And it is hump day already, I love bank holiday weeks! Your weekend sounded wonderful. I am lucky to live in a part of the world with fabulous walks just a short drive away, it is definitely something I want to spend more time doing.

Hiya Cath :wave:

I do like hump day:):p.

It's great when you've got lovely places on the doorstep isn't it? I bet your little ones love it

Evening :wave:

I'm failing miserably with my ' lights out by 10.30 ' goal. Tonight I will do better:p

Today has been a good day, still a little chilly but lovely and bright:D
I've not done a huge amount of school work as I'm relatively on top of things at the moment so I've focussed a bit more on home. Next week ds starts his gcses and I've got sats so I want everything sorted so we can both focus on what matters. Today I made a good start and I'll get the rest done at the weekend. So far I've ;

Changed one bed and got the linen line dried

Hoovered downstairs

Emptied the bins and sorted out the recycling

Done the ironing

Done a batch of eBay adverts ready to go live at the weekend

Done a load of laundry ready to put on the line before work

made a batch of veggie tagine in the sc. Dinner next week needs to be heat up and eat so I'm going to do a batch of curry over the weekend and there's chilli, lasagne and sliced roast meat in the freezer. Not exactly summer food but it's quick and easy:)

Provided moral support for ds while he did his online English test for the course he wants to start in September. He's going to do the maths one tomorrow.

Did the food shop for £34.83 which is more than it has been but I've run the cupboards down and there was literally no fresh stuff left (we've been on tinned and dried fruit since Monday). The fruit bowl and the veg and salad drawers and full to bursting now:). The dog also has food, we've got a lovely selection of herbal teas and everyone's toiletries have been topped up where needed.

Paid a very large bill for rental maintenance:eek:

Done a spin class.


I've no money news beyond my big bill, not even a TT!

I'm going to read for a bit in my lovely clean bed with air dried sheets and then lights out at 10.30 and tonight I mean it:p

Happy nearly Friday

Hello :wave:

A quick (and late) one as my bed is calling:). I've been out :eek: Not regular event these days which tends to make it all the more enjoyable. Happy hour pasta, a glass of wine, a jug of water and three hours of catching up with a lovely friend £7.50 and worth every penny:D

Work was uneventful, the kids are really chipper and it's Friday. Happy days :)
