    Thanks, I'm going to check on the house today. Not heard anything from the tenant/ electrician so hoping he has managed to fix.

    I always spend around £40, but there's certainly room for improvement as dd3 gets fed at nursery and dd1 &2 have breakfast club and free school meals - for dd1 this is the last year though.

    Good to be back at work, but I've already got a stonking cold and three mouth ulcers - great :(

  • Being back at work has its benefits, no time for social spending

    :eek:rainbows subs for two £50, £39.25 to fill car with petrol.

    Currently eating out of the freezer. Basa fillet and sweet corn for tea.
    Girls had chicken fillet in a burger bun.

    Went to corner shop for paracetamol, magazine last night, walked with dd2. 30 min trip, great bonding. I'm determined to only use car for work, kids clubs.
