    That's great especially as those few hours make such a difference to your MF dream and in effect you are still a SAHM.

    Thanks everyone, once I get started May 7th I'll update SOA and see how we are getting on.

    Would be doing A LOT better if we hadn't decided to spend this years OPs on the garden.

    Although we do have to live here, in the interim of being MF so have to be happy:D

    was having a think today and I now haven't used my tumble dryer for 4 months, I was using it for 9 hours a week before so that's great.

    Last week's shopping £34. This weeks £66, including a months toilet rolls and nappies.

    Got the stuff to do foccacia bread and sea salt and something bread. Also choc muffins, job for this weekend.

    Also did my first bulk cooking last week, spag bol, still prefer to cook all meals, not save and freeze, but accept it was easier so will make more.

    Having an expensive week relatively - re painting the whole inside of the house.

    I like cream/white/magnolia. It was done three years ago, but with two toddlers needs freshening up. So far done lounge, Kitchen / diner.

    Bathroom / master bedroom to do.

    Did the girlies bedrooms last October, don't want to lose the pink just yet - so they can stay:rotfl:

    Feeling a bit fed up, one of my kids got hold of my laptop and dragged it onto the floor so the charger port is broken (going to cost 80 to replace - worth it as it works fine apart from that)

    Tenants haven't paid their rent, was due on the 1st so may have to cancel having the garden done.

    been to scarborough for the day - 200 mile round trip and it rained :rotfl:

    Baked some sea salt and rosemary bread for tea.

    Some naan breads for snacks.

    Really annoyed with OH, no rent from tenants means we need to find 700 for the mortgage - so he goes out and buys a ps3:mad:

    I hope they pay soon, what's there excuse for not paying? I can't understand it..you'd want to pay it wouldn't you instead of having it hanging over your head.

    I can't be bothered updating this anymore
