:rotfl: No chance!!
His mother has a dentist appointment and they are helping his aunt and uncle with something, so it's just a coincidence that it's near my birthday.

OH and I went to Beefeater for some lunch. I had a voucher for a free birthday meal and I also got £5 off with my Beefeater reward points. OH had a mixed grill and some of the meat was only just warm, so he mentioned it to the waitress. The manager came over and offered us free desserts to apologise (which we gratefully accepted!). So we had 2 mains, desserts and drinks for just over £11. To top it off, we put £1 into the Deal or no Deal machine on the way out and managed to win £2 back
Also got a couple of freebies through the post - my Scholl foot pedi thingy (from BzzAgent) and a sample of Lenor conditioner.

Morning
Had a nice day yesterday. Got lots of eggs from my mum and had a nice Turkey roast dinner. OH and I then listed some stuff on eBay in the evening.
Today I'll see my niece and nephew and will be able to give them their Easter presents (can't wait to see my niece's face when she finds out I've got her the Frozen DVD - she has been on about it for ages and thinks she's getting it for her birthday).
Need to get the house tidy too as OH's parents are here from tomorrow evening onwards. Will do some this morning and finish up tonight. OH is away tonight so I'll have some peace and quiet.

No way!! He'll be back tomorrow night. He's got an early meeting so his company put him up overnight in a hotel.

I think I was the best auntie ever yesterday when my niece opened her DVD!! She obviously watched it immediately. She loves the song Let It Go, so I downloaded it last night and will play it in the car for her when I pick her up from school on Thursday.
The house is clean and tidy and ready for OH's parents arrival. I have stated that we can't afford to be buying takeaways and going out for meals whilst they're here. I don't mind cooking something for them, but if they want a takeaway or a meal out, then they will have to foot the bill. Probably went down like a lead balloon, but I don't care.
Work wise, I am fast approaching £320 on the questions (will get there by the end of the day).
