Anyone doing anything interesting this weekend (I'm looking for inspiration really) - aside from the normal midnight BBQ on the beach of course.

Nothing really exciting this weekend for me, pub tonight (must get my thongs on - lol, just joking) and fishing - take a drive through coochin creek way - if you haven't been there yet.

Cheers

Thanks for that, I was thinking about going to the markets, they hold a big one on Sundays opposite Brisbane Markets, Oxley way. Didn't realise fruit and veg was so much much cheaper, also can't believe I paid $3 recently for an Iceberg lettuce. I remember in the UK these varied from 42p to about a pound, depending on the weather and supply I guess, but here always $3.

A tip - if your going to buy your vegies at the markets, buy them before closing time, at the end of the market. The cucumbers I bought were originally $1 for one (my local Coles sells them for around $2.85), but I paid $1 for 3 at the end of the day, potatoes were small ones but 50 c a kilo - who's complaing at that price. . But neverless the vegies in the Sunday markets are a lot cheaper than Coles or Woolworths - the lettuces used to be around $1.50 in Coles - but for some reason they have gone up to almost $3 now - they went up during the drought, and they haven't come back down, I find the supermarkets are ripping people off big time.

taking daughter to her horse riding lesson Saturday morning then making easter cards with the kids for the family back in England, bit late I know but this is the first free afternoon we have to do them! Saturday night we are going to see Mamma Mia in Sydney with some friends. Sunday, not sure yet, probably go and doss in the park or go for a drive or something.
