    Good a break does us all good I think from time to time. I have realised that I could probably make just as much money by saving money, so have done a meal plan etc to see how that works out. Less stress.

    Well friday is the day i do my weekly shop usually £40 ish this week i asked my mum to pick me up some leeks to make soup and borrowed a bin bag off my sister today so i didn't to the weekly shop and i am not going to we have so much food and loads of tolietries i just don;t need to go and spend more money when we have so much! That has saved me £40! I will plan meals for mon tues and weds when i have an extra kid!

    I was thinking home made pizza monday as that will occupy them making it and them jackets tuesday and something and chips weds!?

    I thought about it when I looked in my freezer and saw three bags of frozen chicken breasts and two packs of mince. I usually buy one of each per week so that's a couple of weeks of not using it. I slow cooked yesterday and today so we didn;t get a takeaway tonight which we normally do, so result there.
