Thank you all! The kids are soooo excited! Im a little worried im going to be knackard and trying to fit in all the feeding DS is going to be hard work. My dad comes with us (he pays so we can all go otherwise we wouldnt be going so he is great ) Which helps as otherwise the swimming pool etc will be a nightmare with so many little ones and with DS not being very big so wont be in the pool for long etc......

DH was paid yesterday so have sorted out the SOA and all looks fine Which im glad about as was worried I hadnt saved enough! But looks fine now.
YEsterday had to put £50 in car as no petrol Also spent £30 in Home Bargains (included present for party today) and £25 in Iceland so got all the bits which are cheaper in HB and then got loads of fruit etc from iceland for snacks as the girls are going through fruit like thre is no tomorrow - but cant moan as its healthy....

Today will be a NSD, DD is going to a party, me and the other kiddies are going to the park and then dd2 will go swimming later (and dd1 if she is back in time)

Hi mummy, how are you? This is the first time ive popped on here for ages. Hows the little fella doing, my little one is 8 weeks now x

Little one is doing well! Have the HV coming later to weight and check he is putting weight on! Im sure he is fine Little monkey is always eating so he must have put some on He also doesnt like to sleep though Which is getting hard as im soooo tired. I think its just he is awake not hungry or anything just awake and he only likes to be held when awake so crys if I put him down at night....... Going to be fun being a zombie on holiday next week when the girls will want to be running round mad all the time lol

Money wise everything looks good Not as tight and horrible as i thought it would be

Today is a NSD but tomorrow I have to get a few last min bits for the holiday and also want to get DS1s hair cut at some point......

Have just done meter reading online and the latest bill was estimated and they said we was £10 in debtit and now its saying we are £15 in credit So im glad about that - also glad ive set up the password etc as now ill try and keep putting meter readings in.....

Hi Mummy, I thought you had already been away last week!!

Hope little one starts sleeping through soon. It seems a breeze for first few weeks doesnt it when your running on adrenaline. Then 4 ish weeks in you start to feel it a bit!

Yay to being £15 in credit on the electric :j

mummy2mygirls

lol no i just must have been going on for to long Ive tried to be organised but its just not happened We go on friday.
DS is 4 weeks now and i think your right about the adrenaline etc.... he will get better one day

mummytogirls

Awwww bless him, my friends this same I think her DS is 5 weeks now and its starting to take its toll a bit. Plus youve got the others to run around after too.

Take it easy! xx

Well we are back Had a nice time but DD3 got a really bad sickness bug and was very poorly - then DS1 got it DD is nearly better but DS is still really poorly
The Older Girls loved it!! Had loads of fun and DD1 was in floods of tears all the way home - bless her. We didnt spend as much as i thought we would (mainly because we didnt do as much because of the bug) So we came home with a little money Means I can get some food in before the tax credits get paid on tuesday and also can pay for dd2s pre school fees - they are very late as i fotgot opps. Will then see what we have left and will try put it towards the ccs.

Going to try and put on here more spending so that I can keep track better (and might make me think twice if buying something we dont need - was bad and brought myself a new changing bag when on holiday:o)

Also going to start trying to lose some baby weight Will take it slow as Im still feeding DS and need loads of energy running round after my lot!!

So today was a spend day - dd had a bday party So spent £8 in the shop on card and wrapping paper (didnt get some from cheap card shop as forgot with the holiday), dads farthers day card and some food bits.......
