Oooo exciting! All this talk of Bizziebabies has prompted the courier to arrive at the door with my Pink lining changing bag!
It is fabby and well worth the £75 I never paid! Makes my SX bag look like a Farmfoods carrier

That's horrible news Nicki, and a lesson for us all - save your photos off to the computer regularly, and even consider backing-up to a tinternet site (such as Google's Picasa), so you don't lose vital memories.

I was so paranoid about losing photos that I used to back up onto CD/memory stick every time I uploaded to the computer when Alice was first born.

weezl i can feed 7 of us for £150 a fortnight and think that i do well, meat from the butchers veg from the local shop and the rest between asda/morrisons and farmfoods

I think you do very well caz:)

this project is aiming at 80p a day per person (for people who are really struggling financially) and yours is only £1.53 per day per person which is absolutely:money::money::money::money:tastic!

Tigs, I've seen burst vessels from coughing before but not crying, I'm sure its ok

Weezl - I don't think I could ever follow your plans my OH would waste away! We couldn't do without fruit though, we go through about 6-8L of fresh fruit juice a week and OH & Chris are happier eating fruit than veg

i emailed bzzie baby a few days ago as i have only recieved the feeding bra and nothing since, i just wanted to check my address was up to date and see if anything was coming but no joy

it's reassuring to meet a man with a higher calorie need than my DH! He's on 4000 a day and still slim.

(All the BWSC now hate my DH :rotfl:)

How do you do it sami?

This was the first thing I'd had since joining in Oct. I contacted them through the website to see if they'd forgotten me and they phoned and then gave me this bag.
I'd chase them up again, nothing ventured nothing gained and all that!

i would still like some of your frugal recipies to try! i could get the shopping down more but i do buy a few snacks/fizzy juice and a bung it in the oven meal now and again lol! but we have a fab farm nearby and i can get a huge sack of potatoes, carrier bag of carrots, carrier bag of leeks, bag of red and white onions, 5 turnips 1/3 bag of parsnips other veg depending on what he has and a jar or 2 of homemade jam(nomnom!) for around £12 so i think this really helps!

cazscoob

thanks CSH i thought that i was the only one lol! my sister signed up with another one after me and she has had loads to test, i think i may have to find out and sign up too! maybe even sign up MIL and see what she gets lol!

Wezl - have you ever looked at hunting for meat/fish? initial investment would be high I suppose :undecided
I'm just thinking about my mum; when she lived in a rough bit of liverpool and was pg with my sister she was told they'd never seen a patient with such a good blood count in that area. She puts it down to all the game she ate that dad got.

I keep pushing Dad to get a crayfish licence but he's not took the leap yet (how rude )
