    Thanks...it ended up being a BBQ on the beach..very yummy and very very lovely and chilled.

    Today has been great too. Just a fish and chip tea...and some icecreams so again a pretty inexpensive holiday so far. Going on a long walk tomorrow so again inexpensive. No theme parks for us:D:rotfl:

    A Tilly Tidy today too and yesterday...am still hunting that sub £11k goal like a hawk;)

    Thanks guys..yes kerri the Balloon Fiesta is huge, one of the biggest in Europe..but don't go by car!! Walk across the bridge or bike. The Night Glow is amazing if the balloons actually get to fly.

    We are seeing friends this weekend so will probably miss it. But certainly an amazing Brizzle event!

    How are you getting on Kerri?

    Pretty cheap day yest..just bought ingredients to make a cream sauce for the mussels we gathered from the beach so pretty frugal and very yummy!:D

    Fridge almost bare which is also a good sign:D

    But the best news of all is the new sig..yes a week late but we have reached the next milestone!:T:T. Go us! Go me! :p OF, you can do that dance now:rotfl:

    When we get below £10k and so down to 4figures not 5 there will be one hell of a party that's for sure!:rotfl:

    Onwards and upwards and all the best for the weekend folks :)
