    My DS always keeps an emergency pizza in his freezer, not a bad idea really - and they are only 67p in Aldi.

    Hope you feel more positive soon. Big hugs from me xx

    Evening WB :) You've been quiet today, hope you're feeling OK and that you're tucked up in bed fast asleep and don't see this message until morning. :) xx

    Hope you've had a good day and all the smalls have too.
    OH would happily have the heater over 22 and I'm happy with at 15 so that causes a few disagreements - I love the sun and am thrilled when it's really hot outside but I hate an overly warm house. I sleep with the window open all year round - OH mumbles regularly about a bed hat!

    Morning WB :) Afternoon tea at school sounds lovely. Bet the smalls are really excited that you'll be going in.

    Another beautiful day here. Finger crossed it lasts over the weekend so everybody gets a chance to enjoy some sunshine.

    Have a great day. xx

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Enjoy your mothers day afternoon tea!

    I'd forgotten about Mothers Day for me IYSWIM - I have sent card and presents for our mums but forgot that it will be my mothers day too!

    You totally deserve to relax x

    It's just another normal day here on Sunday :o I haven't even sent cards out this year either :o I normally do. Smalls will have made cards at school (I think!) if not they can make something here if they want too but otherwise just normal.

    Hope you all have a lovely mother's day too.
