I was talking to a friend yesterday and mentioned I knew someone who had been invited to a party and had to pay for their own food & entertainment, and she said her daughter had also been to 2 parties this year exactly the same! One was the cinema and pizza hut after and the other was quaser with a meal and she had to pay for both!!! Shocking!!

(saying this though, my children's birthdays haven't been yet wonder if i should do the same )

:rotfl:I have actually been thinking over the weekend that its actually me that's got the wrong idea with regards to the birthday parties and its the other mums that are sensible ! How much money I could have saved over the last 15 years doesn't bare thinking about !

Lovely to hear from you Princess. When you get the laptop again it would be lovely to hear how you are doing.

Life would be very dull if things were quiet with nothing going on.

Very quick Monday morning post.

Weekend flew by in a fuzzle of parties, cleaning, jobs, cooking and lord knows what else ! Garden Slide sold on ebay was collected and paid for . £25 in the coffers. It was lovely weekend though, Mr PG had Sunday off which was slightly weird so we sat down to a lovely family Sunday Roast, I think the last time we managed that was Christmas ! :rotfl:DD1 spent yesterday cramming for forthcoming exams and DD2 re doing her Geography project that she had lost last week when the laptop crashed after her spending three hours on it. Thankfully it was written in rough so to help her out, I typed it up for her again over the weekend and she then added the pictures and the pretty bits. I couldnt make the poor child sit for another three hours re doing it all over again. It looks great though and has taken it in to school today with the threat of detention hanging over her head for it not being ready last Friday .

Paid something towards the predators this morning and updated the signature. Its looking better and better but still a massively long way to go though. The bank loan , as of this month is now languishing in the £20K's rather than the £30's, so that has put a smile on my face this morning. May even treat myself to a chocolate cookie with my coffee to celebrate . .

Work though has sadly dropped off. Nothing booked in now for two weeks, so today is drumming up work day and Mr PG can start on his long overdue list of jobs.

He has just taken his car in for a service, it also has a weird banging sound coming from it, think its a bearing and the Depollution System needs changing which the part if £180 plus labour. It really is never ending. :eek:

Having spotted a mention on Mrs B's diary re a blog by the name of "A Girl Called Jack" for anyone that hasnt seen Mrs B's post the blog makes very interesting reading. I have been hooked all weekend, and keep stopping for a quick read when I have a spare second.:o

Right thats it for will try and drop in on everyone later.

Happy Monday to you all xxxx

That blog is brilliant, I have been reading it too. I am inspired by the loveliness of the food and the cheapness of the shopping! Hope the car isnt as ill as you think. x

Let me know if you make anything Skint, I am interested to see what the meals taste like ! I am reading the bloggy bit at the moment and have got as far as the Herman Bread which has now been eaten. I am going back to the food later.

Think the car is pretty poorly but you know I am fed up thinking about cars at the moment. x

Just heard rumblings that the parent company of the Client we had the contract for earlier this year has gone into receivership :eek:

Luckily for us they made the final payment to us last week . I have heard though of others who have not been so lucky.
