    Still feeling rough today, tomorrow we are going to the harry potter studio tour, so I really cannot miss that!

    I can use my cc again at last as this months bill has now been created, it has been a long broke month. I still have loads of approved foods left from the last order, but have used quite bit so might order again this month.

    Its time to get a bit more focused on earning and sorting the house out, perhaps i should join the fly lady thread.

    Come on over to flyladies when you're feeling better - I'm an on/off flylady, but my noticeably house is better when I'm doing it. Not this week though - am flying, but off list, as am tackling specific problem areas (ironing pile, paperwork.....) Back on the list when my lot are back out next week :D

    Thanks greent , I might do soon but I think I shall have to hire a skip first!

    I am soooo excited that I'm going to the harry potter tour, I actually could'nt get to sleep last night :rotfl:

    When the kids are back at school next week I am determined to get back on top of things, the house is not very organised at the moment and we were talking last night about doing some painting as its getting grubby, I have been reading lots of frugal blogs lately , so would like to try and do it really cheaply and perhaps renovate some of the furniture we already have/ make some curtains :eek:.

    Anyway I need to get ready as did i mention i am going to the harry potter tour :j:D Nto I will fill you in on all the details later!

    :j The harry potter tour was FANTASTIC!!!!

    We spent hours and hours there looking at every single thing there, if you are a big fan and live near enough then I highly recommend it. We went down diagon alley, saw the knight bus, privet drive and a million other wonderful things. After a short film about the tour at the start the cinema screen lifts up to the actual front doors of hogwarts and then the doors open to the great hall, at which point dd's friend burst into tears! :rotfl:

    Anyway, apologies to those not keen on HP, its not mortgage related but its all I can think about at the moment.:D

    Hi nto, it is £28 per adult or I think £83 for a family of 4, I paid an extra £4 to have them posted but you can collect there and the booths were empty. They have timed entrance slots but you can stay as long as you want and it was not crowded so you could see everything easily, and you can take photos everywhere. DD's friend took 342 on her own, we must have close to 1000 altogether. They also rode a broom on the green screen and you could buy the photos which were £12 each or 4 for £20.
