Morning

Had a bit of luck moneysaving wise, we have sold our washing machine for £90 10 minutes after advertising it this money will be put towards our budget deficit while DH is out of work.

Also we had to buy nappys for DD2 yesterday and they can be expensive! however tesco have a voucher for £1 off when you spend £10 on baby items so we picked up an offer buy 2 for £10 to our good fortune the offer didnt kick in so a trip to customer service seen a refund of £5.96 plus they took the £1 voucher making the nappys £6.02. I have entered my receipt details onto the price checker and should get another £3 back in the form of a voucher BARGAIN

Not much to report cant afford to go out other than the school run, DH is getting on my nerves being home and disrupting my routine how I havent thrown a heavy object at him yet is beyond me!!

lmao @ heavy objects being thrown. I honestly think this is why me and hubby are having so many problems at the mo his current job means he is the bosses b1tch basically (ensures quick promotion but boring job) and so he is at home most the day waiting for a phone call just to pick him up. He drives me fricking insane!!!

As for nappies yay! i despise & resent spending money on nappies sooooo much !!! :mad: Have you got a lidl or aldi i actually think their nappies are just as good as pampers & huggies and worked out the last time i bought them at 8.7 p a nappy and pampers worked out at 11p a nappy and that was when they were on offer! (aye i am one of those saddos standing there in the aisle working out how much each nappy costs per unit and refuse to buy if over 10p )

I like lidl nappys and did get them when DD1 was smaller but they just dont fit her well now, I also like the morrisons cheap ones but its out of the way so only get them if passing.

I feel your pain as much as I love him I wish he was not here lol The house is a tip I just cant get into doing it while hes home and my god he nags and nags and nags!! Today I gave him a few jobs to do tidy the garage and clean the car, that got him out from under my feet for 2 hours but he let DD1 help and she stumbled across her christmas pressies now shes sat playing with a Peppa pig playset, a new hiding place will be needed.
I have also just realised DH has put a nappy on DD1 which I have been trying to avoid I have been asking her hourly to go sit on the toilet and even praised her for no accidents GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Budget all done for the month ahead and june, we have a huge spreadsheet with everything we need to pay for next 3 months and we are only short for DS' birthday present. He wants a smart phone samsung galaxy so will be looking for deals on them hopefully we will have some vouchers for tesco from surveys and mums discount to bring the price down.

Shopping time again grrr :mad: a bit more planning now we have the internet again. Packed lunch shop all done using tesco JTD price check, £30 spend after coupons will get £11 back will then do another "free" shop and spend the £11 and get £6 back and repeat until down to £1. Will be doing a store cupboard shop on wednesday using the £10 off £80 spend so lots of pasta sauces will also base this on JTD price check to buy as much as possible. Thursday will be iceland I was suprised how much they had improved their bags of frozen chicken breasts are cheap but better than the fresh I normally buy and bigger.

DS has been out playing most of the day I think the neighbours see more of him than I do! DD1 has been doing really well using the toilet since her teacher set her using the toilet as home work :beer: DD2 is doing what she does best sleeping

Rejection letter starting to come through from some of the jobs i have applied for at least they are replying, I need to get someone to look at my CV as I have not had to look for work since I was 18 and had the same job for 11 years

OH has been at home alot due to the weather,im so glad that im at work more as he does nothing but moan about being at home and does absolutely nothing at home.
Have you considered setting up your own little cleaning buisness whilst looking for your proper work.Mine has picked up alot lately through putting a free advert on Gumtree,It might tied you over for a while and you will have alot of experience in domestic cleaning:D

thanks for the tip about chicken from iceland, i used to buy there years ago but didnt find them much cheaper and i was too lazy to go do separate shops but the chicken at te$co isnt all that nice (we buy the frozen ones). I've no idea what you are talking about with JTD but it sounds great and i hope you get lots for your money!

have a lovely sunday all x

We have passed the initial stage for fostering :j:j:j The next part is 3 days training

Did our shopping today it was so much quicker not taking DS & DD1 30 minutes thats a record for me :rotfl::rotfl:

I have been feeling really tired again recently could do with a weeks bed rest

All bills have been paid and enough money put aside to cover the next 2 months DH has been accepted into the college access to training course and starts in september he also has a job interview on Friday for a temp position which will take him upto september :D

Had a bit of a rubbish day DD1 has been poorly with a bad chest, she hasnt stopped coughing all day has been really quiet and this evening started to be sick, she has always suffered with her chest and is being tested in a few weeks for asthma. We called NHS direct who told us to take her A&E, they have given her steriods and if shes no better in 24hrs we have to take her back. She is so poorly, she is in bed and trying to sleep but with a high temp she cant get comfy.

We will be having a clear out next week and looking for stuff to ebay, i'm in two minds whether to list all the girls clothes I may need them if we foster.

Anyway I am shattered so will catch up later x
