Thank you, I had one with DD in 2005. I recovered quicker than I did after DS so called 'normal' birth in 2003.
Def not spending that kind of money this month. I'm setting myself a limit of £120 (school holidays and a very hungry child so it's more than it'll be when she goes back to school!) and I have to stick to it! I've started grocery challanges before but never stuck to it but I've never added up how much money I've wasted before!!
This is the new money saving me!!!!!

Just a quick update before I go to bed - would have been another NSD today but hubby 'forgot' :mad: to put dinner on for when I got in as he was having his computer fixed and as I had a committee meeting at 8pm, I had to grab some chips to eat, then out the door again for my club meeting - total spend £4.85 for both of us...:mad: .
I've been back about 1 hour - grabbed a cuppa, sat down, watched NCIS and quick check on here to try to catch up and unwind before bed - then up and at it again tomorrow - luckily I am LOVING this job so it really is worth it.
Spag Bol tomorrow - OR I'LL SHOOT HIM! hehe :rotfl: , - Bless him, he wants to feel useful and I know he's down at the mo because of work, so I can't nagg too much (yet, anyway...:D ), but I was really looking forward to coming home to dinner cooked for me tonight too, still, there's always tomorrow... Will be a NSD tomorrow as nothing to get - lunch brought for me at work so should all be good.
Have a great day everyone - will try to catch up tomorrow as more time then, Den x
EDIT: Still not updated all spends at the mo, receipts sitting in my tin ready to be put on - will do asap...
I'mjust generally an all shiny newbie but I thought I'd jump right in the deep end. (If I'm doing things wrong let me know!)
Right I set my Shopping Budget at £200 Per month.
Can anyone tell me if this includes things bought out like sandwiches etc...
Currently:
August Reductions:
Made these tonight. Cut the dough in half and made iced buns as normal. Rolled out the rest and spread with butter, sugar and cinnamon. Put raisins on one half (DD likes cinnamon swirls but not Danish with raisins), then rolled cut and baked as above.
Icing on them and ready to eat! Result three different types of bun from the one batch of dough.
I have just noticed I posted on July by mistake.
But I have not been on much as been so busy but can I go for
50 pound a week again please
