I hate polystyrene it gets everywhere ugh

Lovely offer from Lucky re the uniform, hope you can utilise it.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Parcel ready to post tomorrow. It’s all stuff I think you might need for a school trip, but nothing flash. If it’s not suitable, feel free to donate it to the SA. So you know what else you might need, I’m sending;

4 pairs of casual trousers/joggers
2 tshirts
1 long sleeved top
1 hoodie
1 (thin) jacket
Lots of boxer shorts.

I think that’s it. I should’ve listed it before I wrapped it :rotfl: Xx

Evening.

Stopping the cleaning at a bit more of a reasonable time tonight. Well I think so anyway.

Thank you so much Lucky x

The polystyrene is no where near as bad as it was. There's still enough to look a mess though!

Meal plan done. Shopping list wrote. A little more expensive this week as we need toiletries and washing powder.

Plan looks loosely like

Tomorrow - GP Appointment and into local town. Need to post something and will call in the SA and library
Tuesday - Have to go into real town for DD to see OT. Will find something to do after it depending on weather
Wednesday - Big appointment for youngest which will probably take the majority of the day.
Thursday- not sure. Depends on weather (park or baking or something) pharmacy delivery day so need to stag in.
Friday - eye tests for smalls in big town and will probably do the museum/library

It means I need bus fare most days for smalls along with train fare on one of them too. Will need to take pack lunches etc and make sure we have enough drinks.

Hope you all have a lovely week

You fit in an amazing amount, Wannabe. I bet the polystyrene is vastly improved.

I hope all the appointments go well this week.

Morning.

We are up and out ready to take on today.

Need to go to the library to print something so I can post it. Then up to the GP. Then back to the post office and the SA.

It's currently dry so made the smalls walk much to their disapproval. It saves £7.50 that can go towards the travel needed when it's just too far to walk.

Hope you all have a happy Monday

As always so impressed by you wannabe - you are amazing. I always find its drinks I run out of when we picnic or have pack ups and even a bottle of water is so expensive these days. I even take my flask of coffee to the cinema with me these days.

I feel your pain over school uniforms. Our polos & jumpers have to be logo'd and it's so expensive. Two years ago my primary bought in logo'd PE shirts £7 as opposed to buying a cheap plain white t-shirt:mad:. It's just not necessary in primary. However you did make me think this week - I had some school trousers and shorts I'd kept from my oldest for my youngest who starts in September but he's a chunky monkey and they are two small. I was going to try and sell them but for the couple of quid I would have made I donated them to my local uniform exchange (the one mentioned in the BBC!). You are alwAys so greatful and believe there are people in worse situations than you do I wanted to payit forward a bit xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

2 parcels on their way. Had to split them as it was over the limit .

Hope you’ve had a successful day Xx

Evening

Thank you so much for stopping in and than you lucky again

Today was partly successful. Was all going okay until we came out the GP and it was pouring down. DS hasn't taken his coat so I ended up needing to get a taxi back into small town to do the things we needed. So £4 spent there. Went to the library and printed the things to post 80p in to print. On to the post office and £2.70 spend there.

After that it was still pouring down so we went to the SA. Dropped in some bits youngest has out grown. Looked for bits we needed but nothing really there although got oldest DD 2 t-shirts. So 80p spent there. Still raining so we stopped for a cuppa for me. Squash for the smalls. £1.80 Spend there I didn't really need to spend but the girls where over the moon at a 'posh cafè' stop in their words.

By the time we had done the rain was light enough to walk home and get dried off and put a film on

Hope you've all had a good day.

Tomorrow will be another spend day on travel for smalls for an appointment for youngest as it's too far to walk. Then on Wednesday we have a big appointment in the city will which mean train and bus fare. Although will take pack lunches and drinks so hoping there's only travel and maybe a coffee to cover spend wise.
