Keeping on the Straight and Narrow...

Another hot one here, hit 30 degrees, and an unexpectedly busy day in the office. I had my portable fan next to me at all times!

DH out for a gig this afternoon so he dropped the kids off at the office for half an hour until my shift ended.

Once I finished work we popped to the shops to pick up cards and gifts for the boys teachers (they used their own money so were much more budget conscious than when they spend my money 😂).

Given the fab school reports yesterday, we agreed to buy the boys some treats to have while they stay up late to watch the match tonight so I gave them a budget and they managed to get their favourite drinks, sweets and crisps by pooling their money and buying larger sizes to share. Was good to see my MSE ways are rubbing off on them 😂.

DH will be back in time for the match so I think the plan is for us all to have late showers and eat later than usual to try to ensure we're awake for as much of the match as possible. They can all have a lie in tomorrow but I'm back in work so will set an alarm or 2 just in case!

No additional pennies earned today so today's PAD is the standard £2.

It’s lovely that the children have started to think savvy with their money. Mine are showing signs of it too (when they can get along together for long enough) and it does make me feel proud 😊.

Ah well done to the mini Dakota Rose's too 😊 It is lovely, and although it's not a regular occurrence here it's lovely to see the mini lightbulb moments when they happen and, like you, it makes me very proud.

Horrendous day at work, everyone a bit hot and bothered I think (we really don't get these high 20's temperatures here so 3 days of it is confusing 😂) then I came home to a grumpy DH caused by tiredness after he spent most of last night watching the World Cup matches. Apparently he's been grumpy with the kids while I was out too, honestly it's like having 3 kids at times!

Have just packed him off upstairs at the same time as the kids so I can have an hour to decompress while cooling down with an ice lolly or 2 before I go to bed 😂

£2 PAD today.
