    Evening everyone

    Just wanted to say that I probably won't be on here much for the rest of the month as sadly my Dad passed away last night. He had been very ill in hospital but it has still come as a huge shock. I'm determined to keep a rough eye on what is being spent but to be honest I'm really not bothered if we spend too much this month. I hope you all keep on track with your NSD's and your budgets and remember

    We don't fail, we look, we learn and we move on

    Helen, I'm so sorry to hear your news. Sending my love and thoughts to you and yours. And you're right, your grocery budget should be the last thing on your mind. I will light a candle for you xxx

    No, what bit do they do? the £1200 shopping with loads of cheese or the going into a magic world through a tree? :rotfl::rotfl:

    PennyGrabber, yeah, I also heard that. I always have carrots and peas from frozen.

    Anyone has any ideas for desserts with 4 kiwis?

    They LOVE cheese!!!! But they took a rocket to the moon not a trip through cyberspace(now thinking cybermen and Dr Who oh dear):rotfl::rotfl:

    Helen-you are right-moneysaving although important is not top of the list at this sad time. Taking care of you and yours is what matters. Losing a parent is devastating in my experience. Big hugs.
