on that front in my inbox....So no point dreaming away on that.

* The best thing I can say right now is that I am not looking to borrow the full amount! £1031 And every bit of work between now and then can go towards it. Plus our own economising.

Health

* Just been to the doctors to take DD for her MMR booster. That's it now till she is 3.5. I remember thinking last time that is such a big amount of time. But it comes around! I did have to smile a tiny bit when the nurse said ' if you travel outside Europe be careful to check with us on any additional jabs needed' as I can't remember the last time we went to the Seaside other than at DSs family's, let alone leaving Europe

Organisation

* Cleaned the kitchen counter down properly. Love a nice shiny counter for when we get in at night.

* Made food for DD and I for the day, a day out till after the school run I had thought but as appointments changed we had a bit more time in the house.

* Dinner for tonight will be spaghetti with leftover chicken and veggies from the roast dinner. Plus garlic bread and salad.

* Finalised our FD current account switch. All due to be completed for the 14th.

* Checked banking all ok.

Right off again in 30 mins.

Hi All

Well I'm on the naughty step today as I took myself off to Mr Costalots for a cheap pick me up. Better than a crack habit I suppose

Hope everyone's OK!

Wealth

* No change to the business account today. No enquires since Sunday.

* Checked my banking too.

* OHs tax coding letter came in today, he has to pay a bit back from last year but nothing to worry about.

* OH WFH today so a saving on travel for both of us as I will use his card to travel this afternoon and it will cap at £4.50 for the day.

* Used up roast chicken from Sunday lunch for our sandwiches today.

Health

* All Bob's are bouncy and well. I will be wandering off for my long walk shortly. The sun's out so will be nice.

Organisation

* £20 spent of shopping budget today. Had to buy some of the more expensive staple items like a sack of catfood & bag of coffee. Adds £6.50 straight away but lasts a long time.

* Added 200 points and a triple points voucher to the shop, surprised that they let both go on at the same time.

* Recycled two batteries in the collection point in the supermarket.

* Washing packed away, new load done and hung out.

* Bin and recycling out.

* Discussed this evening with OH. We have a small booking for a one hour activity. But by the time I get back with the kids it's quite tight on me getting back out again, then would be gone till 9pm roughly. As Mr is working from home it makes more sense for him to go down, let them in and then do some work on one of his side projects on the laptop whilst the class is on.Again, very grateful for a supportive partner.

Think that's me.

Bob
