    I haven't got cornflakes or cocoa or I would be tempted to try this for the boys.

    Just for info hidden, if you end up being the perfect housewife when you are working I am going to be so depressed. When I look at all the things you do I make myself feel better by thinking that I can't do it all because I'm at work all the time, so if you do it all, I'll have to try :rotfl:

    Haha told you Australian crunch was catching :rotfl:

    I'm doing the finishing touches on the paint so I can fit the carpet tomorrow :D

    Just need another £7 in amazon vouchers and I'll have enough to order the last of the bedding and things all from voucher's. I'm sure DS will need some money adding to it as I won't have as long to 'save up' but if I finish the girls room and all its cost me is my time I'll be happy :cool:

    Finished reading your diary! You are an inspiration! :j

    Can't believe how much you've done. I've been decorating this week and I must confess I'm not very good, but once the furnitures in no one will notice!

    I really do urge you to go into school to ask about free school meals for your DS - no other kids will know he's on FSM, it will just be known by the teacher and there will be a code (FSM) in the register. I'm pretty sure you will quailfy if you earn under £16k.

    I'll be having a go at the Aussie Crunch later as I have a couple of bakes planned for today.
    I'm assuming its ok to use butter instead of marg?

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
