Hello! It is me that wears my wedding tiara, to bath the Dc. Not every night but usually on our anniversary. Well remembered! Sadly it’s not real diamonds 
. I actually wore it last week when I had to make a video birthday greeting for a friend who now lives in the US (her husband was making an effort to organise stuff as it was a milestone one, so he made a video montage. I thought I’d dress up my t-shirt 
). First time in ages as I forgot this year on our anniversary.
Sorry about your cousin Curvy, you do have a
lot going on.
Unescorted I also had to look up Cape Wrath. That’s quite a trip... but at least when they get there there’s a cafe
Lonely fingers crossed for Monday. I also
remember when you got that job, it was such a help. Is DP still unable to work? I seem to remember he has awful issues (was it his back?)
The seaside yesterday was a bit of a strain. First the traffic was awful and we crawled along the A12 (WORST ROAD IN THE UK), the kids were good but not enjoyable. Then the beach /weather were good but there were a lot of dogs around and DS is absolutely terrified of dogs. So in spite of being really very excited when we arrived he was asking to go home after an hour 
. We stayed for a few hours but he was on alert and very anxious the whole time. Hey ho. We’ve been there before a few times and I don’t remember seeing dogs but I might not have noticed if it was before DS’s phobia took hold. We’ll need to find a dog-free beach next time.
Other than that I’ve been cooking a lot. I’ve made 3 batches of jam and PB cookies and a huge triple batch of meatballs and pepper sauce. And I’ve sorted the home insurance. Renewal quote was £785, got it it for £403. Quite happy with that!
My shopping has been very expensive - I’ve done some batch cooking and topped up the baking stuff with naice ingredients like nuts, dried raspberries etc, so it’s been a big one this week, over £200 
.
3 weeks till our holiday, yay!
