    So, baths done (hair was looking shocking after swimming yesterday so had to do it this morning), we're playing schools now :cool: joy oh joy ...

    This afternoon we're off to watch Bournemouth in a football match, will cost £16 for the two of us :)

    I did try to work out my money for this month but somehow seem to have over £300 left, which is great but its more than I started with at the beginning of the month so somethings not right :rotfl:
    Mortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000
    Mortgage Overpayments Pot £1587

    Wish that'd happen to me-it would be so useful!
    Sounds like you are having a great weekend. My DD was in a show last night and was 3 hours late for bed. She's still in her pyjamas watching SarahJane while I try and get a cheap portable DVD player for our hols. Going to mums for tea so (apart from possibly paypal) having an NSD today.

    This afternoon has been one of those wierd but lovely ones :) We went to see the football and were queuing for tickets (£10 adult and £6 child) when a guy came up to me and said he had some spare complimentary tickets and would we like them :T :T I love it when stuff like that happens, and is probably one of the perks of being female at a football ground ;) as I could see various guys glaring at me in the queue :D

    Then, having saved £16, we went into the club shop and they were selling off some old stock and I got ds two pairs of football shorts and a gym bag, all were reduced from £14.99 to £1 :money: :money: It really was my lucky day today! The only negative bit was the football, it was absolutely dire, but by then I really didn't care :D

    What a bargainous day out:beer: I love a day like that, just one of those lucky ones for you;)

    So, as school staff with our lovely summer hols nearly here, do you have a super-long list? I've been thinking of things I need to get done in the 6 weeks...I must post on my diary (it's been very badly neglected recently:o).

    Your lists are legendary:rotfl:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
