    Can you see me? Im currently trying to meal plan. Friend is a "brand snob" but unfortunatly if Im shopping and cooking it will be cheap and cheerful on most things and he can stick to buying his own junk seeing as me and the kids dont eat/drink it lol.

    He spends at least £150 a week on himself (this includes eating on the go while hes on nights/long driving) but even so he should take food with him rather than paying services/corner shop prices.

    Yay eventually I have a new pram. Its only small so fits in the car, perfect for on the bus etc and a bargain too at half price very mse. I've been looking on Ebay for a few days but managed to get this with all its accesories cheaper than a second hand one on Ebay.

    Now to order the mr T shop, bath the kids and get them in bed. Friend is away to work now and not back until Thursday :(

    Hopefully I will have my phone back Thursday so no more lonely nights with no phone :)

    Hello all hope all is well?

    Only just home from town, but all is well at hospital and not back to the unit for 6 months :D Other than to have my spleen and meds checked but at least its a step in the right direction :D x

    Ended up getting sidetracked in town and went into the market and got loads of reduced food, probably way to much but I wasnt paying and it was too good of a bargain to miss out on. So we wont starve :)

    Spends for today
    £3.30 Fags
    £10 Electric
    £10 Gas

    All my groceries, nappies, wallpaper paint etc was paid for not by me :)
