    Afternoon :)

    Been a spendy weekend. The weather has been brilliant! We went to a local family fun day and spent far too much. Smalls had lots of fun though and it was so nice to watch youngest being confident enough to join in some things. Followed by ice creams and BBQ items from the supermarket! Again more spends today on ice cream and things. Need to turn it in now and be more sensible! I think we've spent around £35 so maybe I do need an entertainment budget!

    We where supposed to be having a roast today but it's far too warm. Think I might do the chicken with baby potatoes and salad things. Or maybe pasta salad. Not sure will see what everyone wants.

    I love how much cleaning we've got done inside and out. Always seem to get so much more done when it's nicer weather and for the first time this year I have got loads of washing dried outside.

    Hope everyone else is well and enjoying the lovely weather

  • I'm also doing a Roast chicken, but its far to warm to have with roast tatties and all the rest, so just having a chicken salad and some new potatoes.

    Glad you all had fun at the family fun day and are enjoying the warm weather. xx
