After everything, secure in the knowledge that someone is visiting Uncle, I am having a duvet day today. Father is home, in his room and has been told in no uncertain terms that if he tries to do anything more energetic than reading the paper I am hiding his trousers. DH is on antibiotics and bear is suffering with a cold. I had already booked the after school club, expecting to do a lot of visiting, so I am taking the time to catch up.
I think I also need to give myself a bit of a nudge when it comes to saving. I took the BBC's test about how much you know about the cost of living here and failed miserably. Unlike Mr Cameron, who was caught out when asked about the price of bread, I do buy all the stuff (apart from the pint of lager) but I buy value brands and cost cutting stuff. I scored dismally.
However it did make me think about how on the ball I actually was. I regularly decide I am going to be more frugal. I regularly let it slip. However each time I slip a little less. I need to get back onto it.
That can wait until tomorrow. Today is a much needed duvet day.

I failed the test too, which I was cross at as I do all the shopping! I laughed at the thought of hiding your father's trousers. Brilliant idea! Lesley x
Lesley - father told me he would just go out in a skirt. I know I'm not going to win. He's doing a lot better. WS xxx
