    breakfast has been devoured,and dustbin dumped in the most awkward place i could fined ...just for the next door but one neighbour..
    she puts her bins outside my house on the Street ,,makes it very hard to reverse the car out of the drive way... also she stole my green bin:mad::mad: two months ago the bins got crossed over,the one here was a bit grotty,,,so i said we would swop over next time..
    that time the mc crushed her lid,,so i said id keep it,,,about a month ago they came round with our new black bin and i asked the man for a new green bin,,,two weeks later i couldn't get out to get the bins in, as heavy rain and baby was sick or playing up...got up the next morning to find both the new bins gone and two grotty ones left,,,check the street when i got back from the school run,,,,theirs my two new bins with big number stickers on ,,,,hers!!!!
    cought her later in the week and said she only has to ring the council if she wants new bins ,,,you dont have to steal someone elses!!!!
    ive always had these bins,,,,they only look new because i look after them ,,,was the reply........:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
    that's the dustbin rant over:o

    and the drive way looks lovely:j:j filled the big triangular gap with little white stones i found in the shed:D

    at the end of the day no,,,but do do hand and knees through the day

    im going to attend a fitness unit in the local hospital ,and see a specialist to see what can be done,(September),the problem their is the knee is not strong enough to take it!!
    hopefully they can come up with some house type exercises ,using chairs,stairs and build up from their

    but of cause all this has to done around the kids which adds to the fun

    get the kids to join in with the chair-obics! keep them fit, tire them out, hey presto kids sleep and Shaun chill out time!

    Your grocery bill seems high to me shaun, I average out at £75 a week for everything, cleaning (yeah right), food, toiletries, for 5 of us plus a cat. Some weeks it is over £100 but then other weeks it is about £40 so averages out quite well.

    But of course that doesn't allow for prices being different between here and Ireland, so it may be a really poor comparison.

    IT VERY HARD TO COMPARE BETWEEN COUNTRIES,,,
    theres a few irish folk on the os board so i might post their,,,
    also as ive only just started recording the spend it is hard to say how long this food will last,,,
    and baby will cost less for a few weeks as we have him off baby puddings,,,,
    so jar baby food is for days out and emergencies...
    hes also coming off baby milk...but that will exchange for more fresh milk..

    taxi or bob....gone brain dead!!!!(yes i know!!)
    gave me a linc to tesco uk so must put my list on that and see the difference,,,,

    Shaun - if you log on to moneysupermarket.com you can do your shopping list on there and it will compare trolley prices (the goods in them that is, not the trolley itself!) between Tesco, Asda,Sainsburys and I think Morrisons or Waitrose? Not sure which, long time since I last looked at the site.
