I have 28lb's ... Never been this big in my life ... that beautiful baby of mine has a lot to answer for. Good job she's worth it.

morning, just up feeding roo, bless him. Not looking forward to weighing in, 20lb was just a guess! going to try and actually do some exercise too today!!

was hoping today would be a NSD but i need petrol, going to nip to tesco too, might get up early and go, although depends on roo and how i sleep fo the rest of the night.

Just remembered i have sent a top back which i should be getting a trfund for, think it was about £30, so that is going to go straight off the CC!

now my cc has £600 on it, this months payment will go out on the 3rd i think which is £120, which brings that down to £500 minus the interest. so i should have £450 to pay off when i get paid on the 20th, from when i worked my budget out, plus the £30, so

500-
450-
30
=20
so that card will be paid off if i can find another £20, hmmmm wonder if i could find this?

Oh actually thinking about it, might have to pay my ou dd of £90, it might be being cancelled it's got a bit complicated with stopping and restarting courses so im unsure about that, but that £90 can come off the ou total. god im rambling as its super early in the morning, and im sure it doesnt make sense to anyonem but it makes sense to me lol. By the way everyone, please excuse my really poor punctuation and spelling etc. a lot of the time, i am nearly always typing one handed with a sleeping/feeding roo, and as it takes aaaaages to type anything, i just go with whatever's quickest!!!

ooh just checked stuff is on offer until 3rd, might be less busy to go to tesco on tuesday.....

ok my to do list so far:

[STRIKE]Change the bed[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]washing[/STRIKE]
put clean washing away
take out rubbish
tidy nursery
sort paperwork
clear table
get christmas boxes out of the loft
[STRIKE]maybe pop to tesco as they have shampoo on special offer[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]get fuel[/STRIKE]
tidy hallway
find more stuff to ebay
[STRIKE]change babys bed
[/STRIKE]
clean out fridge
weigh myself

managed to get some bargains in tesco, although couldnt get everything I wanted, but that is now my once a month trip, stocked up on all the stuff that is cheaper there than at aldis.

Right been thinking of ways i can improve my energy bills.
always run dishwasher on shortest cycle
run washer on 30degrees and only 800spin
turn lights off when not in room
not turn heating on or up, is on a thermostat
turn tvs off standby
unplug things when not using them
use cold water instead of hot whenever possible
when baking use the oven to cook lots of things.

im sure there will be more and i know ive mentioned some before and some are obvious but i really need to pull my socks up with it! if anyone can think of anything else that would help i'd be very grateful.

In tesco i picked up some different shampoo to try as it was much cheaper than my normal stuff, i usually use oh's head and shoulders (cheaper tesco version) but tresemme has their 2in1 on offer which works out much cheaper so will try that. Have also bought tesco 24hr roll on deodorant and spray which are much cheaper than my usual ones, thought it was worth a try if nothing else. What cheaper products have you tried and loved?

Morning

I'm a bit of a diet coke junky and have to say the 39p stuff from Lidil is great. And at 39p for 2 litres its a bargain! Tresemme is great, I've used it for year, and normally manage to stock up when it's on offer.

Also very impressed you've been to tesco already

missymoo81

oooh i love pepsi max will investigate aldis version, llydls is a bit of a trek from here, glad tresemme is good, was half price in tesco!

Peabody_2

I'll try anything one, some things are ok, others are not. Like it has to be Henis tomato soup, the others seem to tast funny

Morning, bless Roo for being all smily this morning. You have to forgive them for waking you then!

Is definately worth trying the cheaper brands , I am going to try and do the same. We buy sainsburys nappies as my Mum bought some and tried them on her and they worked great. We stocked up on a load when they had a 1/3 off.

missymoo81

ooo thanks wendz, i really like aldi nappies, they actually fit roos skinny little body and have won mother and baby awards, so well worth trying, next time sainsburys have an offer think i will try theirs too
