Been loading up on 50p bargains from Morrisons today. We bought the following

2 Packs of diced chicken fillets
2 Packs of 4 1/4lb beef burgers
2 Packs of 8 Sausages
1 Pack of 12 baps
1 Tub of Coleslaw
A lettuce
1 Pack of 4 Tomatoes

All for £5. BARGAIN!!!! Would have got more but they only allowed you to have two of each item! Only downside was the sausages only have 63% pork in wheras the ones we normally get have 93% but are 3 times more expensive!

Following on from aim one this month I thought I should explain the aim.

On Wednesday, we took Stuart and Alex to Blackpool Sea Life Centre as we had a voucher that meant it only cost £12.50 for all four of us to get in. We then spent all of about half an hour in there and were pretty none impressed.

Probably the best memory I had was of the tunnel where the sharks swim around you which when I was a young boy was fantastic. However now, the tunnel seemed much shorter and the sharks are not as impressive.

Perhaps it’s best not to revisit places you went to in your youth as they are never as good now as they were back then. We keep talking about going on holiday to Butlins with the kids. Might not be such a good idea……

It’s aim time

Aim One

Aim one is to find a tourist attraction I visited as a child that is every bit as good now as it was when I was younger

Aim Two

Aim two is to assist the people struggling to obtain an iPhone3G by going up to them and saying “I have one…. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

Aim Three

Aim three is to solve the issue of people waiting days for the police to respond to a 999 call in a similar way to solving the issue of NHS waiting lists….. by going private!

Aim Four

Aim four is to punish lazy council workers who can’t be bothered going into work for two days by forcing them to wait four weeks before someone comes to collect their rubbish

Aim Five

Aim five is to celebrate Labour’s success at the recent bi-elections by installing a countdown clock in 10 Downing St counting down to the end of the current term so Gordon Brown knows just how long he has to pack

It’s still summer too so perfect time for raw chicken legs and sausages that are burnt on the outside and bleeding on the inside. So lets see if Nostradamus has finally won the barbecue by getting two out of three of his predictions correct

Last months predictions were:

Some one will be removed from the big brother house for breaking the rules (again)….. and unfortunately not. People broke the rules but BB just chucked them up for eviction as a punishment and then one walked

No rain will fall in Preston this month….. and if Nosty had just missed the word “no” from that prediction he would have been right. As it stands though he was wrong…. very wrong!

Wimbledon will be won by a fish and we shall all eat chips with salt and vinegar in celebration…… and it’s a duck as it was won by a tennis player and they all ate strawberries and cream in celebration

So no Barbecue this month however here are next months predictions

Prediction One

Hull City will be on top of the Premiership at some point this month

Prediction Two

There will be a bomb scare at Downing St as Gordon Brown mistakes the timer counting down how long he has left before he needs to pack for a bomb timer

Prediction Three

The death of a sparrow will spark the beginning of world war 3
