    Hi hun, have been keeping up with your diary but I've been rubbish at posting, sorry!

    We've got into geocaching and thought it may be something you and DS enjoy.

    We must make a date soon x

    Had a lovely afternoon at friends house, sold my last bin on ebay for £3.50 :T and now need to get on with the dinner / homework / bath routine.

    Spends today = £5.50 on bread, milk, a witches hat (20p in tesco), a milkybar and some cold/flu capsules.

    Once homeworks done then we're going to decorate the witches hat and make it into a wizards one instead :)

    Oh and forgot to mention, I am going to my brothers in Bristol for bonfire night and have been thinking about how to find the money to get there ... well today I managed to spend £10 of clubcard vouchers on redspottedhanky e-voucher, which gave me £30 to spend there, and the return train tickets cost £28 with my railcard :T So they're booked and sorted for £10 tesco vouchers, bargain ;):D

    Oy-oy, I've been rabbiting on about geocaching for ages on my diary... hmpphhh! :o

    We started it back in July and until yesterday morning when a USB cable arrived for a GPS a friend gave me, we did it all by notes and drawings from the hints and logs.

    I honestly had thought about suggesting it for BB (he's a couple of years younger than my two) but didn't get round to it. It's a great way to get kids exercising without knowing it...my two would never go on a three or four mile walk with no incentive but throw in a few hidden geocaches and they're all ears!
