    Afternoon Diary,

    Wow I've had a lovely few days, but can't believe its Sunday already!!

    DH and I were out at a party last night so the girls slept out at MIL. It was a very fancy party very extravagant! DH drove us so we didn't spend much.

    Today DD2 has been with the cubs to do an Easter egg hunt. Then weve been on a 5 mile walk to the nearest Mr T's for a couple of bits plus mini eggs for some baking I've been doing for work. The weather is so glorious here today and it definitely makes you feel so much happier. There were so many people on the walk we did up to Mr T's, so lovely to see people milling around with their families.

    Ive also pegged out today too :D.

    Thats about all for now, need to go and get on with the tea now. Hope everyones had a lovely weekend xx

    Thought of you when I pegged out today :) Wasn't it glorious?

    Fabulous news about DH's bonus. Good idea to put it in an emergency fund.

    Glad you had a lovely posh evening out and wow to your NSD total :j

    Evening Diary,

    Wow I can't believe I haven't posted in here since Monday. Didn't feel too cracking at the beginning of the week, wasn't poorly just really drained. Picked up by Thursday and just been running around ever since! Thursday was NSD14, ending the month on 14 out of 10 :D.

    So today I've washed and dried about 5 loads as id run out of washing powder!
    Weve also been to a family party which was lovely. Spent around £20 on drinks.

    Just DD1 and I tonight and DD2 is at a birthday sleep over and DH is out watching the boxing at a friends.

    Think thats about all, hope all ok xx
