Another meal out yesterday for dd's birthday, in fact brunch out too, eek! She only has one lesson on a Wednesday and asked to have a day with me so brunch was part of that. Also went out to the coast & had a bracing seafront walk & then a bit of Christmas shopping, it was lovely. But not frugal so belts need to be tightened a bit. I'm taking my mum out today. Probably will go to a fabric shop, garden centre & then try to have a walk out by the coast somewhere. Hoping she will pay for lunch!
Making a concerted effort to keep Christmas simple. It's always small as we only have small families who live miles apart, but dh has a tendency to food shop to excess. Think piles of Christmassy flavoured crisps, twiglets, nuts etc. We never eat it all so I am going into list overdrive & will try to get him to stick to them!
Bought tickets for Mamma Mia yesterday. One ticket is Xmas present for mil & ive suggested to sil that we get our tickets in lieu of presents for each other. Makes sense to me but haven't heard back from her yet.
