Anyhow, on the advice of someone on this site (sorry, cant remember who it was) we chose a theme (a country) and used it for our entertainment, and food.
So, we chose China. My older son had already been to a Chinese club not so long ago, so told us a bit about the language, then we researched more about it, looked on the maps we have and found where it was, then we all helped (!?) make dinner- Home Made Chicken Chow Mein (with prawn crackers).
It was FAB!!!! Thanks to you all so much!
What a great idea! We are also in a very tight budget situation, actually more like a strangulation, so anything that can lighten the mood would be fantastic.:TI divorced my First Husband on Religious Grounds:A
He thought He was God. I didn't!;)0
