    Next have got some nice long sleeve tops at the moment, have a search for Jacquard Top on their website - lots of colour options, dark and lighter summery colours. Maybe one of those with trousers and sandals? (weather permitting!)

    Happy Friday :)

    Looking forward to a long weekend!

    Not a NSD as usual on a Friday :o

    All the bills are paid, another £50ish of the debt. So slow!

    £27 spend in home bargains on all things cleaning related! I shouldn't be allowed in there seriously! and I still forgot to get a washing line!

    Need to do a meal plan and grocery shop. Although tonight is Fish, baby potatoes and veg. Think DS will want savoury rice rather than potatoes though! Must remember to ask.

    I'm looking forward to collecting the smalls and getting bathed and pjs on. I'm so tired today! Youngest managed a full week of half days this week :) The first time since starting in September!

    I am making a WOW wall at home (Stealing school's ideas :o) and have made charts and boarders and all things wonderful to a 4 year old (and the 9 year old but shh don't tell his friends ;))

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

    £50 paid off is fantastic - that's £50 you need not think about again. :)

    And well done to youngest for all that time at school. Must be encouraging for you, too.

    The 'Wow' wall sounds fun! Does this mean lots of Peppa pig, or their own art work, or a mixture?

    A bit of everything Cherry, things they are proud of that they've done/made. I've made 'stars' to write on so they can note down what they are proud of etc
