Happy Birthday to your DD.

Thank you so much everyone, she had a great day a morning of New DVD 's then a pub lunch, followed by family (including the inlaws, who managed to :mad: me again) followed by a curry with three friends then back to the log cabin to try out the disco lights and sound system.:rotfl: I have just dropped them all home.

So tired now, tomorrow the house will be empty apart from me, I am planning on sorting out the last of the party stuff then drinking lots of tea and hanging out on mse.

Just to add I have not forgotten my massive to do list, I just can't face looking at it tonight

Hi Tilly, its not too bad! We had far less come than expected, around 20ish. They were fairly well behaved as much as lots of 16/17 yr olds can be, but there is a lot of food squished into the decking I am psyching myself up to start now, obviously everyone else is in bed still :cool:

Congrats on a successful party!

Clearing up still ongoing , we are going to have another stab at empting the loft as we have not been up there since jan :eek: they could be starting in a couple of weeks.

It's going to be a long 6 weeks hols this year with no summer holiday so I am going to plan a few days out as cheap as possible. I just looked up the cost of the 4 of us (dh will be at work) using our Oyster cards for days out in London, its an £8.50 cap for me a day off peak and £1.50 each for the kids, so £13 a day.

Ideas so far that have not been refused are:

Natural history/ science museum
Picnic in Kensington gardens
Visit to "forbidden planet" ( nerdy comic shop )
Trip to the m&m'shop in Leicester sq
Meal at bodeans rib restaurant (probably over budget)
Camden market
London eye (free with passes, but I can't go as too high!)


I would like to go to the national gallery and London zoo, but they are not keen.

Other ideas not in town are:

Lots of orange Wednesdays
Chessington with best friend and her younger two


Anyone else have any cheap plans for the summer hols, I need some ideas to steal?
