    Can I re-join the GC thread please?? Things were sort of thrown by the wayside when I got flung in hospital with pre eclampsia and take aways/ snack bars became OH's meals of choice. Still I am back to 100% now and have a lovely 2 week old daughter.

    I will be aiming for £250 this month for 2 adults 1 toddler and an infant. This is to cover everything including nappies and formula. Little pixie is still too small for the real nappies we have so we are on disposables.

    Well today was not an NSD afterall, spent £1.22 (39p on a drink and 83p on washing soda). Not too bad though.
    Birthday was not great- spent the day waiting for the post with my parcels but no post came (think its due to the horrible mist here!). Still FIL gave me a new bag (he lives up the road from here) so thats something and DH still wants to get me something or take me out maybe tomorrow.
    :wave:

    Still not done any baking so might leave it until tomorrow, off to watch the dispatches prog on c4 about sandwiches :o .
    ** edited to say he got his last feed on the morning of 29/7/8
