I think she had a boy, but dont quote me on it
Well done Shopaholic and Lilly :j Great news!
I have filled out and submitted 5 applications online so far, will do my final job search later once most businesses have closed and stopped updating. Found a few to ring up about, will do that tomorrow. I am so sick of this now, I just cant afford to live, I had some money saved and almost all of that has gone as I am having to live on it, trouble is, will need that money in the next 2 months and no way of putting it back
And as much as I hate ebay, I think Im going to have to go round with a basket and get listing :rolleyes:
I would buy some sparkly socks but I cant afford it, just got boring black ones :rotfl:0 -

You could do a pasta sauce to freeze, should get a few meals out of a batch to freeze, you could do a chilli and eat one, freeze three, pretty much any meal will be ok in the freezer. I keep on at my mum about this as she is on her own, but instead she just gets ready meals and puts veg with it. Have an experiment, it could work well and you might only need to do a shop once a month once its tweaked
