Hi Shaun,

Your bill doesn't look too bad, don't forget the baby milk won't be forever so when DS gets a bit older you'll save on that.

I don't envy you with your family visits, my mum's coming down for a week in September and as much as I love her and she is a sweetie as she throws us out the house and gives us money to go too, I find I can't relax with her about. Thankfully she's not staying here!

Tea

My inlaws live close and they dont have the footie so its always can we come round so and so's on TV. I dont mind soemtimes but if it falls over tea time I feel I have to cook big meal, other times he says to leave a key and he will let himself out if we are out - but they do have DS in school hols and if poorly so then I feel guilty

Never ending cycle!

Shaun - I still cant get my head round the prices but hopefully you will.

Really need more tea but not agreeing with me today so will snooze at my desk instead :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

hi both
the nice thing in life is that you can, choose your friends!!!!:cool:
unfortunately you cant choose your family:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

this is week four of keeping my list,,
i will do a stock take to see whats left
it will also then guide me for next month and should cut down the food bill again...
ie,,,brought 6 tins of beans 2 left so using 4 a month now i only need two this month,,
will print out a stock form for the monthly shop to work from...
then at the end of each month save whats left of the €600 budget,,,,im hoping this will be €200 to cover the short fall in income and go to the rent money
catch you later

Feel like a pair of used pants Shaun, but getting there. It will definately be worth the work on it and maybe see how it goes over the next couple of months then you can average out your savings.
I really feel like sending you some coffee-those prices are bloomin outrageous!

I quite like Aldis columbian coffee-£1.60 for a jar, never had Lidls stuff and i like gold blend. They generally sell the nescafe normal one for about £1.50 in cheapy shops here.
