    There is and you always worry about your kids. Mine is at Sunderland uni so we are not just a short drive away if he needs us.

    Yes, there are times over the past 12 months when I've been really grateful DD isn't too far away. Even when she's just been poorly it's been easy to get her home for a few days TLC. xx

    I've had a lovely weekend thanks HHD although I've not done anything out of the ordinary. Weather has been hit and miss with sunshine and showers although the showers only seemed to appear when I pegged out. I gave up after a few attempts. Somebody up there was having a good laugh at me today. :rotfl: xx

    It's funny when roles become reversed isn't it. Laughter is the best medicine by far. xx

    Morning All :)

    I’ve had a couple of surveys and I'm just 6p from cashing out on Prolific so hoping another one will pop up today. RH is 465/1500 and Shoppix is 2775/3200.

    Had a little spend this week and treated myself to a few bits, a book, candles, that sort of thing. Also treated DS and stumped up for the fish and chips at weekend. No spending taking place today though so I’ll have about £17 to carry forward which I’ll probably split between the Christmas savings and Christmas splurge pots again.

    Going to have a look at my Christmas list this week and see what I need to buy/allocate for people. Hubby does the main money for the kids and I do the bits and bobs and family. I think there'll be a fair bit left over so will have a think about what to do with that money.

    Hope you've all had a good weekend. xx
