    Another car payment today so the balance has reduced again :)  

    It feels really cold this morning.  I'm out for a meeting this afternoon so can take advantage of free heat again :)

    My GK’s school have stopped going to the pantomime at Xmas  due to the costs of hiring coaches to take them. The pantomime is only about 20 mins if that away, but even with the school paying some towards the hire, the remaining amount that would have been picked up by the parents was shocking. Parents agreed with the school.

    Things do get so expensive don't they.  At least the school is being considerate.
