    Sometimes we do indeed just need to stand up to people.
    Not always easy x

    I agree with what others have said - sometimes we just need to stand up to others.
    Are the smalls going back to the old school or are they transferring.
    Hope you have lots of summer fun together.

    Hi WB :) Just thinking about you and hoping that tomorrow you'll be back on track with your finances when the UC comes in. Really, really hope that the date is set in stone and there's no possibility of anything going wrong.

    Did you get the thunderstorm last night? Hope you all have a lovely day. xx
