Dinner & the Movies - Day 4

Sunday - ahhh lazy Sunday's although NOT today! Today was a busy day!  I got a sleep in today which was nice and so already had a late start to the morning so then organised the house chore roster and spent the majority of the time walking up and down the house putting little things away.  Probably not the best use of my time but I'm finding these days when I just box stuff to 'go to another room' it stays in the box so this way if I physically go and put it away then it's done!

Some of the house chores got done today - other's didn't but that's ok because the children 'see' their pocket money on the fridge and that they dont' get it until they have 'earnt' it ... I think there are about to be some hard lesson's in the house!!!  I really enjoyed a conversation I had today with a girlfriend about her house runs and what chores the children do and how money is given etc and my daughter was standing right there at the time and I hope that she's taken note that her life isn't 'quite as hard'!

The best part about today though is that I got to go to the movies with said girlfriend and her daughter.  I won (yeah cause this is me I'm talking about frugal queen tee hee) tickets to go see Pitch Perfect - it was sooo funny.  And because I'm always thinking ahead last time we went to Cafe Primo for dinner I bought two movie money tickets at $12 each (beats paying $18 at the cinema) yes there are a few restrictions with using the tickets but I don't mind, it's not always easy trying to go to a movie on a saturday night when you have children these days!  

So as I promised my friends if I won tickets we would split the cost into 4's so it worked out to be only $6.50 for each of us to go to the movies!  We were happy with that.  Then like all good movie goers (or bad ones as I'm sure the cinema would expect you to give them all your movie) we bought drinks else where.  We DID go down to Hungry Jacks as they had a special of Frozen coke for only $1 but obviously they killed the machine with kindness and so it was no longer working... so rather than pay $5.50 for the same thing at the cinema I bolted down to the food court (racing my daughter tee hee) to go and get the same product from there. Saving $1.50!  Yeah I know it's crazy but we had time and pre calories to burn in a fast 5 minute walk!!

Dinner was lovely at Cafe Primo again (best meal in town for price) and we were joined by my hubby and son and also my gf's hubby and son so it was so nice.  The meals are so big for the price so we only got two mains and shared them.  Then we got even more lucky because after every main meal you get a FREE pancake per meal you have purchased now I expected to only receive two which I would have shared with my daughter but they brought us 4 so that was nice and also I ordered two children's drinks but because we ordered a main meal they seemed to only charge us $1 each so that was great.  So a total of only $40.60 for the 4 of us - hubby's beer was $6.80 for a scooner - a bit excessive I thought but I don't drink so I have no idea about prices!

Home now and feeling well rested for another busy day of cleaning tomorrow and hopefully eBay listing if I can get my act together!!!!  xoxo
