Moving on

Thanks @Sun_Addict and @time2change_2, lots of things to think about there. I wonder if a day-to-day spending diary on a spreadsheet would work with an undated set of entries at the top to cover the things that go out regularly but vary according to when in the week the month start? Then a separate spreadsheet to save me getting lost, in which income and spending totals balance against each other?

Once again, it won't be tonight as I need sleep and I have to be up in the morning.

Today was childcare: DH took them to the library in the morning and it then rained so DS1 gave us all a lift back to their house. We had a quiet afternoon in but the girls made a tea party and I introduced the idea of a scavenger hunt locally once the rain dried up. One of the objects to look for was a bit of blue sky but such is the British climate that between the morning's rain and lunchtime's some-breaks-in-the-cloud, by mid afternoon we had clear blue sky, so that was an easy win. I did cheat a bit finding a cat as I spotted a vet's vehicle with a logo comprised of various domestic animals. DGD1 then did me my own scavenger hunt: two of her initials, a line and something with sequins on.  

DGD1 is nearly over the chicken pox now and DGD2 hasn't had a single spot (yet).

I have once again fallen for the charms of V1nted and bought a dress (£6.14) and a pastry cutter (£4.57). Nothing bought from the shops.
