Morning,
It's a bit dire out there today, definitely don't think I'll be going for a walk but I've loads to get done any how.
I need to finish my list from yesterday and make dinner today...roast chicken. Any left, I'll have for lunch tomorrow.
Need to do a food shop online for the next two weeks, then I only need to buy the basics and meat.
Have a great Sunday x0 -

I wish I could find a cheap, dependable, large screen phone that was up to using modern apps and had a replaceable battery available. The whole thing seems a bit of a scam, before I went sim-only they were trying to talk me into a new iphone at something like £39 a month. I'm currently using a 6 yr old android that has done very well but is starting to have problems. I'm not sure what to do now, as I certainly can't afford a new phone. I do have one of the cheapie £10 phones that came with £10 of credit, but it is really only capable of making calls. I depend on the phone so much now for the diary and other things, I'm hoping to figure something out before my current phone dies...
How fortunate that you kept the washing machine from your old house! :j
I hope your DS sorts himself out soon0 -
My DS bought a lovely Samsung phone for £150 but that is a lot of money
. My phone is getting old and I'm on PAYG so have a similar problem.

He has his phone back its just not unlocked enough so he can do anything on it.
In other DS related news...I have a meeting with his Year head this morning. Various things, the main one being that I think his maths teacher is singling him out, the other stuff I'm not going to put on here.
Busy day today as DD has Guides and DS has Cadets, it's an open evening at Cadets as its a new building they're in so all and sundry will be there to open it.
Not in work today due to DS situation, so I will lose a day's pay but I'm planning to make it productive, I've got a few things I can get done that'll save time at the weekend plus if I get chance I may just take 5 and have a coffee somewhere.0 -
Good luck with the meeting, hope you find it useful x0
