Thank you, it seems worth making the effort this year!savingholmes said:Good luck with the shoes.

I've only worn them once so far as they rubbed my heel badly as I hadn't worn them in. That and a combination of the rain means I haven't walked so much this week. However, they are comfortable and they did keep my feet dry so I'm hopeful!beanielou said:Oh yes, how are the shoes?"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

It's my weekend now, hurrah!
Not much planned, little miss has an assembly tomorrow so I'll be going to that. Then it's swimming in the evening.
Loads of flooding here, how is it near you all? I've got to travel across the levels twice next week, that could be fun as the flood gates were closed yesterday and there's a chance they'll be closed again soon.
Not much to report otherwise. Work is busy so not much happening outside of that!
