Missy and Roo's living life to the full diary

missymoo81

I have set myself a budget of £50 a week for shopping, and I've been to tesco and spent £50.40 but actually managed to use one of the many till print vouchers for a change and saved myself £7!!!! And got another print out to use by the 1st! Very chuffed with that. It helped that when I couldn't skeep last night I was looking at mysupermarket to check prices! Have had quite a productive morning aside from going to tescos have done a load if washing, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher and have made 30 cupcakes which I need to decorate for my friend to sell for charity not sure when I'm going to find the time to decorate them though!! And I need to whizz up the chicken and veg from last night for Roos dinners!

Oh bells I don't envy you but feel your pain, roo still wakes up once or twice a night, it's rubbish.

Oooooh my green house has just been delivered and as we speak OH is digging and will be rotovating my veg patch later!! We've had more fruit trees delivered too as OH complained as some of the others we bought died so they sent us 5 new ones, result!

Bit concerned about the eBay nappies, it's come up as payment pending and have checked and the person is a new user and hasn't responded to my emails, ho hum we shall see!

Right just feeding the bubba now work to do x

Sounds all go go go in your household at the moment! Quite inspiring to read actually as you are making me think lots since you wrote about changing things to get the life you want post earlier.

I'm guilty of just plodding along sometimes but I think your post has inspired/given me a kick up backside in making things happen rather than wishing they happen....I too now have some thinking to do. Thank you :A

Keep us posted on the green house - i've always liked the idea of being self sufficient, perhaps I need to put this into play

Hope the rest of your day is going well x

Aww what a lovely post choc addict! Not sure my insane ramblings can be called inspiring! But thanks all the same!!

Have finally finished making the cupcakes, not overly happy with them though as I hadn't realised I'd run really low in decorations so they all look completely different, some better than others! The kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it but I haven't even had half a chance to clean it up yet! Ive got that stupid night out at the pub tonight for OHs friends birthday, all the girls are super glam and skinny, I in comparison have nothing remotely fashionable to wear, it's raining so wedges are out and I seriously don't have anything to wear, oh and I'm knackered!! Really want to just go to bed. I hate feeling like this. Just wish I looked nicer!! x

Firstly from one insane person who rambles to another I totally get where you are coming from with the "get the life you want" thing

Secondly, I am sure you will look fabulous when you go out!!!!. If you can get hubby to watch Roo and give yourself an hour to get ready. You're prob tired due to having a busy old day. I totally get where you are coming from, hubby announced that we are going out for friends 30th bday meal on 1st July - it sent me in to panic mode straight away as all younger then me (i'm nearly 34) and skinny minnies where as i've put on 10lbs since wedding day and feel like a frump

How about we get back to motivating re the exercise and diet? How are you getting on with WW?

Bet your cakes look fab even with running out of bits!

P.S - once you're out i'm sure you'll feel fine lovely and realise you are just as gorgeous as any one of the other ladies. They prob live on lettuce leave and that's no life to lead :rotfl::rotfl:

Well after a rather traumatic busy eventful day, I finally got out, found something to wear and as you predicted choc addict, had a lovely time!

Oooh have heard back about the nappies on eBay and can pick them up next week.

Well we're just back from spending the day at an airshow, it was ok am exhausted though!

Just feeding roo, sorting out a couple of things in the kitchen then going to bed, as we spent the night at my dads last night roo woke up about a million times!!

OH goes away on Monday do on Monday night I'm going to have a maasive cleansthon, start as i mean to go in and all that! As I'm awake a lot in the night I've been working on a timetable/ routine so that Ivan actually get things done! I'll try and come up with a definitive one tonight. Gosh I'm tired!

Glad you had a nice time going out.

Timetable sounds like a good idea to keep yourself organised. As £50 a week food budget. I usually aim to spend around that and then end up topping up and buying little bits i don't really need.

Just sitting watching the grand Prix whilst feeding the bubba. Have a joint of pork in the slow cooker, I've never used it for joints of meat,I've just put a bit of water in the bottom and some apple, so we'll hope for the best!!!

Have more or less tidied the kitchen, still got the floor, work top and cooker to do! Will get some bits done whilst the football is on later and roo is in bed.

Hope you're all having happy Sundays

Been having yet more thinks and really hate how unorganised everything is, my food cupboards I can barely get in along with my freezer. So I'm going to sort through my cupboards over the next couple of days and I'm going to start eating out of the freezer. I have a load of soup that I can have for lunches and I have chilli, savoury rice and odds and ends that need eating up for tea, that should help.

Havent been very good Ww wise these last few days but it's always easier when OH is away.

Me and OH have discussed me carrying on with my degree and how I'm going to afford it and he said that he'd pay for it. Which isn't really what i wanted, it was something I wanted to do for myself, but in the long run were a family at the end of the day and when I'm a teacher earning better money, it's us as a family that will benefit. So my task us to definitely try and get the shopping bill down as ill feel like I'm doing my bit then towards the bills. Bu&&er just been outbid on the back carrier for Roo, doesn't end til tomorrow but still a pain.

Going to see if I can find my last few shops t£sco receipts and see what I've been spending the most on.
