Did you get the boots then? They were really nice and very reasonable! Sorry for encouraging you to spend but at that price, you could hardly turn them down

Nice meal plan I have been shopping-happy this week - not good! Also have more vouchers for this week which I feel I should use to the maximum but we're back up to full stock again. Need to re-join the freezer thread on the Food board

LauraWxx

very impressed with your meal plan...i have done mine up until saturday and am already tempted to change tonight!!

quintwins

laura i do regularly deviate from mine abit, mainly with breakfasts and lunchs but if it's writen down i'm more likely to stick it it.

Yeah i did buy the boots , i could do with paying more attention to that thread my brand new freezer is full to bursting already

I'm off to see micheal macntyre this sat :j:j but my banks looking very sad (£18) so i've transfered £100 out of my savings so we can have a nice meal and put some desil in.

£133 added to savings.

Paid my rent yesterday so thats another £150 gone and £4 to school for snack money.

I'm off to the soft play area today, will bring sandwichs and stop in tesco for juice, just finishing some toast and cornflakes before we go so we won't need a big lunch.- ok i'm not going to tesco i found a carton of juice in the fridge i'll have and ds is having a couple of yogurt drinks, i'm going to try only pay the £3.75 to get in.
It's dry but cold here today so i'm going to hang some washing out and hope for the best.

Only spent £3.75 at the soft play area to get in :j

Had to change the bulb for the heatlamp as it wasn't strong enough, i bought 2 last week i wasn't trying to change a used bulb btw, the new bulb was £1.20 dearer, but thats not coming out of my budget.

quintwins

Good morning everyone, ii just spilt tea on my laptop so i'm hoping it doesn't give up on me.

Hubby broke the heat bulb i bought yesterday then we were wondering if she would have her pups last night as she was acting abit strange and barking, so we borrowed a heat lamp, so far no puppys it's very likely to be this week since she's due sun.

Not much going in today, it's wet and cold, i need to put abit of desil into my car and take one of the older kids to speech therapy.- ok i'm no going to speech tehrapy it's next week good job i relisted before i got him out of school, i just hope he's not too annoyed because he thinks he's going.

Dinner is macaroni cheese, how do i make it with philly or a packet of cheese sauce? i'll eat either i just can't decide which.

quintwins

Wow it's suddenly got really cold i'm avoiding putting the heat on til the older kids are home, i might light the fire when we get in, or maybe we'll all climb into my bed and watch a dvd then i'll light teh fire after hmm we'll see.

I just got changed so i can layer up, i have a vest top a long sleved top a fleece a pair of leggings, a pair of jeans and snowboots on

DS is nice and cosy under a blanket with a fleece on which is ok til we move i suppose.

Thinking i might make a cheesecake to much on over the weekend, can't decide between that and a jam and cream sponge. all i need for cheesecake is gelatine and cream, and for sponge is cream and jam so theres not much different proce wise.

ammonite

cheese sauce, mustard and proper grated cheese for your macaroni cheese!

mmmm cheesecake!!!!

We are in dressing gowns today rather than heating as it isn't cold enough yet to put the heating on - this may all change later on!

I remebered i'm acually away out for dinner on sat and sun so i decided not to do any deserts i might make cheese scones and freeze some

And yeah i think i'm gonna make it with cheese sauce.
