    Expect A LOT of washing from Silverstone! We went over today and it was already flooding in places, did not stop raining the whole day and really muddy everywhere. Start bulk buying the washing powder now!!!

    Not sure where Renault thing is but its defo not at Silverstone this year :( They posted this on FB a while ago:

    "The Silverstone meeting isn't a WSR event this year... With the Olympic year it was more difficult to organize. But we will be in England!
    There will be two FR 3.5 Series' races (2 races but no activities, no F1 show because it's not a WSR event) during the World Endurance Championship meeting (august 25-26). So if you want go to Silverstone and watch our races, you have to buy tickets by contact the WEC organizer (www.fiawec.com ) or Silverstone track"

    Silverstone are now advising people not to attend tomorrow unless they can walk from their campsite or have Park & Ride, thank god I booked the park & ride despite only living a few miles away! We got stuck in traffic for about an hour but must have missed most of it as some people were stuck for 7 hours and then got turned away at gate. Theres been such a lot of rain though, not really much else they could do I dont think.

    Thank you all :) I know most people think 5 is mad let alone having another :) But I dont care we love having a large family. Ofcourse it will never help the debt to have another mouth to feed etc but I dont care :p You only get one life so have to live it how you want and the debt will just take a little longer (its taking long enough anyway with 5 so might aswell have 6 :D) Its not as expensive when you have more as can use hand me downs etc so one more wont cost as much extra as when DD1 came along.....

    Anyway its really early days so fingers crossed it all goes OK......

    Yesterday I went back to change some of the uniform which didnt fit from last week - cost a extra £4.50 as the bigger ones were more expensive. Also had to get some pregnancy vits (3 for 2 in boots so got 3mths worth) and some digi test (waste of money getting expensive ones when I already know im preggers but had to see what week it said lol) S0 £18 in bo0ts :cool: Today should only be youth club for kiddies and then my dad is watching kids as we have parents evening. He is bringing chips for the kiddies and Me and DH are going out for a meal :) Its a late anniversary meal as DS was ill when we was meant to go. Should be a nice money and Dad had said he was giving some money for us to go out for our anniversary so shouldnt cost too much either.
