Reasons to be cheerful (25/10/12)
17:17
1) I have FINALLY started my Christmas shopping, well the kids main presents. I am hoping they will be delivered tomorrow. Seriously, I am really worried about how am gonna afford everything year! Money is so tight and everything seems so expensive but I know we'll be ok. I think because the Christmas countdown seems to be on EVERYWHERE I go it makes me panic, lol.
2) I bought myself a pair of knitted boots on sale for £8.99. OVER half price. I never really spend money on myself and I know it should've gone towards Christmas but I really did need new boots. My trainers are falling apart, my other boots leak and I have no other suitable shoes for winter so really, it was a bargain buy and I really did need them. New boots (or shoes, or rather, any footwear always makes me happy, hehe)
3) It's Halloween next week, yay! I am really looking forward to it this year. As are the kids. I really do love this time of year.
4) My little girl had her first school disco - Halloween theme. She had a really good time and looked so cute all dressed up in her witches outfit, aww. I shall post pics next week when I get time and I need to figure out why my phone lead isn't working. Some kind of hardware problem with the laptop I think. Who knows.
Oh and one more reason. My kitten was poorly again but she's getting better now! Thank goodness for PDSA is all I can say!
