    Well Happy Birthday to my youngest today - age 10 now;) (Lord I feel old!)
    Just me up so far though, I told her she could wake me at 8, but I was early. So having a quick coffee and browse on here before she's up.

    Off to my sister's an hour away today, going to have a wander round the shops, get girls an ice cream at the beach and have party tea tomight. Tomorrow we're off to a mini theme park place, paid for with Tesco deals and big picnic coming with us - girls just can't wait. My sis has 3 girsl, 11,6 ans 1 so they'll all have a fab time together.

    Money is looking OK - glad to have the birhtday's almost out of the way;) SHouldn't spend too much over the next 2 days and at the weekend they girls are with their dad so not much spending for me there.

    I finally have my barium meal scan on Monday - nice:rolleyes: So I have to have a limited diet all weekend, no meat, fruit or veg and laxatived Sun night to clear me out hahaha:rotfl: I think I'd rather be going to work on Monday;):oOh well, we'll get to find out how bad the manky bit is in me I guess.

    Must pay for the holiday today - it's fab knowing that I've saved for it...no credit, all my own ebay earnings etc:p

    We made samosas to take for tea tonight and I have E'm cake - re\dy to decorate when we get there. Tomorrow we're having a treat - Pizza Hut delivery dinner, 50% off.....nice;)

    Anyway, must go, I think I hear footsteps upstairs:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    That's us back from my sister's - had a lovely couple of days! E's birthday was good and yesterday we went out for the day, girls all had a fab time on the rides while my sis and I wandered around with her youngest who's 1. Took our own food, so only spent on car park, can of drink for me and ice cream for girls. We had Pizza Hut delivered in the evening, with a 50% voucher - so my share came to £9, bargain:D:j

    Today girls have gone to their dad's, so I've had a lovely lazy afternoon in the garden in the shade with my book. Have written out a list of money in/out for June, and it all looks ok:rolleyes: Hoping to have a much less 'spendy' month now their birthdays are out of the way (for another year woohoo:beer:)

    I must write a list of things to get done before i go back to work on tuesday....will do that later and post it up. Today I've done one washing and it's in ready to be ironed. I've stripped girls beds to wash tomorrow and will do mine in the morning. Got loads of ironing to get done, and whole house needs a quick hoover/dust.

    Next week's meal plan is donw, and the list. Going to go shopping on Tuesday evening again, can't face it tomorrow:o So must just see what we need until then. I'm stuck with a limited diet myself til mon cos of the scan - just an omelette tonight I think, but no veg allowed in it:rolleyes:

    Anyway, off to watch Britain's got talent (and hope the crying girl doesn't get very far;))

    Yep exactly same as me - that Aiden chap was fab, girls like him too of course;) They love Stavros Flatley too, very funny, but not sure how long you could watch that act for!!!:D

    And do you know Mrs......I saw on your diary you were going to do the ironing while BGT was on....so I thought what a good idea and am doing kine right now (quick nip on pc during ad break!) - so i hope you're ironing too:rotfl::rotfl:

    Is it wrong to mention I've finished it already :o:o There wasn't as much as I thought, most was folded up as it dried and doesn't need doing, honestly :D
