Day one done and dusted

Well I have 12 hard days until my parents get back from their trip and day one is done. Lets hope though that the rest of the days are not similar in nature. Mr nearly 8 was sent home from school with a suspected ear infection. So had to dash out and pick him up at 11 and bring him back to work with me. Luckily with things like ears nobody is contagious so he was ok at the shop with me. Also we weren't overly busy as the weather is lousy.

Dodgy ears meant a trip to the doctor as well because if there were problems I wanted to get on to them straight away. Also by going to the doc I feel happy sending him to school tomorrow. Luckily no antibiotics but $30 all the same. Just need to keep him on pamol until it's no longer hurting.

To save money I also got another script for the other rugrats regular prescription meaning if nobody is sick in the next few weeks I won't have to pay a prescription fee for a piece of important paper.

Also saving money today and for the next 11 days I have the work vehicle with free petrol - saving me about $6/day on a normal day but even more on a day like today with an extra trip to school and back to work.

Weather is disgusting with more rain forecast in the next 24 hours. Man it's wet outside. Yet another load is hanging on the airer under the heat pump but at this stage I am managing to keep up. Desperately needing some sunshine though as need to do a load of sheets in the next day or two. Lol the house will look like a hurricane has hit it with 2 airers and sheets hanging over door frames but if that's what it takes then that's what I'll do.

Have put $2 in my money tin today for the saving on petrol. Thought about putting in more but I'm having a girls weekend in Hanmer on Saturday night and will need some extra cash then.
