Thanks honestly i think i applied maybe a year or 2 ago they must have a huge waiting list :rotfl:

I had a nightmare day it wasn't anything really bad just loads of little things, so i went to lidl and spent £9.73 on

5 pizzas (4 now in the freezer)
2 garlic bread (1 now in the freezer)
a bag of wedges (half now in the freezer)
tub of coleslaw
packet of cheese slices
box of jaffa cakes (half of which is in my yummy:o)

now i'm off for a nice hot bubbly bath then an early night, tomorrows another day

Oh and i've forgotten something from my budget i remebered earlier but i've forgotten again, i'll add it in when i remeber :rotfl:

Soooo tired and completely not with it today, off to speech therapy soon.

Todays dinner is yesterdays dinner
lunch is cheese and coleslaw sandwichs (since i now have coleslaw)

Childs still off school sick hubby wanted me to wait for a whole day of him eating properly, so far so good

Remebered what i missed from the budget, it was school photo's altho i think the sickly one has missed it, given there twins if he has i won't be buying the other one, i really need to go get family photo's done, we havnet ahd any done of the youngest and he 3 it makes me sad we have no proper pictures of him
