Skint Spice's journey to being less skinty and more spicy

skint_spice

Had a cheap night in yesterday - original plan was to go to cinema but we decided to have a home cinema night instead so dvds, duvets and popcorn it was! bonus being mummy got to have a wee glass of wine too!

another day another beach... lovely day here if a little windy, went to look for seals but they were hiding today maybe cos noone was fishing?
one of DS's things sold on ebay and it was the most expensive so that was a bonus. he's looking for more [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] treasures to get rid of right now!

Glad something sold for him. It will learn him the value of money. My DS is now 20 and last year he wanted me to sell, sort it out and give him the dosh. errr! i gave him what was left after posting etc, but when they are little i wouldn't go as far.

That must be so tough...

Glad you're having a lovely time. Watching ferries, skimming stones and searching for seals sounds fabulous. And definitely strenuous enough to justify icecream.

Sounds like you are both having a lovely summer, who needs expensive holidays to have fun....

We have just come back from a holiday in Cornwall with the boys, my DS2 favourite activity????? Playing swingball outside of the caravan:rotfl:

ahhh but he's saving for a specific purpose Bob and he's very nearly there! whilst all his friends have been given PS3's he's been saving hard to buy one so will give him all minus posting for his efforts. Plus he's been exceptionally helpful in the garden and around the house whilst never asking for payment :A so I think he deserves it.

It is lovely when the sun shines Hollyberry, and I resisted the icecream today although he had one - puff candy today! sooo need to get my butt down the gym but we did walk about six miles all in today so not bad:D.

absolutely! hope the weather was ok for you Lou, swingball outside caravan eh - I thought they'd be joining the drunken teenagers down the beach:D! it's amazing how they do like daft things like that as long as they are in a different setting.

P.S. the seal spotting isn't usually too difficult as they are very lazy so hang around the harbour waiting for the fishing boats to come back!

Thanks Shaun, I'm not on holiday though - even though I wish I was - it was just the weekend:D.
Bank account on line not balancing today... hopefully they'll catch up tomorrow but payment doesn't seem to have arrived from ex although there's more money on the balance than possible if it hasn't - bloomin banks! they are messing up my lovely spreadsheet by doing this:o. (There is no chance he hasn't paid as it's a SO so no real worry but I wish they'd hurry it up.)
