Haha, needless to say she didn’t believe us, so the truth was outed but the thought still counted.

The Simple Dollar offers some advice on how to begin teaching a teenager to manage their finances. Erin isn’t old enough to have any concept of money, in fact, she doesn’t have any concept of wanting anything other than if she sees someonelse with something, sweets, a book, a drink.

Good stuff.

We’ve been busy trying to lay a new floor in the bathroom. It’s our first attempt at laying a floor so we bought the vinyl tiles (they are meant to be quite easy), we are on our second attempt, and all seems to be going well now (fingers crossed, touch wood and all of that). We are also beginning to gear up for a wedding tomorrow.

That’s us back from holiday – 5 days at Centre Parcs in the Lake District, great times, swimming, soft play, table tennis, ducks, laughs, barbecues…we had it all.
Today we went to a local gala, we had a hotdog and Erin got a balloon, I think all the excitement has been too much for her, she is spontaneously falling asleep at every available opportunity.
