Hoorah for free books! We love our RSPB bird book, it's falling apart from overuse though. :o Haven't managed a very good photo but this is our favourite visitor, a woodpecker! :) Just remembered I still need to decide if we are going to join RSPB using clubcard points. Will see what we have left after the holiday though.
We've decided to go abroad next year. When we've added up all the costs for four nights in the UK it's actually a ridiculously big spend - I am really really excited about this trip of course, but looking at the figures it's really not that different to pay for flights! My parents have a holiday club thing and they never use all their points, and really want us to use some, so accommodation would be free. We're thinking Malta as it is apparently easy without a car. :)
Went to Lidl today - if you can believe it, it was my first time there! Got a few bits, was tagging along with my parents as they needed some groceries, but mum refused to let me pay her back. So got a few bits for free, and the DCs ended up with a carnivorous plant growing kit 
:o
Busy day tomorrow - dropping DCs off at the council adventure playground thing - they do childcare but also have 'open access' for free. DSD is working there tomorrow so she suggested it :) while they're there, I'll be going to work for my leaving lunch. I am really happy they've arranged it, as I wasn't expecting it. I am prepared to cry :o but it'll be lovely to see my friends there. And at least I have positive news to tell them about my other (self) employment options. :)
