    Just adding my congrats to the decluttering. Hope it's not too big a job to get rid of the bags.

    Good morning :)

    Happy Tuesday (even though it feels like Monday :o)

    Smalls in school :) Just having a cuppa before heading to my appointment. It isn't as warm this morning, which I'm quite happy about it makes the walk to town tougher :rotfl:

    Nothing else to update. Empty bank balance so no spends, no news.

    Have a lovely day

    Hi WB :) Is it nice to be back in some sort of routine? Bet you're glad DD has got a suitable pushchair with all the walking to appointments you're having to do :o It's definitely a bit cooler today but just as nice. Hope the DC's have enjoyed their first day back at school. xx

    I love having the routine back Tea. I do miss them though :o but we can countdown to the next half term now.

    I'm so glad I have her chair. I'm finding it hard so there's no way she could have done it. I will make sure I have taxi money next week :o It wouldn't be so bad if they could just do it at the hospital it's only a 20 minute walk each way but it's over at the one place in town :(

    Smalls had a good day :) they have just eaten dinner and are in the bath. Think we all want an early night :o

    It won't be much of a countdown WB :D DS came home with his end of year summer trip choices today, it'll be Christmas before we know it :eek::rotfl:

    Would one of the weekly bus passes come in handy if you have to keep going to the hospital next week although if you have to buy one for DD as well it might not be much cheaper than taxis :o Fingers crossed the burn heals quickly on all counts. xx
