    Ooooooooooooops oh well we have a small garden but it has a whole patch of about 5metres long to itself and there are only 3 plants so i figure they will be ok?
    There was a supersaver which was some of each but I just had the 2 bedford giants with 1 free.

    Serves burgalars right, hooray!

    I have paid off £333.07 this month. So far I have only made just over Minimum payments as its probably going to be a tight month, hopefully I will be able to pay more off later in the month.

    So I now owe:
    MBNA - £4463
    Mothercare - £660
    Next - £130
    Tesco - £2140
    Mum - £800
    EGG - £5067


    = £13,260noway.gif

    So far this year I have paid off £1159.61 fireworks.gif(Dont get too excited as interest isnt included as im not that clever!)


    I have spent £18.62 of my £100 crazy clothes challenge money so have a balance of £81.38 left to use.


    Your going absolutely brilliantly. thats an amazing figure, considering everything your paying etc.

    Didn't do the £100 challenge, as blown that by Feb...... needed new clothes, did get bargains but still blew over £100 - hangs head in shame x

    Whizzing in to wave hello to you all and let you know our house is in chaos.

    Pip has gastroentiritis (SP?) and 3 :eek: teeth coming through :(.

    Washing machine doesnt know whats hit it, Ive had to use over a tenners worth of electric in 2 days!

    Took him to GP today and she gave him some electrolyte stuff and said just have to ride it out. Its madness, it came on so suddenly. We went out last night with friends visiting from Newcastle. He was fine, playing with their little boy, got home at 8.30 and put Pip to bed fine but after about half hour he had throw up 3 times. Hope he is better tomorrow.

    On a plus OH got given a new job yesterday :T. He went for an interview, set off for home and got to the street next to ours when his mobile rang saying can you turn your car round we want a 2nd interview! Gave him it there and then! More money but also a fair bit more petrol so over all I think we will be up.

    Right off I go again............hope your all ok.

    TTFN x x

    Gastro bug is awful DS6 had it last week and was very poorly and DD4 had it when she was 6 months and had to spend 10 days in hospital!! So watch him carefully, most valuable piece of advise ever given to me was to offer flat coke to drink, when my eldest was 4 she had it and the doc recommended it and it worked miracles - although my dad got funny looks from people when he was deliberately shaking cans of coke to give her but it really worked.

    Massive congratulations on hubbys new job, blah to the petrol!!

    Hope Pip goes on ok, theres gastro bug going round, we've had mum in bed for 3 days with it, she ended up having to have the doc out to give her an anti-sickness jab, since her stroke last yr she has to be careful of anything.

    Got dd saying she feels sick, thou she was sick as a dog last weekend, she said 2day when they were getting ready for PE, one of the boys threw up in the middle of the corridoor!!

    I've just come down with dodgy tum.... sods law!!

    Def agree re the flat coke, tastes lot better than the rehydration sachets you get from GP.

    You take care, big hug for pip xx

    tired-sleeping-smiley-4635.gif Tired Pips Mum!

    Pip still really poorly, washing machine still in overload.

    Tried flat coke and he looked at me in disgust, sipped it and pushed it away apparently he would prefer Blackcurrant Dioralyte, strange child!!
