    Hi everyone:j

    Welcome all newbies

    Happy Birthday NOAH,hope you have a great time at the beach.

    Im definately back in again this week after a week of slacking on the housework front,OH back to work today but off again tomorrow.

    I am not happy as we need a new car which means using the money I had saved towards a holiday next year:confused::confused:,so looks as though that is off now,I suppose needs must.

    Managed to get dresses for myself and DD1 and DD2 at Meadowhall last week,just have DS1 and DS3 to sort out now.

    DD2 has a college interview to enrol tomorrow at 11 am so will take DS1 with me and call into Valliland after college to get him new school shoes and hopefully the wedding clothes.

    Need to take stock of money situation too as my gas bill has arrived and is a whopping £260:eek::eek:

    Looks like lots of meals from the freezer for us,Shepherds pie tonight.

    Off to find my list,have done most of the kitchen this morning as a serious case of CBA hit last night

    Also several loads of washing to do and the ironing to attack

    Love to all
    Feeding 6 Adults 1 Teen a 8 year old with hollow legs and a very fussy 5 year old. Also 3 cats and 3 fishies
    To include all Food,Toiletries and Petfood.
