Keeping on the Straight and Narrow...

Thanks @ohdearhowdidthathappen it was very much needed x

Payday today, £75 from overtime added to today's PAD. I did have a bit more overtime paid but we're keeping that set aside for the summer holidays that are now only 2 sleeps away in anticipation of ad-hoc spends that might arise 😊

The issue that happened with my car a couple of days ago happened again on the school run this morning, except the car went completely into limp mode. As luck would have it, it happened in a street close to both the kids school the garage we've used for years so I saw the kid across the busy road that leads to a safe walk to school and they made their own way in, then went round to the garage and explained what had happened.

One of the mechanics came out to have a look and was really lovely in saying we could probably do the repair ourselves if we got the part (he knows DH is fairly handy). Phoned DH and the mechanic explained what needed done then he gave me a link to the part required. I walked home and got DH's car to go and pick up the spare part then came back, picked DH up and drove back to my car and, thankfully, the repair worked!

I'm going to pick up some biscuits and chocolates to drop round to the garage as a thank you, they were fantastic, as was DH coming to my rescue on his lunch break. So that was a very unexpected way of filling in my time this morning 😂

No updates on any of the health issues around family and friends, elderly Uncle remains very poorly. Unbelievably my bestie told me today that she's also been fast tracked after speaking to her doctor yesterday so my smallish circle of family and friends are really going through the mill at the moment, don't have to look for trouble do we?

I'm just trying my best to be as supportive and positive for everyone as much as I can, my phone has been working overtime the last few days keeping up with everyone!

Just waiting on the boys getting home from school, my sister in law is picking them up then we'll have a quick bite to eat before we head back out for their swimming lessons. Then it will be back home in time for the big match, come on England!!!

Oh well never mind England, maybe next time the lions can match the standard of the lionesses 😉 ⚽

Full on day at work today for DH & I and the boys needed cheering up after their first footballing heartbreak so after tea we went for a walk along the local coastline which turned into the boys running into the sea for a swim fully clothed.

Not a bad thing apart from the fact we didn't have a change of clothes or towels with us! Once we got back to the car I made them sitting on the big reusable shopping bags I keep in the car boot. Once home they stripped off by the washing machine & threw everything in before they went straight in the shower.

I fear I'll be finding random grains of sand in the car and house for a while but totally worth it, the boys had a blast!

The usual £2 PAD today.
