Hello, I hope you’re all well.<\/p>\n

I’m so relieved that Fireworks night is over. I’m not a massive fan. Izzy loves it but Josh is in my camp and is really not bothered! He’s more interested in the rides and candy floss!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Lulu really struggles with the bangs \ud83d\ude41 I don’t know why we don’t just only have silent fireworks now? She was allowed on the sofa for a cuddle – special treat. She sheds so much, we had to stop letting her up. Excuse the state of the house in the background. Oh the shame! Piles of laundry everywhere! I’m sure you can relate!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

And I’m eyeing up the Ruth Langsford faux leather trim jumper<\/a> too.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

The L’Occitaine 4-piece liquid soap refills<\/a> are also calling me! Their hand soap is my favourite.<\/p>\n

Can you believe there’s only 6 weeks til Xmas? Argh! I must stop buying for me and sort out the kids. LOL!<\/p>\n

I hope you’re more organised than me and all these deals are helping. I wish we did sofas as the one we were waiting for has just fallen through, and now I need to try and get one before Xmas! I’m not holding my breath! Stress levels are moderate to high right now! LOL!<\/p>\n

I’m off to trawl the internet – wish me luck!<\/p>\n

Loads of love to you all<\/p>\n

Speak soon<\/p>\n
