    Hello all. Well its madness in mummys house lol. DH is back to work today and ds is actually having a nap - which he doesnt seem to do tooo much off and just wants to feed and be cuddled all the time :) Still feeding him and have had a few problems but I think we are on the mend and it seems to be going ok at the mo......so fingers crossed it works as will save pennies on the formular :)

    Really want it to be paydayand we have no idea what DH will be paid as itss going to include paterity pay and I want to sort out the soa - we are also going away for the week so need spending money!! Have put in for DS to be added to the tax credits so fingers crossed that will go up a little and we might get it before the holiday to help a little......will see.

    Need to do a shop but cant face going round MrTs with 3/4 little ones.....will have to look into a online shop i think - but that tends to end up costing me more or not getting as good value for how much i spend....... Will have to rethink the shopping. Maybe it will be a weekend job when DH can look after some of the kiddies.

    Have sorted out loads of newborn/0-3 girls clothes incase baby was a girl so might try and sell them on ebay as they are all organised - but just hate selling tiny baby bits.........

    Starting to use the cloth nappies on DS aswell now so hopefully no more spending on nappies :) Have got some saved for holiday for all the kids as cant use washables then.

    Well better go and feed the baby before he starts screaming for more food :) Loving all my little baby cuddles....

    Hi Mummy, it sounds like things are going pretty well in your house with the new baby :D.

    Really hope DH's wage is a decent one for you plus it would be lovely for you to receive tax credits before you go away too :).

    Glad you found me rags :)
    Thanks for comments mummy and penny. We are going away on the 10th so in a few weeks - going to be madness with a 4 week old!! My dad comes aswell so will be fine im sure! Just the swimming pool etc will be madness with them all :p
    DHs work said he might get paid early tomorrow/thursday as his boss is away on holiday next week - which will be good as then ill know what his been paid and can budget for the mth. So now I hope payday is tomorrow!!

    Today ive been discharged from the midwife :) Yeah so less waiting around for them to come!! Ive already had a small spend - £1 for film club for dd and some milk from shop as had run out. Going to do a meal plan and a list at some point today and try and get some shopping ordered - if i get a min from feeding DS :DTrying to think of nice healthy snacks which are good when feeding?? What healthy as at the moe biscuits and chocolate is not really the healthy option:p So any ideas are very welcome.........

    Ive got tha washing out on the line drying as its a nice windy day and going to try and do a second load.......
    Hope everyone is having a nice day. x

    Hi Mummy, glad your doing well.

    Do you like rice cakes as a snack? I really like snackajacks especially the chocolate ones. Or you could have plain topped with cottage cheese as a savoury option?

    Theres always good old fruit! Ive just had a very juicy satsuma!!
