Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I wonder what was more fun - the rides or the people watching??

newgirly

Haha, the people watching :rotfl: I had a look on google and apparently its a yearly meet up there, which is why lots of people stay away.

Up early today looking at (very) cheap receipes I can make without having to shop for anything, so far have made soup :

1 carton ald* passata £0.29
I carrot £0.05
1 veggie value stock cube. £0.01
A shake of chilli flakes. £0.01
A grate of ginger. £0.02
1 chopped garlic clove. £0.05
Few bit of fresh coriander. £0.05

Total. £0.48

I made this one up,it's in the sc at the moment, fingers crossed its ok, should be enough for lunch tomorrow as well

The kids are having homemade spicy wedges and beans, dinner is courtesy of my parents who spent just under £10 on a big leg of lamb they didn't cook that's out of date today, plus a gorgeous Easter fudge cake. :beer: I also aquired a dozen eggs from their chickens. Why can't every week be like this :rotfl:

Dd is at school all day, they have opened it for those who want to do extra work, she is such a good girl she is going in every day. The twins are yet to get dressed still though :cool:

Today the kids have the dentist, school and a maths tuition session. What a thrilling Easter break :rotfl:

The house should be tidy and clean but isn't as I spent the day cooking yesterday. I really feel I need to achieve something today, so I am going to declutter the conservatory. It should b a tranquil place to sit and read and look over the garden, but it is currently a dusty dumping ground for thousands of bits of paper, school books, work stuff for dh plus many other random bits. I think this one end of the living room is going to take the best part of a day to sort :eek:

Op made yesterday 10p , today 10p

Good luck with your sorting and decluttering, newgirly. I'll be doing some more of that today too.

never_too_old

I have sold my tent and someone is coming to collect the electric hook up which was sold on ebay.
I am going to try and snowball as much as i can towards other debts now the car has been paid for.Only 1 debt and the motrgage to go now:j

newgirly

Well done nto, I still haven't listed ours yet as I was hoping for the weather to pick up.

Yesterday I am ashamed to admit I didn't even go in the conservatory lt alone clear it out I just needed to get out of the house for a bit , so after the dentist we went to the game shop to spend the boys Easter money from family and then on to ik*a to get bedroom decoration ideas for when they have their own rooms. But as I am a bit broke at the moment we didn't really spend much , ds1 got a duvet set for £4 and ds 1 bought a purple vase for 50p they now have grand plans for their new bedrooms in the summer though.

Today Definatly is a scrub the house day, I do have n extra couple of boys round at lunchtime, so I might pop to the frozen food shop to get some junk food they can have in front of a movie.

newgirly

Conservatory cleared :dance: still cleaning to be done in there , but the mountains of cr*p have gone (plus one evil spider)

Just the whole of the rest of the house/garden/loft and log cabin to go, easy :rotfl:

That's great news - it makes such a difference to how you feel :T:T:T

Ignore the other jobs and enjoy the conservatory
