So the good... I was fortunate enough to go cat sitting in a beautiful place, with lovely friends and gorgeous, affectionate mogs. Honestly it made my heart so happy. And I got to see a couple of BAFTAs in the flesh. When I got home a little time ago I was just floating really, it was an unexpectedly lovely weekend...

... until I got a text message from my car insurer (this is the bad!) saying that if I auto renew with them next month it will be an extra £600. What?! That is double! I have not claimed, I've not misbehaved, I've not pimped my ride! So I did the Live Chat but it's OOH so a virtual assistant basically said: " Oh dear, poor you, yes it does sound frustrating... what's changed?" Erm nothing except what you are charging me you chumps! So they have to get back to me tomorrow.

It was helpful to be with them as I was an expat for a while and that invalidates your prior no-claims, so I was building up with them again and now it's going to be a bloody faff to have to move. This is the second renewal now with them and last time it went down £50 which is what I would have expected! GRRRRRR!

Good? My DH and DC are coming home after a weekend away. Bad? The cat has just had a shit so now I have to scoop the litter tray. Git.

It’s my birthday.
Had a lovely few hours at an event with dh and dc and a lovely meal out.
On the way home my youngest was sick everywhere all over the car and herself 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
