    Wow, love the sound of the bring your own drink, and well done to DH, re car.
    That was a bargain and a half the power rangers set, - sounds gd idea the mcdonalds meal - just a thought - what we did for dd's bday when she had a sports hall party, was use food boxes, then when the party invites went out, put a little meal sheet in - really cheap, no food wastage.

    I did was
    Ham or Cheese Sandwich
    Mini cocktail sausages
    Mini sausage rolls
    Pck crisps
    baby bel or chedder (they were hit and miss)
    Cheap fruit bottle drinks.

    I've got some spare boys boxes (and girls) if you want them, let me know and can post them to you.

    Def agree with Red, you sound so upbeat, plz bottle it and pass it on. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    So tom i did promise ds domino and at hme cinema night but i have borrowed the film i he wants to see and i cant get out of dominos so he can have one and i will share.(better for diet too;)).
