Slipping Through My Fingers

Your caravan sounds lovely and it must be great to have a little hidey hole to escape. I love staying in caravans (have been on 6sun holidays) that feeling when the hearing is on and you can hear the rain. Have t booked one this year due to my issues.

Your nsd always put ours to shame, well my hubs! I've not spent a penny for months as don't do any shopping. Need to wind him in again and keep on track. X

Day 19/31, NSD's 10/15, Prolific £3.70 cleared, £0 pending, Cash for 15th-21st March £13.50

Had quite a few things on my shopping list today. DS needed a new hoodie, he put his on at the weekend and it definitely didn't fit. I keep looking at his shoulders lately and thinking, blimey he's going to be a big lad :eek:

Hubby informed me last night that the zip had broken on the holdall I was planning on him using so I've had to order one from Argos - that was an unexpected expense but as I've got quite a bit of my money left this week I've bought that.

He's also asked for some branded tracky bottoms but the new trainers, hoodie and bag have come to £100 so I've told him if he wants those he needs to buy them himself which he's happy enough to do.

We are off to the dentist in an hour for our 6 month check up. Fingers crossed there will be no nasty surprises. xx

Thanks HG and CG. The funny thing is we never had a caravan holiday as children so I've no idea where this love for it has come from, but I really do enjoy it. My siblings are Dubai/Caribbean/European City travellers and then there's me in my van :rotfl: I'm sure they think I'm mad but I don't care xx

AS long as it makes you happy xx

It does Beanie. Don't get me wrong we've had plenty of holidays in Europe, but I'd much rather just go to the van these days. The thought of messing about at airports and with transfers etc. just doesn't appeal to me anymore. xx

Day 20/31, NSD's 10/15, Prolific £4.70 cleared, £2.21 pending, Cash for 15th-21st March £13.50

Not planning on spending anything today. I'd like to keep hold of the £13.50 as my next lot of spends has to cover 10 days and I'm going out for a meal with friends next week so could do with a bit of extra cash.

I need to buy some shoes at the weekend but I'm going to take that money out of the savings. I've not got a clothing pot and I'm not saving for anything in particular so I've decided it's a legit withdrawal

No surprises at the dentist so that was good news, both on the teeth and money front.

I've had a couple of nice surveys the past few days and I'm just waiting for one to clear then I can cash out again. It's much better just aiming for £5.

Hope you all have a nice day. xx

Good news that no work was needed at the dentist .

Buying clothes for growing boys is very expensive :eek:.

It is HHD :eek: He never really asks for clothes, I just go and get them and so far I've got away with basic tops and bottoms, but recently he's asked for a couple of branded items. I think boys need less but go for brands. DD is quite happy in Primarni but is in there nearly every week xx

Both my kids need new clothes, they have shot up! I have a slot in the next sale for thursday, so I previewed it last night for DD and wrote down some things I want, and will do the same for DS tonight, it's how I get most their clothes lol xx

They grow overnight don't they K DS had his hoodie on just a couple of weeks ago and it seemed fine. He put it on at weekend and it looked ridiculous :rotfl: xx
