Good morning
Happy Tuesday (even though it feels like Monday)
Smalls in schoolJust 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
It's definitely a bit cooler today but just as nice. Hope the DC's have enjoyed their first day back at school. xx

So glad you're not having to pay for DD's trips WF.
Hope you can enjoy some more chill time tonight xxMummytogirls x0 -
I love having the routine back Tea. I do miss them though
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 weekIt 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 daythey have just eaten dinner and are in the bath. Think we all want an early night

It won't be much of a countdown WB
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 taxisFingers crossed the burn heals quickly on all counts. xx
