    Last night there was an advert for a free food awareness flip chart made by the government for the change4life campaign it looks really good there is a free app too

    Get yours here: https://befoodsmart.change4life.co.uk/

    It is a meal planner giving you ideas and recipes to help make charges to your diet at a low cost to your purse.

    If you are looking to swap meals for a healthy lifestyle and saving money, it's a great little tool and free too :)


    Sounds great, will check it out! Thanks :)

    not for scotland :(

    This bugged me so much when I lived in Scotland! Why did they advertise up there??? I signed up using an auntie's address, and got her to forward anything to me. Could you do the same?

    Thanks mummyrivvett, I will try get my hands on a copy!

    Had a better day today, Didn't have any needs at all, so a non spend day :)
    My kids did start saying they NEEDED better pudding than we had in lol But they are young, spoilt and oblivious to money :) Needless to say, they didn't get better pudding :p

    My colleagues needed jelly babies today. We have Ofsted in. I needed a packet of 10 'real' cigarettes!! (Been smoking roll ups)

    I don't work Thursday or Friday as contracted days so it's been odd. Relieved that I've escaped but just feeling so sorry for everyone else.

    Stressful times as anyone who has ever worked in Education will know......

    Haha for a second, when I read 'real' I was picturing those little candy sticks we used to pretend smoke as kids... We've had cold weather for the fake smoke as well!

    Hoping Ofsted goes well for the colleagues!

    Another NSD for me - I didn't need anything today, and I don't need anything until Saturday.
