chocolate - chips cooked in ketchup is a new one on me:rotfl:. Bless him.

CEW - we bath our dog ourselves and he looks just like a dogs trust advert, we tie him up outside and then wet him with warm water - this takes forever due to his double waterproof coat, then we lather him up. The rinsing is the bit he hates, we do it with the hose straight from the outside tap, he looks pitiful but it can't be that bad as he loves to swim in rivers even when they have ice on them. When we let him go (we are both soaked by this point) he has what is known in our house as a ballistic fit - he charges around the garden like a maniac with his bum hunched underneath him.

One of my other dogs (now with ex) does this we call it his mad 5 minute bum shuffle

Oops did write a post today but obviously didn't submit it.

Was going to spend today arranged to go to local cinema with a friend we got there and it was sold out and sold most tickets for tomorrow night. Annoyed as I had rushed around after gs got collected so much felt dizzy.

Didn't get out at lunchtime either but hey ho sfd5/6.

I decided last night to up my sky subscription to family pack for this month, do like watching box sets at £8 a month only treat I am enjoying at the moment (still get it half price) may keep 2 months as was a godsend this afternoon with an overtired gs having Disney channel.

CCL hope you manage to get support for your children and don't forget yourself.

Off to bed, been non stop day, stress levels tested gs climbed up top of adult climbing frame and I struggled to reach him to get him down.

Best moment today watching flock of starlings flying hundreds of them over the pier and beach - amazing experience.

Evening all,

SFD number 6 here, didn't want to lose one to buy salad! Not much else to report, just back into the school routine and tired as usual.

Night all

Had a spend day today, though we didn't make it to asda as mum had a last minute Dr appt, but I decided to go to a different supermarket to buy pastry as I couldn't be bothered to make my own for leftover pie. A few reduced goodies may have fallen into my basket at the same time, ahem, but I'm definitely spending less than I usually do by trying to rack up nsd.

It sounds like you've made sure no food goes in the bin. Which is really important too.

Yes I know exactly that feeling. I had a baby 12 weeks ago and this week was the first time since then that I've had both children on my own. Just due to the way, paternity leave , christmas break etc fell. When it was just me and my son who is now 7, I used to get loads done but add in a little baby and the last 2 days have been very difficult. It's back to routine today so I can handle small person who sleeps for hours on end, & tailor things around that.

I loved that stage when they slept for hours, my youngest will be 2 next month and is starting to get to the stage where she needs to be forces to sleep which causes havoc when you're trying to get things done. Fortunately she likes colouring so she will happily sit in her high chair with her pencils while I rush around manically trying to get stuff done :rotfl:

Hi everyone!

Spend day today as we needed milk. We are going through an awful lot of it at the moment but I am happy for the children to be drinking that rather than fizzy drinks.

Found 5p road kill - my first of the year - will add to my sealed pot.

We have also and a few meat free days as I am trying to avoid a shopping trip to the butchers this month. We had stuff peppers tonight and I have just made some veg soup for tomorrow in my new soup maker (Christmas present from mil).

Had another busy day in work so am looking forward to climbing into bed, especially since it has fresh bedding on! Night all!

Quick check in before I head of to bed.

Ending up being a spend day today as my kids decided to bake a birthday cake for my mum and we had run out of eggs so had to pop to the shop to pick some up and remembered a dozen other things I needed before the weekend so managed to group a few items into my spend day so can hopefully manage to be spend free now until Saturday's weekly shop.

Calling - have you tried Netflix? It's only £6 for the whole month. There is lots there for children too.

CEW - 5 dogs must be a handful? What do you have?

Well done Fmess 6/6 is amazing work. And FunBrum

FunBrum - please don't worry about the score. It's the file that's important. The score only exists to the company who produce it. That's why paying for Experian etc is so pointless. Every lender has their own criteria.
