my car was broken into at some point last night. i took ds 9 to school and discovered it on the way home. i have phoned police etc etc.
but due to excess on my insurance it appears its going to be something i have to pay for. we have a holiday booked for 5 weeks time. i had saved up almost enough money for this.
i explained to ds that i should just be able to still manage the holiday if we are incredibly thrifty. so no days out before we go(except one which is already booked) when we go to parks etc we'll have ice cream at home instead of out, take lunch wth us etc etc. i would sort some things to put on ebay to try and raise cash and so on
he said ok then. we should ride our bikes more shouldnt we and save diesel. then he offered to turn off at the wall and not use his playstation before we go. and he's going to look around his room to see if there any other little things he can do to help. and he promised (i never asked him to) that he wouldnt ask for anything not even a bag of crisps if we are out.
how sweet and grown up is he. made me want to cry with pride. i cant believe this is the same little boy last weekend i got really ound up with and phoned my friend very upset cos he was a spoilt brat!! makes me feel very bad how annoyed i got last weekend cos he's clearly not from what he said today
