Hello all.

Happy to see the CDR beasties are being cared for:) The kids and I are currently sitting a state away housesitting for my parents who are in Germany for the summer. -They'll be paying me in Marzipan. My oldest daughter needed some doctor appointments and ear surgery at the hospital here so it all worked out really well.

Keeping busy taking care of my kids and beasties, going back to school via the interwebs, working at the preschool this Autumn, homeschooling my son as usual, and chauffeuring the rest of the kids per my slavery obligations. Enjoying a break from the various messes and construction projects I've been doing at my own little house. Planning on putting my feed up a bit! It's very needed!!!

Have a great day, everyone!

Happy Wednesday people. I have been shopping for my holiday and put a rather large sum on the credit card.

Being taller than average, I always struggle to find stuff that fits and clothes shopping is usually a chore for me. I also have an aversion to spending money, Yorkshire upbringing ;), which doesn't help.

JoesDad actually told me very firmly not to scrimp last night - so you can't overlook that kind of instruction ;)

I have bought a couple of really nice dresses though. I'm really pleased with them... and they were half price in the summer sale :) Even with the instruction I'd have winced at paying full price for them!

It would be rude not to do as he said!:)

I think that's a very good look for Adam - he should keep it!
Glad you've had a great time John.
Wishing you, Adam and Wifey a safe journey home.

France - Languedoc - we go most summers. It's somewhere we can completely switch off. We have rented a house and will drive down.

Daughter is coming with us (free sunshine ;) ) and son flies out to Nimes from Stansted on an extremely cheapy flight for the second week. It will make a change to have all 4 of us in the same place. Son and daughter haven't seen each other since Christmas and they're very close.
