I'm sure it's too small, but I have a 3-4 swimming costume if it's any good for littlest? My DD is generally wearing 5-6 - she could still fit into it, but it's too small lengthwise as she's tall.

Morning WB Not long to your holiday now, hopefully the change of scene will do you all good.

Are you definitely moving then? That's quite stressful in itself without the added stress of why you feel you have to move, so make sure you take extra care of yourself.

Have a lovely weekend. xx

Thank you jwil but I think it might be too small. She's into 5-6 clothing wise too. But thank you so much.

I think so Tea. I don't think I've much choice. So messy.

The weather is awful. I'm a bit worried it's going to be like this when we are away

Food/everything else £39 left (Today was a NSD )

Still to do..

1 weeks grocery
School photos (DS last one before high school) probably won't buy this.
Travel to big hospital appointment

Well done on the NSD . I hope you manage to move as you feel that you need to. It will be stressful to move but if it's important to you then it will help you in the end.

I can't believe schools are still doing photos. I dread it when DS brings the school photos of the GKs, the last ones were flipping awful if I'm honest and cost me a fortune. I feel obliged to buy them though.

I only bought the photo's if they were good.
Most of them were blooming dire.

Sunday again. The weeks are flying by!

I haven't seen the photo yet but a few teachers stopped me to comment on how good it is. I think as long as you keep the proof with the number on you can order copies further down the line.

We have had a lazy weekend. The weather is awful and this chest infection is still lingering. We've done homework projects and just done the usual pottering.

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend x

Mse side of things

Meal plan is done.

Monday- Chicken & veg pie
Tuesday- spag bol & garlic flatbreads
Wednesday- Curry,rice and flatbreads
Thursday- lasagne
Friday- jacket potato & beans/cheese
Saturday- pizzas made from flatbread and the odds and ends that need using up
Sunday- left over chicken pie, mash & veg

Breakfasts - porridge

Lunches - sandwich/fruit/yog and whatever I bake (probably flapjack)

Armed with my shopping list for the fresh bits needed tomorrow. It feels a bit samey and a lot of flatbreads but they are pennies to make and all 3 smalls enjoy them. Just need milk/bread and some fruit & veg.

Will bake flapjacks/oat biscuits why the pie is cooking. Pie is being split between Monday and Sunday. Spag bol Tuesday will also make the lasagne for Thursday. Curry is already in the freezer from last time.

Hi WB Is it you that's got the chest infection? I remember the last one I had was years ago but it really knocked me off my feet for a few days.

Your meal plan sounds lovely as usual and doesn't look too overloaded with flatbreads to me. Do you try and take a few bits with you on holiday or do you get it all delivered?

Have you managed to find swimming costumes yet? I wonder if some of the supermarkets will have them on sale online with summer having been and gone. Might be worth a look and then maybe get them delivered to store for free.

Hope you all have a good week. xx

It is tea. They all had this cold but mine just isn't going. I got antibiotics for the chest but it feels never ending. I actually feel a lot better now but the cough is relentless! I feel bad moaning but it makes me realise how youngest must feel all the time! :cool:

I will take some things with us. Especially things like condiments/toiletries etc. As much as I can to keep the shopping like a usual shop at home. Although I need to be cautious of how heavy I make things as the older two have to help carry the bags :rotfl:

Nearly into single figures 13 days to go

Flat bread features often because it's quick,easy and cheap they all enjoy it too x
