    I didn't thank goodness WB although the caravan was literally rocking. No idea how the awning stayed up, Popeye must have whacked those pegs in extra hard this year :rotfl:

    Just got back and catching up with everybody. Hubby has taken DS to town to meet DD for the Avengers film. He's so excited bless him. Apparently the teachers told all the pupils last week if they blurted any spoilers out it would be detention for them, which made me laugh. xx
  • I'm glad your caravan didn't take flight with the wind TF2 :rotfl:.

    That's very sweet how excited DS is about the film :D I hope he enjoys it.

    Morning :)

    Day 29/30, Prolific £3.26 cleared, 80p pending, Spends £13


    I've had a few small surveys over the weekend and also acquired some spare change from hubby which I've popped into a couple of pots. Thinking about the pots there'll be a new one added in May for treats but the CC over payments will go. All being well, the card is being paid off in July so the small amount that goes in there will go elsewhere instead.

    No spends anticipated over the next couple of days so hopefully I'll also be adding the £13 I've got left, the first time I think I've put anything extra away this month. :o

    I also bought hubby something out of my savings over the weekend so that's gone down to £30 - He's worth it though .... most of the time :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a lovely day. xx

    Your DS's teachers sound amazing. My eldest come home today ranting for nearly an hour because of spoilyat school. According to her she was 1 out of 3 in Her DT set that hadn't seen it. I'm really not a fan, so hoping hubby will take them. I never got over losing 3hours to lord of the rings and I'd rather not pay £9 to go to sleep :rotfl:

    Morning CG :) Aww what a shame your DD heard spoilers. Still definitely worth going to see though from what the DC's have said - the both want to go again! It doesn't appeal to me either, although I saw the first one last year on DVD and enjoyed it, I wouldn't choose to sit in a cinema for 3 hours. I think the teachers threatened detention from their own point of view tbh :rotfl: He said it was the first thing every one of them said in classes last week :rotfl:

    Hope you're OK and things are improving pain wise. Have a lovely day. xx

    Good Morning :)

    Day 30/30, Prolific £3.46 cleared, £1.65 pending, Spends £9.80

    My Avon order arrived yesterday which I'd forgotten about so spends were dipped into.

    Shopping and coffee day today which I'm looking forward to. They tend not to happen during school holidays so I'm ready for a catch up. If I don't spend anything today I'll be dividing what's left between the pots when I get home and getting myself ready for a new month tomorrow. :)

    Hope you all have a lovely day. xx
