BBQ On A Budget

Hello readers I have had a wonderful day today. I wanted to do something special for the boys to recognise all their hard efforts at school this year and Brads exams. I decided to do a BBQ as the boys love barbeques and I still hadn't road tested mine since I cleaned it all up and replaced the new part (saving myself £90 on a new one). It was very cheap but oh so very cheerful. This is the price run down.......

A tiny paddling pool £1 from poundland
A fishing game £1 from poundland
A hula hoop £1 from poundland
9 Packs of bubbles £1 from poundland

A bottle of cola 45p
10 Bread rolls 10p (yellow sticker)
10 Finger rolls 10p (yellow sticker)
10 Value sausages 75p
10 Value burgers £1.38
10 Value cheese slices 64p
5 Choc and nut ice cream cones £1.25

Total cost for entertainment, lots of food, and yummy ice cream for pudding £8.67 for the 5 of us.

And here are the pictures of our celebrations.....
