    Mint is drying out nicely, I will just need to blitz it up and store it. Going to give it another day to ensure its properly dried.
    Son needs new clothes, he has eaten so much over the last week. Every meal time he's had 3 or 4 bowls. Today I put some trousers on him and they were half way up his calf! He has a couple of pairs that fit him so I'll hold off buying them till christmas. I can't complain he grows so slowly, hes 2 years and 3 months old and hes still in a 6 - 9 month jacket we bought over a year ago which still fits. Unlike his big sister, we got them new jackets at the same time and she grew out of hers in less than 6 months.
    At work we've managed to get them to agree to overtime pay! Our contract is for 40 hours only and any extra hours will be given as timeback. Over the next 5 weeks they wanted us to come in for longer hours. We pushed for overtime pay and we've got it! On the rota I'm down for an extra 22hr 45 minutes over the next 5 weeks. Only 3hours towards Decembers pay, most will be in January.

    You still seem to be on track after an expensive few months. Annoying about the tax credits.
