    You are doing so well Missy :T Love all the washing talk, we've got no drier either and it's awful trying to dry washing at the moment, I think I'm going to have to stick the heating on later to clear some.

    I think I'm going to try shopping from my cupboards and try and save a bit this month :)

    Hey JWIL! Every diary I've read lately has washing woes on it. Everyone seem to be having issues.

    I love shopping to budget, especially with a crisp £10 note in hand! It's amazing how much you can get in aldi for so little. Fruit of choice will Obv be bsnanas this week!!

    Supposed to be at exercise class tonight but May is so tired feel awful dragging her out.

    Yep I do greenbee, I stick them in the freezer and use them for smoothies!

    Oh you poor thing, I suffer with migraines too and they are so awful. I hope you can sleep it off!

    Just in bed eating cereal but I have just put the pe kits in go wash so will have to get up before 9pm to hang them up in the hope they will dry in time!

    Going to be downstairs much earlier tomorrow, can not be that stressed or running so close to time again!

    My littlest has only just turned one and my eldest is 2 so youngest has bottles still. 2 cups during the day and a bottles at night, occasionally one during the night if he wakes up. My eldest just in cereal and a drink of am evening and occasionally one during thr day if he asks for it. Water rest of drinks.

    Sounds like my day Missy. Ted is being a pain in the bum lol did take him to the drs and he does have an ear infection but its meaning long nights and days with him as hes sp emotional , bless him.

    Did manage a no spend day though:) im hoping to avoid thr shops until Friday now xx

    Oh bless Lauren poor little man. I hope he feels better soon, but you absolutely have my sympathy. I've been there and it's not fun! I didn't realise yours were so tiny. I would just give as much milk as they can drink being that small. Mine are 4&5 so don't need as much.

    I am aiming for a NSD tomorrow, and hopefully another wednesdsy and Thursday. Need to try and make my 5!

    Still super pleased with my shopping bargains. I will do this! Super tired really wish I didn't have to wait for washing! My quick wash is 15 mins ish but only spins at 800 so everything is sopping wet so you have to wait for another 12 mins for spin so I might as well put it on a proper wash with a proper spin for 40 mins! Might make a cuppa I guess.
