It does make it more expensive though. The trains £5.70 return and youngest is still free until her Birthday

Morning, today isn't going ahead as planned. Some of yesterdays results weren't good enough. They have changed some things about and back Saturday morning for repeat bloods/x ray and hopefully today's appointment will go ahead Saturday.
I need to go into town this morning. Youngest just eating a snack and then I'm going to drop her into school and will go onto town to get some things sorted - and go for a coffee in M&S because I have a voucher for a coffee
I have seen the perfect present for her birthday but is she too big for it now I'm wondering. It's hard but I can't see the present being on offer with the added bonus of a discount code for long. Randomly rambling on here.
Hope you all have a lovely day

Morning Wannabe. Sorry to hear DD's results aren't what was hoped for. Does that mean you might have to take all the smalls with you to the children's hospital on Saturday?
Hope the buses are back to normal now and you're not hanging around for ages.
Do you mean DD might be physically too big for the present or she might think it's too babyish? It being on offer and having a discount code seems too good to miss
Enjoy the coffee. xx0 -
Thank you Tea, going to PM you in a mo.
I thought it might have been too babyish for her, then when I'd posted here I went back to it and it had sold out
Too big of a bargain.

I made it in to town. Got done things that needed doing and some nicer stuff too.
Had a disagreement with the housing today
:cool: Hope it doesn't blow up in my face now.
Smalls are all sleeping. It's been so cold I've had to press the emergency on the gas! which means £15 has only lasted 6 days
I usually have the thermostat at 16 but I've been turning it up to 19. Need to stop doing it 
Have loads of money/bank/budget stuff to update but I will do it in the morning when it looks better

It is very cold today, hopefully the weather will warm up a bit soon. I hope you got your free coffee in M&S

Shame the toy had gone, but maybe it was meant to be if you weren't sure. Do you have a back up idea for a birthday present?
It's really cold isn't it. I'm sat here wrapped up like Nanook of the North with one of my blankets over me. Hubby and DS both have their PJ's bottoms on, hubby with a short sleeved t-shirt, DS with nothing :eek: They really are true hot blooded men :rotfl:
Think a lot of people will be doing their budgets tomorrow with it being 1st of the month

Sounds like you’ve had some busy days. Poor little’un having to have bloods done - does she cope well - a little one I work with has been to children’s hospital in big town nearby for play therapy to help cope with having to keep having blood taken. I hate it never mind the kidsJanuary spends - £587.580

I did get my free coffee
Good it was too!
Maybe Tea, will add it into my pm for your opinion :rotfl:
Milann she doesn't deal with it well
It's the only bit she doesn't though I usually bribe her with sweets
