Thank you. They are going up slowly! Every month I longingly dream about which one I might clear, but must be patient and pay back DH first.

I also collected pin badges, they are nice to have too.

How are you getting on?

All sounding nicely positive jwil..and hope little jwil enjoys his lego whilst his sister is safely at nursery. Having just the one (at any one time) always felt like a special time for me. I felt more 'present' and less hassled..

Hope weather holds your way

Yes, it's rare they get proper one on one time. I must make an effort to do it more often.

It didn't hold, but no sign of thunder here. How was it with you?

Yesterday I managed to do 63 listings between DH and I :T :T Fingers crossed for some sales.

Took the kids out for a picnic in the park yesterday. We got caught up in the rain, but they didn't mind. They enjoyed feeding the ducks, especially the baby ones!

Little jwil is in holiday club again today and little miss in nursery so I have the day to myself again! It's a real luxury Not sure what the plan is yet. Will just potter around again.

I finished week 2 of couch to 5k yesterday. It's not getting any easier :rotfl:

I've done my tax credits renewal online. The income was about £1000 less than I estimated so I'm hoping that will reduce the overpayment by a little. At least it shouldn't go up!
