However this mornings post was much welcome.
I received my warm home discount from EDF. So I will pop to the garage later and have it put on my meters. We will be warm and have electric at least

Evening
No photos allowed to be taken at school at all, there is quite a lot of children under social services care (one of the highest in the town) and it's a safety thing. I'm glad. I don't post photos of my children on SM except a small few I share with very few people so I'm glad other parents can't share pictures of my smalls. If we buy the pictures those who can't be shared either aren't in the photo or their faces are covered (for example if parent A bought one my children's faces would be covered I only realised when I asked DD's friend had she purchased it could she email me a copy and she did however my DD is covered as I haven't given permission for photo's of them to be shared etc)
Haven't put the vouchers for the warm home discount on my meters because I forgot them
and I wasn't going back out in the rain So I will do it tomorrow morning on the way back from the school run.
School party day tomorrow. Have made jam biscuits for DS to take and DD needed sandwiches so will make those in the morning.
When we got back from the nativity smalls where fed lasagne. So much easier today being prepared for a later night. They are all bathed and in bed now.
Nothing much else happening here today boring and quiet. Still raining ... We will need boats for the school run soon :cool:

Morning Just about.
Older two off to school this morning as excited as can be as it's their Xmas parties today.
Youngest is currently painting herself sorry painting me a picture, so I am enjoying a cuppa and 5 minutes.
It's still raining .. will it ever stop? I don't mind cold, but wet makes me miserable!
No real plans for today as I've changed it all to tomorrow Lazy!
Smalls are so excited for the school holidays I think we got about 2 hours sleep before it was time to get up :cool: Wouldn't mind DS was the worst at keep getting out of bed to ask silly things or just tell me that there was only 2 days left :rotfl:
Vet called to confirm a time for collecting ashes tomorrow so will fit the things I need to do in town around that. Will have to take youngest with me to do it all tomorrow too.
Hope everyone has a lovely day
