Dd has insisted on coming to the dr with me recently, when I am discussing things I do not want her to hear. So she wears dh's ear defenders and sits with her back to me!

Bless her Apple she sounds such a caring daughter.Great idea with the ear defenders as well. Possibly hard for you to feel like you can't have your privacy. But I'm sure its not the worst example of that as you will well know. Trying to go to the bathroom with a small person clinging onto your leg about to fall over or pull all the toilet roll off before you can catch them has to be worse :rotfl:

Good morning All

Have to rally the troops very soon as we need to leave by 9. Have someone using the space this morning so need to let them in.

We have arranged a play date for my son so once we've done the let in we can go and do that.

I'm really hoping to get cash today...

Have been using up leftovers from Sundays roast chicken meal the last two nights. Monday I did a chicken and roasted veg bake with salad. Last night I boiled the carcass for stock and to get all the little bits of chicken off, then I added the remaining chicken, plus leftover potatoes. Added a bowl of instant noodles that hadn't been eaten up and some fresh veg. And a bit of curry powder. I served it with mash. Yum!
Anyway the fridge is now very bare. Need to think of something for tea. Don't want to give my son pasta again.

Have one date in December that I now have 1 booking and two enquiries for. It's weird how dates go like that. Some you could sell thrice over and others.....like the grave...

Bye

Bob

Hey

Mid day slump setting in. Play date done. Walked over and back so thats 90 mins walking as well as time in the park. Healthy.

Picked up the cash from today's event.

On our way back we stopped into the supermarket and bought pizza and oven chips. And Marmite! I used £5 in nectar points so only had to part with £5 of precious cash. I got an extra pizza as they were just £1 each so that will do another night of meals for OH and I.

I can't say why in case it's being read but some cash I was expecting has now been reduced. Not happy but in the interests of long term relationships I have to suck it up. It does mean I will be working for free basically. But again it could have long term benefits so have to be positive.

I have had another enquiry today that sounded fairly keen. Fingers crossed.

Another busy day in the Bobarella household, great you are get the bookings but how annoying to get less than you thought. I hope the future long term relations bear fruit in your favour.


Food purchases were good £1 for a pizza can't be beaten!


Have a good day tomorrow, H x

Thanks Huggle

Very late/early post from me but I don't have to rush out in the morning.

Survived the event tonight. Lots of good feedback.

A black cloud appeared in my inbox the moment I walked in however so I need to look into that tommorow. Always something!

Going to hit the hay.
