Large single Parent Family getting Debt free

comeandgo

I use apple juice in my overnight oats, takes away the porridge feeling, then add grated apple and honey and yoghurt.

I'd not heard of fridge oats before, so I googled and liked the idea. Then I went to the supermarket and as my fav brand of porridge was on offer and I hadn't got any, bought some and was quite excited when I saw there was an offer for one of the free glass jars to put fridge oats in. It wasn't until I got home that I discovered this 'free' offer needs £2 postage.:o I might send for it for my teenage DD's stocking as she likes anything she can take a photo of and put it on social media as being pretty!

this last few weeks has been crazy, ive hardly had time to think let along post on here, lol. Ive got loads up on ebay and on FB selling pages to make some money and ive been doing loads of surveys etc to earn some amazon vouchers for christmas. im so happy its the summer holidays, it means NO early morning and lots of trips to the park and beach right where we live, i feel so fortunate to live where i do, im just a stones throw away from the moors, beaches, beautiful national trust parks and some fantastic free outings.
i thanks god that he always provides for us. xx

Nice to hear from you Kim and good you managing to rake in money from eBay/surveys. I live near the beaches and moors too so we took my 21month old granddaughter to the beach last week on a sunny day. It took me back to when our two were tiny.

Weather dreadful in south west today so hope it is better where you are.

we were camping last weekend, really wild too as just a toilet and no other amenities. The kids looked like they had been up a mine shaft when we got home lol, but after 34 ish days of beach, muddy streams and the moors they were thoroughly shattered, but blissfully so.
Im just weaning the baby now too so im getting much more sleep now hes not feeding through the night and i always sleep better on a floor than a bed anyways so the camping did my posture and sleep the world of good.
got loads of ebay orders to process and a mammoth of ironing to do for a gent i know that pays me now to iron some shirts.
its little bits here and there but it all adds up in the christmas pot and the school uniform pot.
We had beans on toast three times this week to ue up whats in the cupboard, i think the kids would happily never see a bean again lol
Im making a slow cooker surprise for tea tonight (basicly anything i have that can be thrown together and mildly resemble a meal).
Ive cleaned my entire house, caught up on washing and its only 1 pm, celebrate all the little things and all that.
yours happily
kim and the clan xx

Hi Kim,

Did not know where else to post this as I cannot PM you either, for the same reason; it's saying you need to clear some space in your messages. :mad: Mine had plenty of space so dunno if this is an MSE blip. I did start a thread on the feedback board as I can't remember how to message them!

At least, as you warned me of this issue, I have saved said message in Word so will keep trying to send it. Crumbs!

Sorry guys but needs must.
