Jake is actually in sea scouts, the walking weekend in march is costing me £35 (and im prob going to have to provide all his food as well ) so im expecting a bill of £100 ish for the week to scotland, OMG I went to PGL when I was a kid for a week and I think it cost my mum about what yo paid for 2 days :eek::eek: glad Jakes school never did it now . . not that they do anything really

Do they get to go to the Air Museum? We went every single year!

This will be a challenge but certainly needed! Have joined sealed pot challenge, aiming for NSD and 20p jar - not to mention the small (not) matter of £8200 debt!

Well here goes,

I am a bit fed up...its free listings and I can't stop doing my stupid Uni work!!! Damn deadlines!!! I have about 25 things to sell too.

How do you all get so many things listed in one sitting? Am I missing a trick?

Have to do the last food shop of the month today and I have £24 left in the groceries pot. Erk. Fortunately have a huge chicken and veg curry and rice in freezer, which will do at least three meals for hubby and I (although I'll be trumping like anything at work ), and some other bits that will do the kids for at least three meals. Oh, and a fridge full of bits of veg that is destined to be soup for some lunches. Still need to get pack-up bits and fruit and so on. It will be an interesting challenge to see if I can do it without going overbudget.

Hope tomorrow goes well, I remember how scared I was going back after having the kids, in case everything had changed, or I'd forgotten it all! After five minutes I quickly realised nothing had changed at all really and I remembered so much more than I thought I would have (and I'd had TEN YEARS off! )

Am I the only person here today? Grocery shop completed- £20.38! :jThat leaves three quid for bread later in the week. I am a domestic goddess of frugality. (Well, if you exclude the overspending that led to the £50 grand of debt, of course. )
