Holidays - where are we all going on a budget ?

[Lisa2009]

Awww, i went upstairs earlier to change the little boys film and he told me he has packed his holiday bag.
Its a backpack and in one of the side pockets hes put his dummies (which he has to have for bed) and in the other side hes got his Pokemon cards. Inside it hes put his swimming shorts.

That's really sweet. He is in his own mind sorted. Shorts for swimming, Cards to play with and dummies to keep him all secure - SORTED! [:D]

Mrs Skint, I used to collect pokemon cards, got them all displayed in a gorgeous plastic folder, I loved them to bits. I used to carry them everywhere in case I met someone I could swap with. (I'm 37!) X

Hes only got about ten of them. My other son and his friends let him have the ones they have double of. They go everywhere with him, even to the toilet.
Its really sweet, hes thought of the things he wants the most to take with him and hes now fast asleep in bed and the backpack is in there with him.
All he needs now is a huge supply of chicken nuggets and he will be sorted.

Viki, older son has hundreds of them cards. He keeps them in a shiny gold lockable Pokemon tin.
He sits in the garden for hours with his little friends comparing and swapping cards.

I paid my nephew's mate £25 for one card! [:0]

[Lisa2009]

OMG Viki. Before he found Pokemon cards it was Yugioh cards, he was obsessed with them. We went on holiday to Tunisia and he even took them to the pool with him and sat playing with them. He had a stack of them as big as the dog LOL

I didn't even watch it on tv, my nephews got me into the cards and I thought they were amazing. I couldn't play the game! Just liked looking at my cards......am I nuts?[:o)] X

[Lisa2009]

Errrrr.........yes!!!!
I bet you have even in the past scoured ebay for them too? LOL

[Viki.W]

I only discovered ebay four years ago and the crazy card phase was about 8 years ago so unfortunately I missed that opportunity![:D] How are you feeling tonight? X

[Lisa2009]

Im much better now thanks apart from the usual.
Gum seems to be healing nicely, i did think it was infected first because it was so painful. It felt like i had been beaten round the head and ear with a baseball bat.
Only needed to take 2 nurofen all day.

Im really glad you got through the last few days Vik. Cant believe how positive and bubbly you have been through it all.
I really hope you find your dream job and do well xxxxxxx

[Viki.W]

Ah thanks, I'm a mess really! Wow, nurofen profits will be down from now on! Glad your pain is going, also glad you're still staying up late! X
