jakes-mum how do you manage to cook for Jake and the rest of you separately? DD has been diagnosed coeliac and I found it so hard to keep her food 'uncontaminated' that I've made the whole house gluten-free. That's easy as there's only us 2 but it would be nice to have bread myself without the worry iyswim?

I have seperate everything! He has his own toaster which is on a seperate unit, all his oven trays are the same colour so everyone knows its a 'gluten free' tray he has his own shelf in the cupboard for his biscuits and cakes and his food always gets cooked on the top shelf of the oven and served first. Hardest thing is if they are all having fish fingers say, he has to have a different amount to everyone else so I know which plate is his after I serve up :rotfl:
I do tend to buy alot of G/F foods especially as alot of normal foods are actually G/F, but things like sausages and fish fingers are so bloomin expensive I cant feed 4 of us G/F all the time.
I don't make seperate lasagnes or anything though, that is all completely g/f for everyone, and everything (and I mean everything) has to be dishwasher safe so I can make sure its properly clean so I wont accidently contaminate him through not handwashing something properly.
He's been diagnosed over 6 years now so its a bit second nature to me, the worry is when he goes to other peoples houses and they think sticking a fork in their sausages and then his to turn them over is not going to harm him *rolls eyes* I must be doing ok as he has his gluten levels tested every year and the hospital have been very happy with his results the last few years.SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £2470.95/£1000 (19) £0/£10000 -

My purse is getting a bit heavy with shrapnel at the moment,made worse by the fact that the zip on the coins section has broken off,so it is only a matter of time before I open my purse and the contents spill all over the floor
.
So before going to bed,will pot £6.57.SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76

If a bus driver doesn't have the right change and lets me off 5p, is that a saving or roadkill? Either way, I potted it. Added another £5 to my holding pot... I think I'm going to owe myself some money from slightly over spending on my social life budget so far this month.
2 steps forward; 3 steps back. *Sigh*Ev Kizzy total S&S ISA: ~£12,225. savings £200
Loans 0 CCs: £244.47 just added. No CC interest
NST No.17 for August.

I'd call that a saving evkizzy.
Four pounds for me this week.A couple of lean weaks at the moment but it's still four pounds that would have just disappeared before joining this challenge.
Happy weekend everyone. Off to the seaside shortly for Mother-In-Law's 70th birthday party and to see my 'little' girl who's now taller than my wife

£2.81 to the pot, my OH has kindly left 2p on the side table. I can only assume it is definitely for my pot, either way I am taking it
