Our Free Day Of Fun

Hello all hope everyone is keeping well. We had a smashing day yesterday and the cost of the day was zero it was all completely free. Once a year the local churches get together to arrange a free fun day for the children in the area and it takes place on the big green just outside my house. This year they had giant noughts and crosses, glass staining candle holders, making a spiders web from wool, giant garden pick up sticks, giant snakes and ladders, learn to play the bongos, general drawing and colouring, sandpit, face painting, bouncy castle, and free tea/squash and cakes. We had a lovely time we found a nice spot on the green where we could keep tabs on Brandon and enjoyed our free drink and cake whilst Brandon made full use of the facilities on offer.

Such a wonderful idea and it helps bring the community together. Personally I would be happy to pay a small amount in order to have something like this more regularly in the community. It was a wonderful day and Brandon thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Much Love

Flowers For Pennies

Hello all I'm back and feeling so much better. I had a couple of rough weeks following my operation but the last week or so I have felt very well and almost back to my old self again. Yesterday Lee had a day off of work so we went into Salisbury for the day. We took Ben and Brandon for something to eat and then went to visit my friend in Salisbury hospital. She has broken her leg very badly and has had to have an operation on it and is awaiting a second operation to put a metal plate in her leg. After spending a few hours with the bestie we decided to treat the boys to a cinema trip (Lee's treat) and we watched Smurfs 2. The kids loved it and it was nice to be able to watch a film in the cinema without the worry of having an attack. On the way home we stopped at Tesco and got some really good end of day bargains I got the following
6 white hovis rolls 12p x3
6 large bananas 6p
4 organic gala apples 25p
6 everyday value apples 20p
Large bag of grapes 20p x2
Bag of lettuce 10p
2kg of potatoes 14p
6 tomatoes 12p
Large bag of mushrooms 9p
Bag of sliced apples 5p x3
Bunch of pink freesias 30p
Bunch of pink roses 30p

That's right I have treated myself to this beautiful bunch of flowers which cost me the grand sum of 60p (the orange flowers which I think are some type of Lilly have been cut from my back garden).

They are lovely and for 60p I cant complain about the cost and they really brighten up the kitchen. Tomorrow I will be catching up on housework during the day and then in the evening we will be going over to Lee's for the night. I also hope to do my school uniform check and order what they will need new for September. I will let you all know how I get on with that and how much it ends up costing me. I have looked around for the best prices so I am armed and ready to go.

Much Love
