Hi Everyone

Gosh that sounds awful Glam (((hugs)))

Im also sitting stuffed to the gills, Made a lovely pork roast and surprised myself with some new learned culinary skills picked up from you tube this afternoon :rotfl: For the first time ever I made roast potatoes the way they are meant to be cooked (no hard bits in the middle)

Altogether the whole meal cost less than £4. Am I mad to really enjoy finding the yellow stickered items in my local sainsbury :money: and then deciding whats for dinner. Its not even because money is tight, I just really enjoy getting a bargain.

We have a new sainsburys just built and its practically empty every day. Around 11am, they reduce everything with the next day date up to 90% off, and I cant stay away. My freezer is packed with lots of things I have never even tasted

I ahve to say that my inlaws are great.
Astons dad's Mum who I actually call Mum is a diamond, I wish she didnt live so far away, but I always call her on birthdays, xmas, mothers day etc, and we always exchange cards and gifts, she even sent me down a parcel of baby things for Ryry.

Dan's parents are great, they asked me to take Ryan round there tommrrow so I can have a break, and they are looking after him next friday when I go on a course and said they will have him while I sort out the nursery, plus I know if I needed anything they would be there for me, so nice.

The annoying thing is they are really nice and spend a fortune on everyone but are just so Grrrrrrr!
me and FIL always seem to clash cos he says stupid things that wind me up and I can't just not say anything! Feel like I'm walking on eggshells when they are here - think the best example was when FIL said
'If I won the lottery I'd be a huge mansion we could all live in' - I said 'Oh, I don't think so' :rotfl: Oops!

Just listening to Tim Minchin on Youtube will I [STRIKE]cook[/STRIKE] decide what to cook - he's so funny!
