    Thank you I do check the charity shop when I go past, I've never thought of asking in there though! Primark is a pain to get to. Might see if someone I know is going into town and I can tag along. Never thought of matalan either! It doesn't need to be amazing. After all it's not going to be doing many miles :rotfl:

    I know Cumbria, lovely today isn't it! If it snows as predicted next week we might not go :o With youngest already struggling I don't think a caravan in the snow would be a wise idea. However fingers crossed it doesn't! I can't wait to get away and the smalls are so excited. Even youngest!

    We have spoken about the holiday and what we'd like to do why we are there. We decided the zoo etc is better in the summer holidays. This holiday will be mainly the free activities (There's plenty of choice with being Easter) Along with the soft play etc that's free. There is a place youngest wants to go and I think it's about £4 each for the smalls, so will try to fit that in. It was well worth it last time and we spent nearly all day in there. I'm looking forward to walks in the fresh air and spending some time with the smalls playing board games and cards etc.

    Happy Sunday all :)

    Thank you Beanie you too x

    The weather is lovely today :) Might try to nip to Mr L for some washing gel. Maybe not though.

    Roast beef is in for dinner and veg ready to go on nearer dinner time.

    Smalls have got bacon/sausage/egg for lunch. Really rare they ask for this and weirdly they both asked today :rotfl:

    Morning :D

    Happy Monday!

    Smalls away to school and youngest has taken herself back to bed. So having a hot cuppa why I have chance :rotfl:

    Have emailed the council over the housing benefits and things to see what I need to do.

    Didn't go to the supermarket yesterday so was a NSD. Today will also be a NSD as I have no plans to go anywhere. Tomorrow I will need to get some washing gel and some tins for the food bank for DS to take in.

    I love how nice the weather has been these last few days. It really lifts the mood and makes me want to get up and clean :o

    Hope everyone is well

    Evening :D

    Smalls are all tucked up. Just waiting for the floors to dry so I can polish them and head up to bed.

    NSD today! I do need to go to the supermarket tomorrow though. I really need washing gel and DS needs tinned things to take to the foodbank. I must go! I've been putting it off for days :o

    I've managed to get all the windows cleaned outside today, along with the doors and doing the garden etc. True pottering around the house doing all the annoying things.

    Hope everyone else has had a happy Monday

    So pleased you have emailed the council.
    Why does your DS need tins for your FB?
