Welll I think it is disgusting keeping you waiting for so long.
Hope it all gets sorted very quickly.
Take care.

Well we got our holiday money from virgin on both credit cards now. I have phoned one of the credit cards and asked for the money to be transferred into current account do this is progressing. Just need to do this with the other one and put the money by for a future holiday/want.
Tonight we ordered, bought and collected a takeaway for my parents - to his is their mothers and father day present as they did want a present. We did this also with the in-laws paid for a chippy dinner the other week and we all had it in the garden

Hubbie now back at work this week in the kitchen and i finished for the summer holidays. Feeling very lost as not doing homeschooling as well as not really going out and about - not confident to this at the moment but will need to go soon to start to get the new school uniforms sorted. 

We got notified about son going to school 2 days Thursday and Friday and daughter going 2 days one week and then 3 days the following week and then j Sweeney had his speach to say  all kids in full-time so that upset the apple cart. Will see what happens nearer the time.

I am so pleased to hear you have received your refunds.
I know it is so difficult to understand what schools will do come August, as you say time will tell.
Take care.

Made an overpayment to the mortgage the other day of £300 for the month of July. 
Maybe will consider making a big overpayment to the mortgage next month as money is sitting in and account to do this.

Been out and about at the shops with the kids and wearing our face masks and hopefully got most of the school wear now in. Trying to get my son to start to get used to his facemask by visiting a few shops. Today he got his first haircut -  did not need to wait long and looks a totally different boy. 

Hubbie off for a few days next week so we are going strawberry picking (booked), having an afternoon tea in friends back garden for her birthday and also booked to go to five sisters zoo. Looking forward to going out to somewhere different from the swimgpark. 

We have booked a holiday during school October week to a flat in fort William. Fingers crossed we will get away and it's a new place for us to visit.

You sound as if you and the family have been very busy.
Great news on the overpayment to your mortgage.
Take care.

Made an overpayment to the mortgage today of £700 and put some money into the ISA accounts. 
The day we visited a zoo near us last it was a yellow warning for rain so went for a few hours and got a email link to go back there,  so booked up to go a  Sunday night 9th August and at the moment the weather looks dry.
We went to dino crazy golf last Saturday and had cake &i juice in the wee cafe nearby outside. It was nice.  
Due for my first hair cut and colour this Friday and then will no doubt sit out the back as supposed to be great weather. On Saturday we are going to another farm park in Livingston with our picnic. At least we have had a few trips away before returning back to school.

Waiting to find out what happens with the schools tomorrow and they do need to go back but I'm nervous about starting back working in the school. Tell will tell what happens.
We have booked another holiday away in scotland. Going to largs in September and fort William in October week. Both only taking small deposits and pay when we get there. Something to look forward to.
Was out tonight with my mum and dad and brother dinner in a local restaurant in the beer garden - it was really nice and enjoyed it.

I am so pleased to read about your excursions, they really sound great.
I am sure the rules re start of schools might change, hopefully not.
Take care.
