Love the pics but I'm not posting what I am wearing as I look a bit rough today 
. Em, I love that dress!
Had a roofer round to quote for getting the roof fixed - we don't need a whole new roof (thank god!) but we have quite a few missing and loose tiles and the pointing on the ridge tiles is shot. Anyway, he also had a look at our condensation problem and said that he thinks the lagging need cutting back in places and some ventilation bricks installing, which he will include. We are going for it so it will be £1250 in 2-3 weeks time. We also have a decorator booked to paint our hallway next week - we've been here several years and not done it so it looks appalling. I've painted the rest of the house myself but can't do the hallway because of the high bits around the stairs. So it's an expensive time - but the first opportunity I've had to get anything done in ages because of our both working FT and commuting previously. I figure it needs to be done - either I'll get back to earning at some point, in which case we can replenish our savings, or if that's not an option we'll have to sell up anyway, in which case we'd need to do the remedial work to the house, so we may as well crack on. And have a watertight roof for winter. Gulp.
Spends today £72 to the boiler service man for yesterday, and £70 to DS's private SLT who comes fortnightly. We can't really afford to do this but can't afford not to, iyswim. In- laws have said in the past they'd be happy to help if there are any costs for therapy, I haven't liked to ask but will discuss with DH whether we should take them up on it as we may have to cut back otherwise. It was a really good session today, I am learning loads by observing. Was v proud of DS today and also at the nursery parents' evening yesterday. He is very behind his age group for most things but actually ahead in pre-school maths. I am just so glad he has something he can be successful in, it will really help his confidence. He's not very aware of other children and comparing himself yet but I am sure he will be soon, and that will be hard.
Will be a bit more spend later, parking at the SN playgroup we go to. And possibly more %#{€$* strawberries. Though there seems to be a supply problem at tesco and the posh greengrocer on our high st is ridiculously expensive (and yesterday's weren't even very good). Hate buying ridiculous fruit out of season!
