    HI :hello:

    A quick update from me, firstly many thanks for all the posts - much appreciated.

    Tom is doing well, a greedy little tike so will be growing quickly I'd imagine. He was a little jaundice but that has passed now, otherwise apart from that fine.

    I'm really well, dh has had a bad back and cold all week so I'm in better shape than he is! I can't believe how quickly the day goes though, one minute it's 0830 the next it's 2100, still with all the running around I'll get back into shape quickly :D.

    Finances haven't been too bad, I'm managing to save for dh course and slowly building up the savings fund again. I've got a final redemption from mobile phone company due at the beginning of September and some vouchers to come from survey sites ready for Xmas (oh also managing to save for Xmas break too!)

    I still need to sort out child benefit so that will help as well. After dh course is paid for I can put some more money away in ISA.

    Hope everyone is having a good bank holiday, m-i-l and s-i-l are visiting for a few days this week so will be busy again and then the next week dd starts school.
