Hi! Im ok thank you for thinking of me

Not been 100% again today and OH was at work so washed up, that was about it

Though my OH has been told he is shortlisted for a job in London for more than double pA what he is on now! The only thing is I dont want to move away but at the same time I need his support in the evenings!

Personally If he was to do contract work he would earn approx £300 a day so in 6 months we could live and save what he earns in a year ! I prob would be more happy with him working away as its the extra money. But its the risk but my gut feeling is the contract work. Sorry I am babbling!
I am popping over to your diary now x

Ok new day! Going to try not to worry about OH jobs!

Plan for today is to write a shopping list ready for tomorrow! I have a budget of £50 for the week!

Today is a NSD, even though I haven't left the house since friday my Oh has spent a bit of change from the pub. Im happy we havnt used our card but at the same time that extra could have gone on the credit card Though was things to help me get better aswell as easy tea as Ive not been up to cooking!

As I have started cooking from scratch I am freezing meat and forgetting to take it out of the freezer so I need to get organised.

It is pay day for the months food shopping tomorrow! I have been googling and come across Ecoegg! Why didnt I see this prior to buying my washing powder! If you read this go have a look!
My plan is to do a bulk buy of stock so looking at approved food and food bargains!
Need to make a meal plan

I would like to buy salmon to last at least 2 meals but I bought frozen last time and they were horrible. Would you say 1kg for £10 is good value? Its just if it last 2 meals, £5 per meal is ridiculous! Any Ideas?

Tesco does fresh whole side of salmon at the fish counter sometimes for £10. Not sure about the weight but sure it's more than 1kg. We usually get 3-4 meals out of that. A few proper fillets and oddly shapes for pasta or fish pie.

Thank You! I've seen tesco have it on offer at the moment! But couldn't work out how long it would last unless saw it! I would freeze some of it too!

Hi Homemadehappiness!

We have quite a lot to sell on ebay! I have found a few other thinks that dont really make sense to me but seem good for him as he works in IT! Are you looking for the same thing?x

Im just wanting a little extra income that is specifically for the debts rather than what gets chucked into the bills if that makes sense, i even considered seeing if i could get a cleaning job or something for say 6 hours a week but i already work full time and have my bubs at home. just want this debt gone and feeling a little restless! xx
