  • I get so broody, need to stop lol!

    Well I have been very organised today.

    Been the bank and got statements, also took enough money for 1 week food, toiletries and nappies! So should not need the card until next tuesday! Also it looks like I have saved some money this month as last month went over by £40 and got charged £85 which goes out next week :( I hate banks for those charges!
    I bought my fave bargain toilet rolls, 18 for £3.49 and they are good enough quality for the likes of me :) and bogof washing up liquid for £1. Some food bargains also. My main shop is tomorrow! I buy nappies from Aldi for £5 for 44(i think) I wonder if there are cheaper about! Need to look!
    I havnt managed to join any challenges today as its been non stop since I woke up, we are due an inspection wed so my oh has been carpet cleaning thanks to my mums Vax :)
    I have received a pregnancy pillow for review so I am very chuffed right now as could not afford one atm! One day hey! :)
  • Glad you had a productive day :) we have Aldi nappies here too - bargain! Xx
