£105 *faints*
For this half term so 5 weeks :cool: 1:1 lessons are pricey! to be fair missy H's lessons alone were £20 a session before we swapped to in school ones! School sometimes can pay 25% for hers when they have pupil premium funds in the pot but they ran out at christmas :eek:
We had a fantastic time at the Zoo, cost £35 entry fees then we decided as it was so cold to leave the picnic in the car and have food there.... £22 later it was sausage and chips all round from the chippy there. The Little Hinges chose to spend their pocket money savings in the gift shop on [STRIKE]more !!!![/STRIKE] cuddley animals... picnic was eaten for tea in the warmth of the Hinge household with the heating cranked up to thaw us all out!
£13 on Superman's dance shoes - his feet have grown and they were "squeezing my little pinky toe until it will explode" :rotfl:love his dramatic streak! Did manage to sell his old ones for £6 at dancing this morning :j:j:j:j so all is not lost!
I picked Mr H up a single red rose in the post valentines sale for 35p..... He is worth every penny :rotfl: and totally ok to be romantic on any other day but the 14th of February
.......I finally remembered shampoo :j reduced to clear so picked up a couple of bottles. If I can keep it away from missy H it should last me 6months.... if not maybe 6-8weeks
I'm sure she usues to just make the shower tray like a slippery ice rink :cool: orgot the ketchup though Living in a superhero induced haze :A:A

Both boys picked up some wilko "Lego" in the 1/2 price sale down to £1 or £2 each in exchange for their pocket money this week - currently busy building and playing at the table!
A few surveys in the bag this morning whilst stilling waiting for master H to finish his hibbie class -£3.50 in total ..... every little helps!
