Two dcs to school, but dd is still ill with virus (hot and miserable) so a quiet day ahead.

Dh and I managed to have a nice chat yesterday, and discussed what we thought our roles in the home were so I feel a bit less tetchy.

Goals for today
piano
curtains
sitting with dd
menu planning for week - check contents of fridge and cupboard
put laundry away

sort out some extra driving lessons with BSM to use car with gears (at moment only manage an automatic)
book hairdresser for some time this week (haven't been for six months

You all sound as if you had great Sundays outdoors!

Morning ALL

busy morning so far. ellie to preschool then mad dash home to take Mia back to vets.she is off her food. so they gave her injections of antibiotics & steriods. If not better by tomorrow they are taking her in

swan good look with lessons. I passed in automatic. Hope dd is better soon. stepford wives always best to talk these things through.

EHM I'm off on 16th July. Should start some planning. My Aunt lives in Galicia in NW Spain in a place that's too small to call a village. We wanted to go Mark Warner this year ha! Ha! Ha! I've saved for five years to have a blow out holiday and the money has gone! To be fair Aunt & Uncle come over for Gran's funeral and fell in love with Ds. He is going to have a fab time. I'm going to take some books and watch over him the whole time!
I've put lots of weight, don't have the money and haven't got the time to do any holiday clothes shopping. Going to clean and iron old stuff & cross fingers.

Hello all.
Had a fun day yesterday thowing buckets of water at each other. Funnily enough the water seemed to miss me .

Have had a good tidy round the front room this morning as well as booking local hall for DD2's birthday party. Think we are having an inflatable slide. So i will need to make sure i am careful with money so that i can pay for it!

Have also printed off and filled in budgeting loan form. All ready to send off.
Looking at maybe going to Dawlish Warren.

Hope all are ok?

Starbear · 15/06/2009 12:46

Starbear That is nice to hear. I have no experience of the area but wanted a change to Weymouth! Holiday park i have found is quoting just under £600 for beginning August which sounds perfect. Now worrying that it will be booked up before loan is sorted!

Lol Star Good kick up the bum for Galen!
I could have done with a kick up the bum to sort the loan out sooner. I would be able to book sooner then!
DS's very excited about the possibility of holiday happening! Especially as it says there is a karting place very close to the holiday park!
