    Indebt, have you checked out the os board for some cheap meal ideas?
    If I was you, I'd get a massive bag of pasta, a few tins of chopped tomatoes, few onions and peppers and just have a pasta meal every night. VERY boring I know, but it'll keep you within your budget.

    Or, get a few loaves of bread and a few jacket potatoes, a slab of cheese, 4/5 tins of cheapo beans/spaghetti. Thay should sort you for the week. 3rd July sounds ages away (I think it's cos June has gone so quickly...??), but it's actually 1 week today.

    I know this cos 1 week on Monday is my birthday :D
    Thats the day I become old...

    How old??? Dont you dare say 30 or I will do a Noggin on you:rotfl:

    We're off to Pontins Prestatyn on monday so didn't want to risk driving with the kids that far if the brakes need sorting. Apparently squealing is a sign of worn brake pads so I don't want to take the chance.
    Have forgotten one rather important thing we need though.. a travel cot for Kaitlyn!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
    Have put an ask on freecycle so fingers crossed... otherwise we'll just have to hire one and pay £10.:(

    Well we're lucky cause Big G, Erin and me are going but we are taking my mum along too so built in babysitter! Mum and Erin are sharing a twin and me n Big G are having a dirty weekend! Well that's the plan anyway!

    We're going out on the saturday night to "Funny Girls" which is a drag act club, we're having dinner there and having some couple time.... (much needed!) Mum and Erin will stay at hotel and see what the entertainment is.

    We arrive friday evening, so won't do much, just go for a wander and get a pub meal somewhere or fish n chips.

    Saturday am - Planning on going to sandcastle as we love to swim...

    Saturday afternoon - maybe Pleasure beach / or madamme tussauds

    Saturday night - Funny girls

    Sunday am - wandering probably!

    Sunday afternoon - mum and i might go to bingo / big g will maybe take erin to pier or swimming again?

    Sunday night - all out for a meal or meal at hotel?

    Monday - might go to fleetwood market. Then drive home in late afternoon.

    not doing the tower as we did that to death 3 years ago on a rainy day!

    This is not really a plan, will just go with the flow but would like to plan do some stuff or we'll end up doing nothing. y'know how it is!
