Oh this has just made me realise there's no way LBs uniform is going to fit him in September! It was already on the edge and he always sprouts up over the summer. 

Yes, I keep going what I can, but little jwil was still wearing stuff from last year and it was starting to be a bit small.  Little miss is just starting to needs the whole lot.

Do you still have a lot to list?  

I struggle to list 1.

18 parcels posted, just waiting for 2 to pay.  They will all be collected tomorrow.

DH has decided to buy the kids a paddling pool, so he will be picking that up later.  He went to the garden centre and bought some border edging for me so I really should get out and do some more in the garden!

I've ordered a few things online.  Undies for me as mine are falling apart.  Snoods for me and the kids which can be used as token face coverings if we need them out and about, and some earphones as mine have broken.  I've also ordered some more packaging for the ebay parcels.  That will do for now.  I do have other things on my list, but will wait for a bit.

Another paid up so another item gone.

Dh is setting up the paddling pool, we have a very excited little miss.  

I've just opened myself up a premium bonds account and bought my first £25 worth.  I'll try and put in £25 a month from now on.

Hope everyone is well

A pool is a good idea in this heat!!

I'm also looking to buy Premium Bonds.  Don't know if it will come to pass but there was talk about negative equity and the Banks actually charging people to have money in their accounts!

They have loved it!  Been in it a good proportion of the day.  It's kept them away from the TV and their tablets so win win all round.  Best £20 spend of the lockdown

I saw that too!  It did suggest that it would likely only apply to large businesses, as they wouldn't want everyone withdrawing their cash and storing it under the mattress.  But that would be sods law with this being the first time in my life I've got money in the bank.

I've now got my Lifetime ISA towards retirement, a few normal savings accounts for bills and the emergency fund, and the premium bonds.  I'm growing up!  None have big balances, but hopefully they can grow.

I've heard from nursery today, and little miss is going to go back for 2 days for the next two weeks and then we'll review it after that.

DH sold another item, but it got refused when he went to the parcel shop as they were full, so he'll have to try again.  He was not impressed!  I did the dog and kid walk this morning while he was waiting for the courier to come, it's a shame this item sold just after the courier had been, as he'd already taken another parcel for us!

Little miss and I made Krispie cakes this afternoon.

Good news on the nursery.
