After the lord mayors' show today, I'm afraid....:eek: . Found everything a struggle from just getting up to doing the catalogues to even tidying the house....:eek: :eek:

Anyway, did have a no-spend day today which was something. Did the morning and evening post runs, delivered 102 catalogues this morning, 464 leaflets this afternoon and a load of washing from the holiday. DS2/DS3 rang up this evening for a chat and I got some of my overdue paperwork done tonight.:T

Tomorrow consists of catalogues, newspapers, school run, football training and probably mowing the lawn too!!!:D

Today was pretty much as I predicted.

Morning post run, breakfast then off out to deliver 116 papers. Met my 90-year-old neighbour today for the first time in the seven months I've lived here....:eek: . Home for a coffee then off to deliver the last 50 catalogues in the van before collecting another 250 from the warehouse. I need to get another 800-odd out before the weekend then chug on with them next week.

I'm being a naughty DFW tomorrow because I'm going racing at Bath...:rolleyes: .

Spending today? £7.83 on shopping today at Somerfield, £15.00 on diesel at the local Esso garage and £4.00 on football training this evening.

Morning post run today then over to pick up another 240 catalogues this morning before showering and going off to the races with my mate Mike.

Programme - £3.00
Cost of bets - £32.00

An afternoon's entertainment and it cost nowt. I picked five out of six winners ( two horses per race; one backed to win, one backed each way ) and topped up the tan a little more...:D

Tomorrow is morning post run again, collect the boys to take them to school, collect another 500 catalogues if time permits ) then pick the boys up.

Hi Lucy,

We had a brilliant time away, we got back just before dinnertime on Monday.

Haven's camp is fantastic and worth triple the money I actually paid for it. I need to sort another trip away in the October half-term, may appear to be not very DFW but I could only afford to go there through the Sun's cheapie holiday. It's handier than you think to get to - from my house to the camp is 90 minutes door-to-door....:T

The weather was perfect. Pretty much 70 degrees each day with a gentle flowing breeze that kept the kids cool and even-tempered:j . Went to the beach every day, played a round of golf every day, spent a while in Funworks each day and went swimming on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I took bed linen down with me and we didn't eat at the restaurants at all so I saved myself a few bob there too. Sat down at the beach till nearly eight in just teeshirts and shorts so still warm in the evenings too.:D

Good to see you out and about still posting....:T
