    Sorry to hear about the kitten hun, thats really rubbish :o

    Just a thought on your budget, could you do packed lunches instead of school dinners? £40 a month could be reduced significantly with sandwiches etc? Ignore me if already mentioned ;):)
    I don't actually mind paying the school dinners to be honest as the food is really good and would be healthier (imho) that the packed lunches I'd make and I like her having a hot meal especially in winter. Rubbish aren't I?:rotfl:

    I'm such a lucky lady :D As I've been skint I've been totally spoilt by Ian this weekend. He took me out for dinner last night, bought me wine to have with a movie at home and then made me breakfast in bed this morning! Awww he's a goodun :):D

    I went to game yesterday and traded in a huge bunch of games for cash to try and ease the shortfall in my bills. I got rid of about 75% of my games collection and got £64 cash :) Typically I'd forgot to include Ash's school dinners so I'm now £15 short of my bills money. This is more bearable as I can just take it out of my March budget for this week as my bills money is saved from february so doesn't effect the money I start getting from tuesday when my child benefit goes in.

    With help from Ian I've also put 26 items on ebay, all dvds so far so hoping to get a bit of money from that to pay off the CC to make up the money I'll have to take from my budget this week to meet my bills. Fingers crossed!

    No but I've budgetted for £75 as her party is on the 21st and I've got to pay £4.90 for every child who turns up :eek: so that's based on about 15 kids coming.

    Have a lovely time at the cinema.. would definitely recommend The princess and the frog! It's fab!

    Also spotted a tv ad for musicmagpieco.uk earlier which is like envirofone but for cds/dvds and games. I had a big pile of really old cds just gathering dust upstairs so got a quote.. 17 cd albums got me £16.40 :D Genius! Literally money for nothing! :D

    I work with a woman who volunteers for Kats Cradle, I might have a word in her ear because it seems they've given you the complete run around, when with a cat already you have an obviously caring home.
