    Hopefully Little Miss won't catch it again. I thought they could catch it again if they only had a mild case of it, but were unlikely to if they caught it badly, but I could be wrong.

    Thank you :) Little jwil had it normally the first time, then milder the second time. I didn't realise it was possible at the time!

    I'm off for a week now :T

    It's a nice day again today so we are off to sell some stuff. We've got all the things that the kids cleared out the other week plus a friend of the family gave us loads of stuff which they said we could either keep for the kids or sell. We've kept a few things and will sell the rest. There's some lovely stuff, they've been very generous.

    I'm planning on spending the week generally cleaning and tidying rather than decluttering, though some decluttering will hopefully be done too. The house is looking so grubby, I want to start making it look better. A good clean will make a start on that.

    DH has got various plans of things he wants to get done around the house, so the house fund will probably start getting dipped into soon. Must focus on getting that finished. I'm hoping he'll continue more with the decluttering, so I'll keep nagging :D

    No real plans for next week, might do a boot sale on Monday, visiting a friend on Thursday. Little jwil is booked into a holiday club on Friday at a trampoline place to test it out, as they are also offering a week in the Summer holidays. If he likes it I'll book him in for the week as well.

    Payday next week :T It's been a long month, but so worth it to clear that debt :j

    Went to dig out some hayfever tablets and have made a start by decluttering the first aid/medicine box. Several out of date medicines/creams etc to go.
