Great post Mila.

Kim have you tried approved fuud for groceries? It is close to or past best before date food at about 70% discount.

Talk of nutella made me think. We just got some amazing choc spread from there (cookie nottie) for pence.

Health warning...pay by paypal so you can raise a claim if your order is wrong as they have IME zero customer service.Great bargains though.

Also try Clearance XL. Similar to Approved Foods, but in my opinion, cheaper. Hope you enjoy the holidays. M2m.

Hello Kim, I've been reading from the start and just wanted to say hello and how well you are doing. My mum brought six of us up on her own on less than a shoe string. Although we had nothing we had a fantastic childhood with all our siblings to play with and I recognise the same fun your children are having from your posts. I know how exhausting life must be. I am now bringing up just one child on my own as an older mother, and that is hard enough. Xxx:T

I appreciate that, thanks Mandy. It is tough and it's nice to meet someone out the other side of being the child in a larger single parent family and had a happy childhood

Hi kim, ive read through your diary and want to say that you are doing great. Im also a single mum, but to only 3. My 2 eldest have also signed up to a bfg reading challenge at a local library so made me wonder if you live around the same county as me or if it is a nationwide challenge.
Kepp up with all the good work that you are doing, gtg my 9month old is trying to break the computer

Kim, babe, as if you need anyone to tell you a happy childhood depends on how much love and support there was around, not on how much money and material things. You are doing a great, nay, a fantastic job and your children will grow up and go out into the world with skills and attitudes rich people cannot buy their children: They may well be able to teach those to them, but they cannot buy them. Hey and yay, Mandy! Great post.
