    Hiya hope you've had a good day.

    bread maker def worth ago, I've got a panasonic too and talking to others it does seem there one of the best. can honestly say I havn't bought a loaf since I got it last Feb! I still buy reduced rolls to freeze and go with soup etc but the loaves just taste better and cost so little; 8 sachets of yeast less than 70p (approx 3 loaves a sachet) and although I tend to make granary style bread you can make a decent loaf from value flour if you're particularly skint at less than 20p a loaf!

    Anyway sorry to hijack :p

    Feeling a little low today day 1 of a 9 day stretch at work and struggling with DS1's mental health issues and his inherent laziness :eek: and the effect on DS2 who's trying to do GCSE's!

    Oh well failing mum off to watch corrie :o

    Have a good evening all



    That's interesting................



    I've got one doing GCSE's at the mo and trying to get them to study is like :wall:

  • Totally forgot the biggest news though :) DFD slashed to AUG 2015 :shocked::cool2::T:j smilie overload for that .

    Hoping to get it down a bit by Christmas (fingers crossed) any spare cash we get is going on the debts with a view to reduce our DFD. I don't know about other people but it's all i think about. Constantly checking the accounts etc.

    Another bit of good news is that i overpaid on one of the now closed cc by £32 so will be calling them to give it back to me tomorrow:cool: then i'll pay it off one of the others.

    Got to pay £12 :shocked: for the car park tomorrow which means i'll be going over my weekly spend :mad: completely not thought out properly with the budget this week and i'm angry at myself #angry eyes :rotfl:

    Dog needs more food and not enough in the weekly shopping budget so again will be an overspend. Annoyed that there's nothing else i can cut back on. Oh plus the kids are DESPERATE for a new school jumper each :wall: i 'hoped' with it being JUNE and all it would be sunny (fat chance of any sunshine here, more like floods) and they could go without until the new term in Sept....no chance :(
    They're so expensive too £15 each so £30 squids!!!!!

    ps ds trying to revise (ds1 just makes home too difficult at mo) so I'm sure yours is too :D

    no exactly what you mean about reducing your dfd, my aim is to get rid of my s@ntander overdraft its only 460 but I'm paying 27/month and they're taking 25!!!! I'm going to take every bank shift I can get and get rid of it by the end of July (even if the dept management co don't know!)

    Sista, sorry this is about the other issue as I woke up this morning looking forward to my breckie then started worrying about you. Are you seeing someone about the eating disorder?

    Nightmare about the school jumpers, just discovered DS has gone through the heel of his school shoes and DD announced her trainers don't fit anymore! Going to try tesco see if they've got anything reasonable. Think how rich we'd all be without the kids!!
