Made it there and back from the North East feeling refreshed and ready to take on the DGC . Came home late last night and have spent the day cleaning, washing and shopping. Have been to the hospital today with my nose ! They are very pleased with how it has healed and discharged me. One less thing to think about.
I haven't added up my spends , but am still on target for being in budget . Friday we are off to the zoo with both DGC , tomorrow myself and DGS are off on the ski slope . We will be hurtling down the snow on rings and a luge. It was a groupon offer £18 for both of us including jackets, trousers and boots. I am up for anything !
Thursday will be swimming again and possibly the park . Haircut Thursday night . Then Saturday off to friends for the day.
I am feeling very unsettled at home at the minute , for a silly reason. We have 8 car parking spaces and there are now 8 cars here as new people have moved in. I am getting all upset with myself because I may have to park on the road, which is less than 30 yards from my door. For what reason I have no idea !
Anyway need to get ready for tomorrow.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Glad you had a lovely weekend and the hospital went well today, must be a huge relief

We had a great time on the ski slope, sledging etc. Well worth the £18 we paid for one and a half hours , including snow boots, trousers and jackets. I want to go again.
Lunch after £12.45 , bit expensive , but hoping tomorrow will be a cheap day .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Yay for the ski trip. How lovely to do something immersive and energetic.
Weird weather up here, warm but muggy and overcast skies.
I went down to South Cumbria yesterday to visit relatives and was excited for the train journey as it goes along the coast but it was poor visibility and low clouds and the most excitement I had was spotting the engines at Ravenglass. Coupled with the complete mess that Northern have made of the timetable resulting in a 2hour journey taking almost 4hours of my time, it was a bit of a disappointment. Still was lovely to see relatives. Are you up again before the 'summer' is over?LD 12.25 £1600.00/£0700.00 Fn £274.00 LTFn £525 LLTFn £300

I have been up a couple of times for a day visit. The weather is the same here today as well.
