Bricks Not Books

It was really nice @beanielou and probably made nicer because I had no time to plan anything so it was all spontaneous. Just needed to make sure he sat on the potty before we went out

Did an OP of £4.52 after the Waitrose shop

I have booked the Christmas fair tickets for me and my Mum, and tonight I'll check my online banking and if I feel rich enough I'll book the Christmas activity for us and DS. If I don't feel rich enough it can wait until Monday, when I get paid.

I popped to Tesco while Mr VH fed DS his lunch. Found a packet of duck breasts yellowstickered to under £5! Couldn't leave them behind so they're now in the fridge. I think there's now 3 packs lurking in the drawers, we'll definitely use one at Christmas, might use another during my birthday week and save the third for when we need a treat/pick us up.

I also checked with the nursery manager and it's fine to do a small gift for the nursery staff so we'll go ahead with the hot drinks and nibbles idea. I got some Jacobs chili crackers in Tesco that were on Clubcard offer, we'll see what else I can find that's also on offer during the next few weeks.

I'm feeling hormonal today and DS has been in a fretful mood so neither of us were at our best this morning. Going to try putting a movie on for us this afternoon (possibly Frozen again, if he picks it) and see if we can reset to our usual cheerful selves. He made a "get well soon" card for Mr VH at nursery on Thursday, and also had a little climb of a tree when the staff took them out for a walk. He also slipped over and banged his head on Friday so we have yet another bruise, although at least it's smaller than previous ones.

Dinner tonight is the reduced beef I got on Monday. There's a pile of peeled and diced potatoes sitting in water, we have yorkshire puddings and some chunky veg, so a few small slices of beef will be appreciated but if we're stuffed with carbs then the rest of the protein can go in the freezer.

Have a good week everyone!
