No spend and free Fun Day

January 4th, 2016 at 08:20 am

DD and I took friend's stuff to the op shop, friend came with us to drop it off and then we took her to the supermarket to get a few things and I resisted the urge to buy anything.

After a cuppa at friend's house, we went to the library. DD borrowed two young adult novels and 3 dvds and I borrowed some Handmade and Homespun magazines, a few dvds and a John Grisham novel to try.

While in the library, Miss 13 said "Mum, why are you letting me hire all these things." I told her that everything was free to borrow from the library and she asked me why hadn't I taken her before. I used to when she was very young, but she didn't remember. Needless to say we will be going back together regularly. I love free entertainment for the whole family!

I'm a big fan of the library too. Sounds like great entertainment for both of you.
