SmlSave's extremely small steps to reducing the mortgage

Crumpets

It sounds like you have a plan smlsave so I wouldn't worry about dipping into savings, that's what they are there for. Going to work 3 days a week sound good, I sometimes wish I'd gone back to work as finding a part time job is almost impossible!

Yikes to the grocery bill,it's so difficult to keep costs down, especially with a baby.

Enjoy the ice cream

The ice creams so far have been lovely But DS has now been ill, not sure if he just over heated or if it's another bug I'm hoping he wakes up ok as we've been invited to a friends for lunch and I've been looking forward to it all week

And on this very hot night we can't even have the windows open much as someone burnt a huge smelly bonfire - it absolutely stinks!

Alchemilla

Caught you up doing the night feed (I hope).

I hope your Ds is ok and you got to go for your lunch

I was alchemilla, although then I couldn't fall back to sleep!

DS recovered enough to go to mil's for the day so I got a short nap and to go for our lunch out. It was lovely

£8 spent on flowers and drink for the hosts.

Just lost a large post quick overview is that I've done a wonderful meal plan and have made bean burgers.

If you search for Mexican bean burgers on the good food website Crumpets the the recipe will come up I added more spices though like cumin and Harris's paste.

It's longlet ng I can't wait to go! I'm going to treat myself to a spa treatment and will give my stretch marks an airing at the pool wearing my new bikini.

We have a huge skip arriving tomorrow so we can clear yet more rubble from the garden. £220 literally spent on rubbish.

Oooh - I love CP! We first went for my 29th birthday - DD was just over 1 (she's taking her GCSEs now....) and then went every year for a while. With 4 children and being limited to school hols time only we haven't been as often since DS3 was born (maybe 3 times in 5 years) - we last went last Feb half term (when 2 of my friends also were there with their families (unbeknownst to me beforehand) We mainly go to Longleat and have been to Nottingham 3x, I think


I love it, love it, love it! - as soon as we drive on site DH visibly relaxes - especially when we couldn't get mobile and internet there (can now) - a real break from the outside world. All 4 of mine (even the teenagers) love it too - am vv envious - have a fantastic time!! xx
