  • Morning hope all is well?

    The money situation is scarily tight :o I might even need to borrow a little from my mum to see us until Monday but we will see hopefully not!

    Double checked I have completed the school uniform shopping. It is definitely done! Even down to socks and umbrellas :D Makes a change to be organised :o

    Sent mum to get the newspaper for the £5 off meat and give her the £5 to go get said meat. That will help for the next fortnights meal plan :D
    Time to start again :o

  • Thanks to it be a bank holiday somewhere I didn't need to run to the bank of Mum because Monday's tax credits where in the bank yesterday!

    Phew! Made use of the £5 of £10 meat at morrisons and now have enough food to last the next week or so. So not a NSD money spent in Mr M £8.29 on meat and bits to see is through.

    The last of the uniform bits came in today (these where already paid for) Glad its sorted now.

    No real plans for the weekend the weather is awful so wont be going anywhere. Have to plan a trip to the Zoo over the next couple of weeks as promised the kids beginning to regret it now :o

    I hope little one is ok??
    Fab going on the uniform shopping! I am so slack with that area :o I will leave the shoes until last minute though as I had one year that I bought them too early and DS1 outgrew them in the holidays :rotfl: it's obviously stuck in my mind as i've always waited until the last few days now to get them :p

    Good going on the free meat deal! We've got no Mr M here sadly so I always miss those deals xx

    Agreed, OH and I not worrying about his DS's uniform until end of August, he's not back to school until 8th Sep and is likely to gain a shoe size, if not need bigger clothes too as he'll be away for a week with his grandparents. They have bigger meals than us and when he came back after a week in February his shoulders were so broad and he was all long arms lol He's gained at least 1cm since April already!
