Morning everyone! We're finally on holiday after a very frantic day of working/packing/getting our house ready for possible viewings whilst away/child wrangling/spilt nail varnish on the new carpet etc etc!
I'm annoyed at dh stopping at services and spending £9 on snacks - something I've tried really hard to avoid in recent times - but we left the house empty of food before we left. I've been super organised and booked a delivery slot for when we get back. Il add to it over the next two weeks.
Granny I love the South Wales stretch of coast. We're in Bristol so it's very convenient for us. We had a day trip to Ogmore-by-sea last weekend - not quite as far as you but gorgeous, sandy and shallow once the tide went out. Quite rustic, as are the beaches closest to us here in Devon, but I do also love a 'proper' seaside as you describe life so we will probably visit Torquay or Paignton for some chips and arcades too.
Lonely I always think of you as really outdoorsy and into camping! We invested in a huge tent when our twins were born but it was so blummin hard to put up we rarely camped for a couple of years. Last year we decided to sell it and have now got a smaller, inflatable tent for camping ease!
Unescorted a huge congratulations to your dd. Her work is exceptional. I fondly remember buying everything but the kitchen sink before heading off to uni only to discover that so had everyone else in my flat share so we had 8 frying pans, 8 kettles, 8 sets of cutlery etc etc 😂
Adora that's a tough situation with your twins. Hard for your dd who is now having to search for a place but also hard on your dd who wants to celebrate but must feel she doesn't want her sister to feel upset. I hope you work something out today.
North I'm sorry your ds didn't get the grades he deserved either. There have been many wise words from the frugaleers. I think it was Mrs who said that a BBD is still to be celebrated. He obviously worked his socks off in the face of adversity. As above, I hope everything becomes a bit clearer today.
