Didn't end up going out yesterday! I'd got a voucher for carvery (and they have a cashback offer) but the DCs didn't actually want to go. So we stayed home and made a cake instead (just a ready made mix but I added 100% peanut butter to it). Much more frugal.
Tomorrow we're going to London to see a kids' show of Midsummer (part of Shakespeare festival thingy) but we're going from my mum's so that'll be cheaper as she lives in zone 5.
Booked a few nights in Haven later this year as DH is doing a run down in Hastings. Was a similar price to Travelodge but it's got a pool etc. Trying to plan what else we'll do down there. DD is desperate to go to an aquarium and they accept clubcard tokens, but there's also Battle Abbey, the castle and the Smugglers thing (but I think the latter might be too scary for DS). Will be finding out a bit about 1066 before we go. :)
Hoping to get DD's old bike fixed today so DS can use it. This was the reason we cleared the cupboard out - so there's more room to store it. DD's current bike, which was a hand me down from a friend, needs fixing as well, although the amount that needs doing may mean it's cheaper to get a new one. If she does need a new one I'm hoping my parents will agree to it as her Christmas present (they generally prefer me choosing something for them to get so should be ok). We are thinking BMX though as what she really loves is going over ramps, dirt tracks etc... where does one buy a BMX?!
