I think I lost a post. I was asked which show the DC were in? It was War of the Worlds which closed on Saturday. They will really miss it, but I will appreciate having a bit more time, will try to use it constructively.
Spends this week, can't remember everything! Thursday I had a night out with some of the other Chaperones. We went to a cabaret performed by the cast of the show, ticket was £22, raffle tickets £5 and, feeling ultra generous, I paid the drinks bill for all 5 of us. We were in the Hippodrome Casino, but since the drinks ran to a bottle of fizzy water and 2 Diet cokes, it was less than £13 (I did see the bill before paying it quickly!). Managed to win a signed programme in the raffle.
Friday was the kids last night at the theatre, we had planned to all go out for tea before the show, but got an early call time so tea out was postponed. Quick foray into M&S £65, that was lots of reduced meat and ham, some veg, ready meals for tea etc. Had to pay congestion charge as call time was early, £14 as it was after midnight by the time we were home and I managed to log into the account. £4.05 parking in London just to cover until 6.30 when it becomes free. Had a coffee, and the kids had a cake and a hot chocolate, but the dancing teacher treated us. She doesn't drive in London (she is 87) and likes to treat you to show she appreciates being picked up and driven into town.
Saturday was a lot of mad running around, trying to catch up. Took back DD1's suitcase that a zip broke on, they didn't gave any more the same, so got a refund £36 and will go back to the other branch to try to get the same one.
£23 in the pound shop. A bunch of snacks, some cotton buds and a few bits for DD1, including three little bracelet and ring sets instead of party bags.
