    20p on the scratchcards this morn :p

    Have a family get together today, was meant to be a BBQ for my Nan & Grandad's 57th wedding anniversary (You'd get less for murder :rotfl:) but as the weather isn't great it's now in a hall and we're having a buffet. I'm making potato salad and tuna pasta & sweetcorn salad. Only thing is I can't remember if I have to cook the sweetcorn before adding it???

    I spent £17 on food yest, which wasn't too bad, had leftover chilli for tea last night with a jacket spud so all good really.

    Hope you all have a good w/end xx

    Off to OH's brothers tonight for OH's birthday meal, least I don't have to cook or pay for a meal.

    Have done 5 loads of washing this morning, mopped kitchen/bathroom floors and also communal hallways as they were disgusting!!

    DD wants to go see the new Hannah Montana movie, priced it up tonight and it would cost £15!!! Will see if she mentions it 2moro morning.

    Busy w/end ahead, staying a friends 2moro night with the kids as our respective OH's are out, mine out with his friends and hers on a golf w/end. Takeaway, wine, and plenty of girlie goss! Sun we're meant to be going to a BBQ for OH's sister's birthday but forecast isn't looking good.

    Hi tigzem - I make my kids contribute (and save up for) any cinema trips.... not sure if that helps. My DD is 6 and loves Bratz dolls - I find supermarkets and poundstretchers offer the best deals...

    Tis a good idea, DD is only 3, 4 end of Aug. Its the 1st time she's asked to go to see a movie, where they learn it from I don't know!! I may wait til it comes out on the kids club, adults go free then.

    I like Bratz dolls too :o
