the youngest will soon be 3 (next week :eek:) and my daughter has just turned 4 :T and i know what you mean about cost of these books i spent tonnes on them when ds1 was at primary and gave them all away instead of saving them for the younger two :doh:

Updated signature, no more off debt but savings have gone up an ickle bit! Have now requested around £50 from ebay funds that are in PP so when they hit i will minus how much postage cost me and transfer all that to the emergency funds. Will also have a little rummage around for stuff to ebay later!

had one pm about an item i have on ebay (bundle of stuff) and they have offered nearly £7 which if not including p&p is great. If it includes p&p then won't be great....have messaged back for more clarification lol x

Ive been doing exactly the same. Seen the most beautiful hotel in Samos !!

Cover yourself in fake tan, Eat your dinner in a bikini, floppy hat and sunglasses. Pour yourself a vino with a swizzel stick and drinks umbrella in and sit underneath a very bright lamp ! ! Find some foreigny sounding music to play whilst to dine and Bobs Your Uncle ! Just dont forget to draw the curtains first ! Who needs a real holiday when you can have a homemade one ?!! :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: my budget was more skegness or camber sands than Samos anyway :rotfl::rotfl: so your idea sounds far better. Imagine how much wine i could buy with £300 for a 4 day break :eek::eek::eek::rotfl:

Other MSE news: I made £4. Long way off holiday money :eek::rotfl: and it all went to DS1 for his pocket money for the hols! He now has £9....more money than my current account holds, i should be worried, i think!?!

lol G to the mid-life crisis...i often wonder if that's what is wrong with me and cuddles have been shared - the only thing that cheered him up though was a gun with sponge bullet things in (??) from matalan in their sale so £1.50 spent and a happy little fella

I would feel cheeky taking the shoes off you cos i expect it would be a few years yet till ds2 is in them, ds1 is nearly in mens size 7 and ds2 is in a small size 7 xx

Don't be so silly, if you don't take them they are going to the charity shop.........
