    Hi everyone - Wow Mogchops, what a situation to deal with!:exclamatiIs this 'thing' still going on? And did it start before or after he left school?

    It's been blowy today! Back to school for B today so back to the usual routine.
    1) Took T to Adventure Wonderland for the day using season tickets.
    2) Took a frugal picnic for lunch.
    3) Bought a magazine to read while we were there for 30p from the charity shop rather than buy a new one.
    4) Am making macaroni cheese for dinner.
    5) Bought a single airbed for £4 from Wilkinson, which I am very pleased with as I had been looking for a cheap z-bed for Christmas visitors. THis isn't as good but will save lots of pennies- and room!
    6) Checked quidco and entered some comps.
    7) SC x 10p

    I hope you enjoy your Friday night!
