    Ok slight change of plan, £6 spent in the filling station on galviscon, 4 litres of milk, 4 snickers (cause i sent hubby cause i really really needed the gaviscon) and a box of tea bags. On the plus side i do feel abit better i think before i drank a litre of milk.

    Heating ! Wow! We had all the windows open for the last 2 days as it was really warm! Gone a bit chilly this morning mind you!

    Hope you start feeling better soon quintwins :(

    lol @ the snickers! I send hubby out for essentials and he comes back with treats. They are good to go for us though I guess! I have been hitting the Gaviscon this past week if it is any consolation. Yacky stuff but it works.

    Lol to be fair when he was leaving he said i'll get us a chocolate bar each for later and i said i don't wnat any but if your getting some make sure you get some of offer and he did it was 4 for £1.

    It's been really warm yesterday but fri and sat were freezing,It's cold today but not heating cold.

    My tax credits havent went in, they said it was sent and must be a problem with my bank, it's annoying because it means i ca't save anything today, hubbys has to phone the bank cause the accounts in his name and he's working :(

    Washings in on an eco setting about to go on the line, and kids are off to school, £4 spent on snack money.

    Meatballs mash, peas and sweetcorn with gravy for tea.

    Aww but just think how huge your amount will be, don't get me wrong it's nice seeing it go up by £233 a week but it would also be nice to see it jumping by £1k at a time lol.

    Got 3 loads of washing dried on the line today, and dinner was yummy :)
