Babs Keep posting as much as you like. Why not? You have lost a much loved part of your family. It hurts. I have 2 dogs, spaniels. I adore them.
Welcome back Adora.
Must admit, I've lost the thread again. Busy with the pony as the main competition of the year is this weekend.
DS also finished his GCSE's last week, and has a lot of post exam school treats, they are going to Alton Towers tomorrow, a fancy dress day Thursday and Friday is his prom. So busy there too and not much time to post.
And we haven't been frugal.
Today has been terribly expensive, and has made me question the long term frugality of not buying clothes.
DS needed a suit for his prom. I got one for £99 at Next, plus a shirt and tie, and then some shoes. He also needs new clothes for 6th form and some for his holiday. We haven't bought clothes for DS (other than swim shorts!) for nearly a year. He's not bothered, so he doesn't get them bought for Christmas or birthday etc. Including the suit and shoes, and some new sneakers, it cost me close to £400, I wonder if a couple of bits a month might have been a better spread of money? What do you guys all do? DS is obviously in adult clothes, being nearly 17 and long and lanky!! This pushes the cost up. We got lots of stuff from Primark and a few 'nice' bits from Jack Wills and Hollister, so he has something for 'best'
