Let's not talk about yesterday

I’d rather not think about it. Suffice to say that I didn’t go to work as I couldn’t face being away from a toilet for the length of the drive 🙁

But it was a 24 hour bug, so I was back in the saddle today, while Tim dropped my car off at the garage for its service and MOT. Quite impressed to get it back this evening, was fully expecting to hear that it was going to cost at least £100s to keep it running for another year. Kids enjoyed the drive up as well – Small sat next to me on the way up and Big on the way back which was quite pleasant (apart from the wailing when Small realised I’d meant what I said about taking it in turns this morning) and headed off the usual bickering.

Managed a bit of Chrimble shopping today, something for Small. Couldn’t find a similar set for Big – they had some good ones (under £10 in the local coop) but none that really seemed right. Quite liked this but she’s seen at least one of them already. Tempted by this but think I might have enjoyed it more than her 😉

Anyway, I’m off work tomorrow (just love getting to December with holidays left over 😉 ) so I’ll probably be back tomorrow night with more shopping reports.
