Happy birthday to you Wannabe :bdaycake:- it’s lovely to hear you’ve had such a great day.
You are raising such generous natured children who wanted to make it so special for you - well done small wannabes :T Well done Mummy Wannabe:T
I’m so pleased the debts are coming down far more quickly than you ever imagined - you certainly deserve a break.:j:j:j:j:j
As for worrying about when to send youngest dd into school - use your instinct. Don’t worry about the school statistics - you won’t get into trouble as your doctors will vouch for how poorly she can get. With her condition which can deteriorate so quickly if you think she isn’t well keep her off - there are so many germs in school it’s just not worth it. Mums know best :beer:

Thank you

Looking at the weather tomorrow might just be a stay at home day :rotfl: and a head start to the bed fund. I could also do with starting filling and sanding the walls in the girls room so I can get it painted before DD's birthday.

I think I'm going to head to settle down myself now I've got the ironing done. I left everything until the smalls where in bed so I didn't waste time. I think I'll sleep tonight

Thank you again

Cake was amazing, they did so well. I gave them a 'naked' cake and give them fondant, cutters and butter icing. They did brilliant. They also stuck banners up they made and had made cards. They also made a gift out of paper and card (we have been reading Hansel and Gretal so they made the gingerbread house)

Morning Tea

All smalls away to school

I'm not sure Tea I feel guilty spending money on the train fare even though it was given to me for me Sounds stupid doesn't it.

Just having a coffee and paying all the bills - The day I love but hate at the same time :rotfl:

You've not got as many bills to pay today though :T Your bank balance is looking pretty good as well, it's nice to see there's some left over for other things

I expect the person who gave you the money wouldn't mind what you spent it on as long as you were happy. Do you think you'd feel a real sense of achievement if you did the train journey and would it be the first step towards things changing for you personally?

I think £150 is a good amount to aim for. Not bought a bed for years though so not really sure.

Glad DD2 didn't become too poorly and has managed to go back to school. xx
