We didn't get out today.
Youngest did have a friend come and play for a while this afternoon though.
Tomorrow we are at an appointment in the morning so have to be up and out early.
No weekend plans yet either. We've been invited to a pantomime with a group smalls attend but not sure if we can make it.
Hope you've all had a lovely day and I've made a start on catching up with diaries but still weeks behind“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Morning
Today we are hoping to go and try and find school shoes that fit. Youngest is the hardest to sort as she has AFO's and the other two are awkward sizing wise.
It's pouring down so I hope it dries up a bit!
Also have some ironing I need to get done and some cleaning as usual. Need to meal plan and get organised on that side of things too.
Hope you all have a lovely day

Have a lovely day missus, regardless of the weather (((((HUGS)))))BUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
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.

Morning WB
You've done well to get 3 children fully kitted out for just over £100 - bar the shoes. I bet getting it all sorted is a weight off your mind isn't it.
I need to start thinking about buying DS his things next week. I don't feel under too much pressure as it's a specific uniform shop we go to so they'll either have it in or be able to order it in within a few days. The hardest part will be getting him up and dressed before the shop closes :rotfl:
Hope you all have a lovely day. Weather isn't brilliant over here so I hope you manage to stay dry if you do go out. xx0 -

Thank you US x
Morning Tea, Uniform is so expensive isn't itThat's one set of uniform each. Although 2 polo shirts as they where cheaper to get a pack of 2 from the supermarket than 1 on its own in the uniform shop. It's not the exact colour but similar. Shoes are the hardest I think. It's very wet here too, I think we might give going to town a miss if it doesn't ease off. It's a long walk in the dry never mind the rain! Hope you have a good day too.
PB AFO's are splints so it makes finding shoes wide/big enough to fit them but not so big she trips over her own feet hard!

Evening
Didn't get out todayagain! The weather is crazy. It's still so warm but raining with a thunder storm.
I've been pottering round the house and have created my lists. I love lists
Just having a cup of tea before I head to bed.
Hope you've all had a good day
