Back to normal

I am shopping again - online of course.  Today I sent off the annual shipping order to the Book People.  I can't remember off the top of my head how many books are coming, probably around thirty, but it includes a pack of ten joke books.  I shall split them between little bear's Christmas and Birthday (three clear days between them) and suffer terribly, I am sure.  I think he will love them.  And it will help add to his playground cred.

And yes, I had a code for 10% off plus free delivery and via Quidco, and I got a free gift of some gift bags, so after shopping at a very inexpensive outlet, I still saved money. 

(Things are definitely back to normal.  I just checked the book people order and 65 five books are headed this way.  Three of them are for darling father, though.)

Little bear asked for books for Christmas - a direct quote is, 'books, books, books, books, books.'  Obviously other stuff will be sneaking in, but I am sure he will be fine.  There are no big toys I think he would either enjoy or need.  He has asked for books, he will get books.  There may be a few other bits and pieces creeping in under the radar as well, but I know how many toys darling father has already got him, and I know that last time my sister in law had him, the visit included a scouting trip to a toy shop.   I suspect little bear will be fine for toys. 

Currently he is very flushed with chapped lips and mouth ulcers.  However he is better in himself that he was at the start of the week when he didn't have the flushed cheeks and sore mouth but was definitely poorly, so he is in school.  I keep waiting for the call to get him, though. 

And to prove how much things are back to normal I am about to get a quick Asda delivery sorted so that we don't run out of cat food.  And I noticed that Approved Food have some coffee that OH really likes - although that is much less of a given, due to postage etc.  When all else fails, shop.  Sigh.
