Congratulations on your new DGS. Lovely you can help out. Newborn cuddles are lovely. I had a reminder to pay the balance on a cottage holiday I booked last year for us all to visit my mum in mid April but not sure if I should pay that or not. I think I will wait for Boris road map next week as no point in us going if we cannot visit. My mum will be gutted though as this will be the fourth visit we have had to cancel due to lockdowns. As she has had both vaccines she told us to come anyway as she goes into a depression each time our plans are cancelled. So difficult but she lives 250 miles away so not like we can just pop over to see her outside. Hope your craft weekend goes ahead and you enjoyed your DGD overnight stay.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
