sleepy:

I thought shoes cant keep. Will start peeling off if pvc

Havent encountered this before. I rotate my shoes and sandals.

I encountered.
Bought a new pair of shoes and left it in the shoe box for quite some time.
I brought it to NZ during tour. It gave way and I ended up looking for a pair of shoes instead of touring.
Now whether I go overseas, I always bring a spare.

I did arm with a list of items to buy. But those items were not in my list...

I not only have a list to bring with, I also make a note in my phone on the promotional prices of regular items. So if that particular item is on promo n its as cheap as I got before, I will buy again, eg Softlan refill.

The items I tend to forget are the \"little\" ones like ginger, spring onions etc.

Anyway, back to ME time: I enjoy grocery shopping in the supermarket to fill up my fridge/freezer.
Seeing my fridge filled up to the brim makes me feel satisfactory

no ME time on my own...but a luxury not having to face assessment books or plan revision for CA/SA. basically a luxury not doing anything

I find I have much less me time now that the kids are on vacation. Not that they really need me, but there is just more coordination and having to note who is going where, when, with whom, whether they need fetching, which meals they are eating out etc, and also having to schedule some outings and activities as a family. I’m seriously considering getting a movement chart for the family! It’s simpler in term time as they leave at the same time every morning, stay in school most of the day, and they don’t have so many one-off activities outside school.

with kids at home during holidays, it's not possible to have ME time because they will be pop in to ask, 'are we going anywhere today? what are we having for lunch/dinner? can we go out?' the only wonderful thing is NOT having to look at the clock and eat when we feel like eating.
