    Yeap chin up :) Hate having to put things on credit :( Ohwell.....
    DS keeps climbing out of his cot!! Arrr so DH needs to make it to the cotbed. I need to buy new mid sleeper for the girls room so that we can move the cots along as DS2 needs to go in the bigger cot. So thats what im also trying to save towards..... DH is doing over time this week so I am hopeing that he will earn enough extra from it for him to take to the grand prix? And if any extra ill save it towards the new bed (then next has to be the kitchen floor as im fed up of having no flooring :( )
    Anyway today Ive had to pop to the shops. Put some petrol in and then spent £12.84 Ald*. Should be all for today...
    Ive sorted all my savings accounts and have opened a new one aswell. Ive changed all the names on each account so I know what they are saved for (Just not much in them at the mo...)

    Spent £70.20 yesterday in Ald* So around the £350 mark for shopping this mth so there is no way I should go over target of £500 in the week....fingers crossed anyway :) Next mth I will lower it a bit. I will see what we finish at when mth is finished. I have eaten loads out of the frezzer though as didnt want it to get ruined. We now have the new frezzer and have lots more room in fridge aswell :)
    Today will be a nsd, as we are not leaving the house. x

    Asd* have sent me free delivery so Ive ordered a few bits from them :) The bread I like to use is 90p at asd* but its £1.35 at MrT!!! so I got as much as I can fit in Freezer :) also Frubes which DDs like in lunch boxs were 3 for £3 which is a good offer........Anyway its about £29 so not bad :) but on top of that ive had to order some beers for Dhs trip away and Baccy for him !!! Grrrr - but he has said he will try and give up after his weekend away??? So will see.....
    Anyway today isnt a nsd but will be a lsd. I had to get DD some coudh sweets before school as she has a horrible cough bless her so they might help her a little at school.... but that should be it......

    Hi Mummy,

    well done on the free delivery with mr A but only buying the cheap stuff that you will use. I had a free delivery with them too but I had a falling out a bit ago so having taking the stance against them :rotfl:!!!

    Poor DD hope shes ok xx

    I hat e the delivery for fruit and stuff like that as its often horrible stuff I got so stoped using them but thought I would take advantage of free delivery and buy what we need thats on offer from them :) But they have just delivered and they subbed the bread for normal not with added calcium! So i sent them back and will have to go to mrT at some point soon anyway now....
    So delivery for Asd* food shop was £25.95 which ill add to the GC plus some beers and baccy for DH!! But thats not part of the GC.
    Just noticed that they have a offer for 2 for £6 of packs of 20 sausages which I got but they havent taken the price off!! Grrr that bugs me even thought its not much they shouldnt advertise the offer and then not put it through....think ill go send a snotty email now :)

  • HI mummy, I stopped using asda because of the stupid subs they sent and also had a couple of offer where offer wasn't taken off and one time half my order was missing and OH had to chase the van down the street LOL, it was still sat in the back of the van and the driver was going to deliver it to another customer:mad:. Also don't understand why they can take your money straight away but it takes them 5 days to refund it.

    Cant believe they tried going off with half your shopping!! Yeah they can take your money quick but giving it back always takes a age!!
    I went to MrT today to get baby milk and the bread I didnt get sent yesterday, But they didnt have it!! So will need to go again some time soon to get some more. Which is a pain but I like DD to have it.... More to add to the GC as got other bits while there. £28 odd (ill check before adding it) Still will need to get a bigger shop at weekend on this mths (plus the bread if I ever get any :) )
    Today I shouldnt need any other bits so no more spends.
    The kids have been told what school trips will be next year and the cost of them - £58.50 each!!!! Arrr but they will take it over the year at £15 a go (so £30 for the 2 of them) so ill do it that way. Ill need a second mortage for the school trips when they are all at school!!! It is for a good few trips though :)

    Opps havent updated for a while!! Naughty mummy :p
    Not much really going on! DH has gone to silverstone for the weekend, He is camping and so needed a fair amount of spending money - but he did overtime last mth to cover this :D the tickets were a gift for his 30th bday :money:
    Spent £85 of the food budget already! Im sure im the only person in the world who can spend that much in one hit in Ald* lol. Need to go to MrTs later as need baby milk, plus a few other bits. So will pop in after swimming with the kids. I will stick to the list......

    Managed to get all the school uniform the other day from M&S as they had the 20% off and I used the vouchers I got earlier in the year!! A few bits need changing but will take them back next week when I have a hr to kill when one dd is at a club and its only round the corner :) Also got myself some new bras - know how to treat myself lol.

    Had to pay for DDs Gymnastics and also buy her a leotard but my dad had given me a little money towards the Gymnastic which is great :)
