    Hi all
    Huge Mr T shop has arrived so sig updated- hadn't managed to change order so just sent some stuff back with nice delivery driver!

    Angelnikki thanks for your reply, spoke to a friend who shops with Mr T frequently and she said same as you no problems- this freezing thing happens to me all the time so think it must be something peculiar to me! Next time it happens will phone customer services and see what they can do!

    Still need to buy:
    beer
    milk
    cereal
    meat
    pittas

    for trip- oh and bake a cake too, pack, collect portable black out blind (I want to sleep till 6am if poss ) do fundraising event at school, clean and tidy house (in case of unexpected viewings whilst away) stressed me? Possibly!!

    Thank you very much angelnikki I shall make a batch tomorrow. :D

    My maternity leave ends on Monday :eek: , although my School breaks up for Summer on Tuesday :j

    After the Summer, my childcare costs will increase by £300 a month. But thanks to some minor budget rejigging and this challenge, DH & I won't have to pay any more into the joint account.

    Thanks Guys, keep passing those tips on. :T :T :T
    Thanks to all the lovely people on here I have managed to cut my hours down to 2 days a week, allowing me to spend more time with my gorgeous Children. :j

    Did a massive shop this week in Asda which came to £162.65 but that should last us a good while (in theory). Have had to make a list of everything in my fridge and their use by dates to avoid any waste as I always forget whats in there!

    Total so far is = £351.80
