My feet are cetainly letting me know they are on the end of my legs!!!! Had a lovely day and the chaps enjoyed it to. Life is funny, the number of times I've been to shows and thought oooh if only I had some cash. Well today I did and saw nothing to tempt me. OH managed to buy 2 shirts for £12 and the chaps didn't want an ice cream!
Was hoping to go to a local italian restaurant for tea which opened at 5, people at work rave about it. Arrived at 5.10, 1 table with people seated and the rest empty. Told they were fully booked and we couldn't get in. Turned away 7 customers! Had a naff meal somewhere else where I complained about my lasagne being bland, tasteless and over cooked. I left half of it and was charged half price, so excellent for the weight loss. Just come in and had a yogurt.

Cranking up the barbie, think the points are shot to hell today.
DS1 has gone clipping and not sure when he'll turn up, probably smell him before we see him.
DDs 1 and 2 have been to a football training thing for a few hours today and DS2 has mowed the lawn. I have managed to make some 0 points veg soup a pity I haven't managed to shove it down my neck. Got a long weekend as the chaps have a teacher training day on Monday. Been asked to work for a couple of hours tomorrow, so a few more quid in the ski fund.
I've managed to wash the boys actual duvets and get them dry. Just got the girls to do and will probably send ours to the the dry cleaners. I could really do with finding an extra forty quid and that would bring us under the 22k mark, preferably before the end of the month.

Am jealous of the barbie! I am having a low point ready meal which is blander than a bland thing in blandtown.....
Thankfully am at a bbq tomorrow, so can make up for it then!
