    Wow, what a rubbish start to the day. Well done for sticking to your guns, though it must have been horrendous. At least you are forewarned for tomorrow.

    Morning :)

    Was more prepared this morning and have got things ready for this evening so everything isn't a rush. It makes me so on edge plans changing and not being in our 'routine' :( Only today to get through though and tomorrow will be back to normal!

    I have popped a card in the post this morning so not a NSD. No other spends to be done though. Ald! starts the 19p veg tomorrow for anyone waiting :) I plan on getting some at weekend so we can have some freshness in our meals and make soup etc.

    Nothing else to say I don't think :cool:

    Hope you all have a lovely day :)

    Only 2 more school get ups!
