    Hidden where is the free soft play?
    SIMPLY BE-££577.11:eek:
    Very BNPL - £353.00:o
  • Thank you US I feel like I've turned my diary more into a moan book :o Rather than what it's supposed to be for :o

    Another busy day, quite wet today though!
    Didn't stop the planned walks for the Halloween quiz etc.

    Spends today are £5 in the laundrette, we got VERY muddy and I needed to wash the coats so got the clothes done too :D Also £2 on milk and £2 on flour and sugar so we could make halloween cup cakes :rotfl:

    ExOh has asked if I can arrange to stay a couple of extra days so he can come back up to stay and spend time with the smalls. I really want to say yes :o but I haven't yet.. Will think about it some more first.

    No survey money hit the bank yet. Still waiting for over £60 :cool: But going to use it too DS bed if I don't overspend while we're away (I shouldn't do!)

  • Morning all :D

    Still been up since 5am again :cool: Although the kids slept in so I wasn't waking them :rotfl:

    Wet still here. Not sure what to do today. Probably similar to yesterday :o Kids are happy though. I have £3 voucher on G0ogle play might use it for a book seeing we haven't made it into a charity shop yet. That means I can sit and read while the smalls tire themselves in the softplay or ball pool. They much prefer the soft play this time though where as before we spent most of our time in the one with the ball pool.

    Might even get a starbucks :rotfl:

    Still not sure if I want to come home Thursday as planned or stay on until Sunday with ExOh.. decisions I don't like :o

    Have a wonderful day all x

    Follow your instincts/gut on that one Hidden - if you're not comfortable with it then for your own peace of mind it should maybe be a no?

  • It's not so much uncomfortable.. its what will be expected from here. Meh I don't know, trying not to think about it :o

    We had a wonderful day out despite the wet weather. We left site at 11am and didn't get back until 7pm! We visited a lot of places I visited as a child. Kids had a brilliant day.

    Only spends for me today where a coffee £2.20 and some painkillers £2.70 :cool:

    Kids have spent a small amount of their spends from grandparents on a soft toy and a couple of postcards for their scrapbooks :D

    We took pack lunches with us and had dinner in the slowcooker for when we got back. Kids had a later night than usual by the time we'd eaten, showered and got into bed, but it's not a regular thing so I won't worry about it.

    The rain is coming down heavy now, I love the sound on the caravan :o

    Just having a cuppa before heading to bed myself.

    Hope everyone is well x

    Glad you and the smalls are having a fab holiday despite the weather.

    I am not sure if I am overthinking your comment above but I am reading it that either he will expect sex from you or he will expect you to pay out loads of money for things for him and the kids.

    I hope I am wrong on the former but if I am not then it will be rape if you are coerced in to having sex to keep the peace.

    If its the latter then just remember how disappointed you will feel if he rocks up on holiday and expects you to spend all your hard earned money.
