    Thanks Penny. DD is nearly better but ds is still very sleepy and just wakes for a min crys and then sleeps again :( Bless him.

    I had to take ds to the drs today just to check his ok. Also was naughty again and had a KFC :o
    Washing machine came up with some error and wouldnt let the water out :mad: but I think DH has fixed it - fingers crossed as ive got loads to do - could really do with a tumble dryer........

    Hello. Today has been a small spend day - Had to get some milk and ham to keep us going - think I might be able to get away without going for a big shop till payday :)

    Forgot that DH is going to the graund pre next mth so he will need money for that - camping for 4 days.... so have rejigged the budget to include that. His brother is taking double what we can afford dh to take so hope he doesnt run out.......

    Feeding ds at the mo so hope he crashes soon as the kitchen is mayhem and needs sorting!!
