    I hope you had a lie in! Have a lovely break X. Are you going in for revision classes? :j
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Hi SHS!
    Your diary title caught my eye as I am a smallholder wannabe as well as a mfw! Also a fellow pony owner, mother (of 1, so far!) and teacher (primary).
    I have just caught up on your diary - phew!
    Hope you have a lovely Easter break and enjoy some downtime. Your pace of life is hectic and I am impressed by just how much you manage to squeeze into your days!
    Sending lots of good luck vibes for a house sale!

    Hello Castlelough!
    Happy Holidays.
    Does your little one ride the pony, or you or both of you?

    Poorly boy here and DD2 spent the night wailing. Probably chocolate hangover!
    DH just went to Mr S and it is closed. A supermarket that closes. Who knew!

    Nope - DS2 got up totally fine this morning and has been ok. OH, on the other hand (the other sick person) was stroppy and sulky and took himself off to our room hours ago and told me to go away and not bother cooking dinner (roast lamb - at his request - none of the rest of us are fussed on lamb) He hasn't emerged yet (about 5 hours so far). I've stripped Ds2's room for decorating, done washing/ drying/ putting away, fed people, loaded/ emptied dishwasher, sorted out loads of stuff from DS2's room with him (lots for bin/ recycling - yeay!), baked bread, sorted ebay and ziffit parcels out, removed various items from house back to where they live in the garage... etc etc. It's like having a 5th child (except worse) at times!
