All sounding good Girly holiday sounds fab. I've always wanted to go to Sorrento/Naples so I could go to Pompeii which has always fascinated me. Greece would be fab too though and a lot cheaper eating out wise.

Morning Sunaddict, yes Pompeii fascinates me to and is the reason I want to visit that area,I love the history of Italy and there is so many places I want to visit that I think I need to start an Italian bucket list .

Not much to update really, DS is playing in a cricket tournament for school, no idea whether he needs picking up tonight or not. Usual teenage boy organisation.

Morning.
Cloudy and looking like it might rain, umming and arghing about pegging out.

CB has hit bank account this morning so that's looking a bit healthier, tutor cheque still hasn't cleared which is unusual as usually it clears within a couple of days.

Morning.

Up early this morning and got the kids off to school and then went to Mr S, managed to get everything on my list and after £12 off voucher spent £54.69 on shopping, do have £1.10 to come back from check0utsmart as well. also spent a further £16.75 on a fathers day present off the kids and some socks for DS, these will come out of entertainment/misc pot.

Need to nip to the butchers tomorrow as DH has asked for steak for Fathers day tea rather than going out and as FIL and MIL are away on holiday (we would usually go out with them) it will be cheaper.


Yesterday was a NSD which are adding up nicely not sure if I will hit 10 this month but going to try, ebay is slow this week but I will keep relisting things and hope they sell.DD tutor cheque finally cleared this morning, I hate waiting for cheques to clear, at least that's the last one until September.


Need to write a list of school uniform and rough costs and keep an eye out for M&S doing discounted school uniform, I buy there shirts as I find they wash really well, everything else has to come from uniform shop, DD has stopped growing so her blazer and PE kit fit fine, it's DS who is like a weed and won't stop growing, so new everything is needed.
