Sorry to hear the holiday was cut short by illness
Hope they're all better soon. Good idea to get another break on the horizon. Always good to have something to look forward to.

I think we are all on the road to recovery! I'm glad we have another week off.
So back to debt busting. Back to normality and back to being organised. Things have gone a bit too relaxed and only the minimum payments have been being made
I have meal planned. I am going back to fat club. I will stick to it this time
I haven't booked another holiday yet. We do have October half term one booked. I think we will try and get a weekend in the summer holidays just as a last minute thing if I have saved enough.
I hope everyone is well
I will be catching up with you all over this week

Hello W. I haven't forgotten about you. Still can't sign in on the tablet and was away for three weeks.
What a shame about your holiday but I'm glad the wee ones are on the mend. The wee chap next door had the bug last week. Really nasty apparently. Hopefully you can manage a few days away during the summer holidays.
Your debt busting may have slowed a little recently but you are still doing so well. It's good to see you being in such a positive frame of mind.
Take care xxHave adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -

Thank you
TF honestly it was the worst sickness bug we've come across.
Well weighed in at fat club this morning So not a NSD.
Also put electric on and done my food shop and meal plan. Still need fish though. Sainsbugs didn't have what we wanted. Could switch this of the meal plan for this week though I guess.
We are having a quiet afternoon. I'm going to work some more on the WOW wall and get it ready for the new half term. We already have our countdown made to the summer holidays
School is rather busy this term with loads of things for youngest moving on from nursery into Reception and for DD moving up from KS1 to KS2.
Smalls need some bits of uniform. Think I'm just going to get t-shirts and make do with the other items. There is only 6ish weeks of school left.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
