    Well that worked out ..........Not :rotfl:

    Was onto a good start got all organised with juice and snacks for the soft play at the sports centre walked all the way to Tesco as needed to get Xander a bottle of water........what did I do.........forgot the blooming bags :mad: so what should have cost me 40p costs me a fiver :mad: oh well :rotfl:

    Soft play way £11.35 which we stayed for two hours then we popped to Greggs for lunch and spent £ 8 there then it was off to th per train station where they were having a Easter egg hunt :D spent £9.50 on the Easter egg hunt, arts and crafts and a raffle where I won a make up session worth £28 :eek: will see if I can sell it on fb as I don't need a makeup session and it expires in June so if I can get it sold I'll put the money into the holiday fund :T

    Then it was off to lidl for break milk mushrooms ham and eggs so that was £6.85 so I reckon I have about £2 something left in my purse so nothing from my extra shift will be hitting the holiday fund :rotfl: oh well could be worse and all that stuff could have came out of my account :rotfl:

    We are back from our hectic morning / afternoon .........phew spent about £20 tho at the various fayre and egg hunt etc :p but I won a Easter hamper :j and a 1lb steak pie from our local butchers and Abbie won a free swim session in at the sports centre and Kk and Xander got a Easter egg for doing the egg hunt so not too bad I guess

    My extra shifts for next week have been paid upfront so I've transfered half towards the holiday spending fund :T in case I start spending it all :rotfl:

    Might be a bit ambitious but I think I'm going to aim for £750 for next weekend might leave me a bit tight on funds but we shall see :cool: I will be happy if I hit that xx

    Off for a nap with Kk as I'm feeling shattered older kids can fend for themselves this afternoon xx
