    Hope ur ok, don't know if u managed to get a bbq sorted, we got ours from Argos for £20 round one with a lid and tools.

    The bucket ones aren't much good for home use as I find ur have to cramp over to cook there so low to the ground,

    Hope everything ok xxx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Hi Kim,
    I'm enjoying reading your diary, you are a force to be reckoned with! Would agree re the bucket ones, prob a bit small.

    Have a look on gumtree or Facebook selling pages. I got a big one for free as it had been left outside over winter. I bought some BBQ pride and with a bit of scrubbing it came up great! Hopefully you will be able to pick up a decent sized one for a bargain :)

    It's great that you can take number 8 to work, that sounds ideal for you... we will have to stop calling him number 8, soon. Any ideas of a name, yet?

    I will have 5 girls and 3 boys, its hard work with boys, I find the girls relatively easy but the boys OMFG they exhaust me. I love em to the moon and back but they are like duracel bunnies
    Just a single mum, working full time, bit of a nutcase, but mostly sensible, wanting to be Mortgage free by 2035 or less!

    I don't suppose they take the cheap, generic batteries? Darn sure they don't come with an off switch :D

    Hi all,

    Mila, I must in incredibly dense mode today; what is funny about the water? The first water; this is not a phrase in American? Two nations divided by a common language, we are.

    Are you familiar with the play, "1066 and all that"? There is a scene where Christopher Columbus is on trial for crimes against the English language and answers every question either "Yup" or "Nope"?
