I've just done my weekend catch up.
Sunny my main two pairs of jeans were bought in Next and Debenhams. I have them years and they're still going strong. But I don't have a dryer so maybe that's why. I tried on a pair of skinny jeans once and while they made my legs look like drainpipes, they made my arse look ginormous! So I stick with regular jeans.
DD was awarded lots of badges at beavers and cubs but they were mainly group activities/projects so everyone got the badge at the same time if they participated. The badges usually hung around for a long time before one of us gave in to DD's nagging and finally sewed them on 
.
MIL and FIL have an electric car and it's rather eerie seeing them take off with a silent engine.
Cag sorry to hear about DD's 'friend'. Obviously she's far better off without her but it's a slow and painful realization. 
to you and DD. Great news about the PIP money. Are you going to treat yourself to something nice or be sensible and save it for new house related stuff?
Laska I'd be raging about the sponsorship form too. I've only ever looked for sponsorship at work once and I just sent an e-mail around to say that I had a form if anyone wanted to sponsor me. I wouldn't dream of approaching anyone in person. A guy in work kept bringing in sponsorship forms and they weren't even his - his Mam kept picking them up and then giving the form to him to find sponsors! In the end one of my colleagues said, "Look, I'll sponsor you today but this is the last time".
Meadow glad your oral exam went well. Your posts always remind me how difficult life can be for people who suffer from anxiety (everyday things like a trip to the hairdresser). I think I probably take my ability to do these things for granted and don't appreciate them enough.
em well done on the cake sale. The horse is very cute. Good news about Catface. Not such good news about the car 
.
life hope you're feeling better today
Lonely well done to your DD in the school concert. I was laughing at your description of your baby's scan and how the 'boy bits' turned out to be the umbilical cord 
. Also your naughty spaniel doing a poo on the vet's floor.
mammy sounds like a lovely evening with your friends
Lovely dresses Laska and need
Having a quiet Saturday today. DH is out for the day and he's staying over with friends later. DD was supposed to be going on a day trip with Scouts today but she was a bit tired and grumpy last night so DH promised her she didn't have to go if it was raining (I wasn't there when they had this conversation). It was raining and windy this morning so we cancelled. I'm not sure I'm altogether happy with this as I don't want DD thinking it's ok to cancel something just because you're tired/grumpy/it's raining etc. And I'm also aware that the leaders have given up their day to take the kids out and entertain them. But like I say, I wasn't there when they had this conversation so I won't say anything until I speak to DH and get the full story from him.
Anyway, DD and I are going to have a quiet day and cuddle up on the sofa later and watch 'La La Land'.
