I love my nephew but so far today -
A dog walk
90 mins swimming
Made sausage rolls
Made biscuits
90 mins on inflatables
Played doddle and now out again with his RC car.
Only another 4 days until he goes home 🀣

Quick reminder that anyone who fancies it is welcome to join our little gang but I don’t add anyone until they ask … so that does mean it is helpful if any of you can repost though lovely people to reach anyone who might want to be in the party! :) Thank you! X

Feeling rather proud of this. Been a very steep learning curve. Just 2 mums who wanted to help others

Productive few hours with my parents, ISA’s changed for better interest rates, online banking set up and training given on how to use it 🀞

Went to visit my parents today. They were ready and waiting with a long list of jobs that needed doing from sorting their iPad to helping switch dad’s mobile contract.
I do miss not living round the corner from them

Possibly an unpopular option but saw ABBA Voyage yesterday. Yes it is very clever, yes the effects are great but I was disappointed with the song choices and leaving out some of their best hits. Just seemed a bit flat #abbavoyage

Brilliant time at the London Palladium watching the panto last There is always a Panto Dame and Dame Judi Dench was sitting across the aisle from us! Loved watching her laugh so much

Just had some lovely flowers and a card from an adopter I helped to get an adoption allowance. It was a very long fight and one that really should not have been needed. When you are at your most vulnerable, you should not have to bare your soul many times and beg!

It’s not Christmas until you have spent an hour trying to find the end of the sticky tape
