    RE - lemonade & sweets - you do right to treat yourself - I have def realised this is needed especially to keep you going/motivated whilst you are tackling debt:D
    You are doing really well on the NSD - I really need to attempt more - but it's so hard with the kids always needing/wanting something.
    Glad you had a nice weekend!

    The NSDs are not easy are they!! I find we often need just the odd thing which ruins the NSD or have to pay the school for one thing or another.

    I have got £5 in the paypal from mysurveys :) But its gone already lol. I ordered some of the dribble bibs with fleece on the back for ds2 as he is alway soaking wet and hate the plastic backed ones as bring him out in a rash!! Also used my ebay perks voucher which was £1.54 :) So im off the mark on the make £5 a day challenge......just have a long way to go!!

    DH is home in the morning :D Ive missed him :o bless :) He says he has £20 left but he was in a bar when he said it so no doubt he wont tomorrow :p But im glad as had a feeling he might have borrowed more from his dad! So his been good.

    I have a very spotty house at the mo!! DS still has his spots from chicken pox and now dd2 and dd3 have them :( Also ds2 has them and he is sooo little to have them :( Ive also got a bug which the girls had on monday night - loads of sickness yuck!! Poor kiddies. I need a healthy house as feel like its just been one thing after the other!!

    DH didnt need to borrow any money and came home with about £5 which is better then none :)

    On monday i paid the 1st installment for the kids trips away next yr - £26 and £3 to dd2s preschool for a extra lunch club she had - they had a picnic with the big school :)
    Yesterday was a NSD and today should be aswell - DDs will miss swimming now :( as they are poorly.

    Not alot else mse has been going on......

    Oh no mummy to 4 out of the 5 having the pox, at least your getting them all out the way at once instead of having 4 weeks of not being able to leave the house or something!!
    We thought DD2 had them a month or so back but they never turned blistery so I think they must have been bites as mil said she had been rolling round in the grass :cool:!

    Hope your house gets loads better soon, by this point in illness il usually getting paranoid and dettoling door handles and light switches!!!

    Thanks! DD1 has a couple of spots that look like they might well be chicken poxs aswell so make it 5 out of 5!! DS2 wont get the imunity from it still being so little so will prob have it when his older aswell.

    Got the voucher for lovefilm promotion. So £20 more to add to my £5 a day. Some body is interested in a doppler I have for sale but she has a scan on friday so will buy it if all is well after that :) Still havent had a chance to photograph the baby clothes what with all the illness in our house!! Will do it!!

    Today is another day stuck in the house - atleast its helping all the NSD :)

    Yay to you making more money towards your £5 a day. You will need the love film thing since your housebound. Hopefully this is helping towards the NSD's if nothing else :)!

    Was helping with the NSDs but the internet isnt helping :o Have brought some nappy cream (bums are red raw at mo so trying something different as suducream isnt helping and cloggs my nappies) and also some oil for cradle cap - was free delivery and 30% off. Oh and also some mothers milk tea to try as DS is really finding it hard putting weight on and they are talking about formular etc! He has dropped from the 91st line in there chart to the 9th so dont want him to drop anymore..... Will see if its nice and if it helps? Was only £4 delivered so worth a try to up supply??

    Got a pizza last night as a treat :) was horrible so wont be using them again.

    Got a cheque from a cc that was in credit and I didnt know! So will add that onto the £5 a day when its cleared as had to chase them to get it otherwise prob wouldnt have ever given it.

    Best get back to all my spotty ones.

    Hi Mummy youve just reminded me I tried that milk thistle tea and it was awful!!! Do you like it? I gave it to my friend in the end as I couldnt bare the stuff. Which nappy cream did you go for? I always used bepathen on my 2 and it used to work well.

    :j yay to the cheque that you received, thats fantastic xx
