    Your padding @jwil remains inspirational! That car loan is chucking down!
    Thank you :)

    Gosh it’s at times like this I’m glad I don’t have kids. All that running around to clubs. I know you want them to be well rounded but I can imagine the cost is a bit stressful.
    These are just after school clubs so only £2 a session.  This is a choir so they are doing a Christmas performance.  Now I've got over my outrage a bit (and DH is driving!) I'm looking forward to seeing it.

    I hope all goes well with the cast removal today, and you're able to enjoy some of your day off too :)
    Thank you :)  It's all gone well, but didn't see a huge amount of the day off!

    The survey cashout has arrived so I padded that today :) 

    Little jwil is now castless, everything looks to be healing ok so that's good news.  He's got to go back for another checkup in 6 weeks, and he was pleased to be told no PE before then at least.

    We then went to McDs for lunch and a visit to Mr A to pick up a couple of items, so by the time we'd done that, most of the day was gone.  But I'm very glad I wasn't having to juggle work as well, so it was great to have the day off.
