I last went to the show a couple of years ago....I think it was 6 yrs actually!
We used to go quite regulary but in the past couple of years we just couldn't find the money to go. As Mel said $300 is quite easy to spend. $75 for a family , but because I have 6 kids I would have to get either Mum or my Aunts to come as well so that would be $150 plus train tickets to come down to Melb. $112, then come the dreaded showbags...$48 for a showbag each, food $100....that's $410 so far!!!!!!!!
Hopefully next year we might be in a better situation about going, so lets see!
DH's job is going well...he gets $18 an hour (weekdays) and $23 an hour (weekends), so thats a bit of extra money that we could do with. He is on a 3 month trial to see if his back holds out, but even though he is sore of a night, he loves it.
My Launch Party for PASH is on the 12th of October and atm I might have my neighbours coming...sad I know but I can only hope more people come.
Better go and see to these kids.
