    MANY moons ago we used to take my boys to see Disney on Ice as part of their Christmas treat back then it was £25 per ticket so £100 for the four of us. So I dread to think what they cost now.

    Hint...Take a big handbag and take your own pop and sweets, years ago it cost us £10 for a slush and a candy floss and the merchandise prices are horrendous :(

    On the plus side the shows are REALLY good and worth seeing. :D

    I hope you and Mr and the girls enjoy it, well done on your win :T

    Aww :o Thank you honey! :kisses3: :D Duly noted about taking snacks!! (I always do the same at the cinema! :money::rotfl:)

    No letters needed and I’m on just over £9k if prizes but I’d need to go on laptop to get an exact amount. Have had some big wins (well IMO) but still nothing over the elusive £500.
