its just a thought but you are buying the 2litre for £1 milk? i think it is called 1% milk and always seems to have a purple top
if you buy regular milk it would work out very expensive as you are getting through such a lot. i buy a weeks worth with my weekly shop

Farmfoods milk is usually £1 too.

Just signed up to the spending diary - thats gonna help - Also Dancing Fairy, Thanks for your post - we are in a fixed rate mortgage deal till April 2013 - so were were gonna try to make it till then - but interest only will need to happen, my gardening jobs - i'm lucky i have a big country house that pay me all year round - so i still get about £200 through the winter months , but yes that does reduce, and yes the hours are a killer i feel all i do is work, sleep and pay bills. i often come off a night shift, nip home for some breakfast and go out gardening for 6 hours with no sleep - you get used to it.. The kids are great but the lads want to keep up with all their mates with the brand name goods - we try to buy bits off e bay ... not easy

if there mates are true mates they wouldnt care what your kids are wearing or have, would going to carboots not save you money for clothes? you ofter get brand names there.
if your son wants brand name things he should pay it out of his milk round pay isnt that the whole reason he has it so he can buy things?
