Well done to DS1 Wannabe - that is such lovely news.
Your meal plan looks yummy- your smalls eat a fantastic range of foods. Mine went through various picky phases when they were that age, although eat anything and everything now x0 -
Fantastic news about the wee yin
Over the moon for her
She will be SO happy :j:j:jBUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
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.

What fab news about the swimming lessons and such a lovely surprise for her
The meal plan sounds great, you feed your smalls very well indeed.
Hope you're looking after yourself amongst all this xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Great news about DD1 swimming lessons. I bet her face is a picture when she hears her name called in celebration assembly. Is DS playing at school or is it somewhere else you have to go to. x0

Congratulations to DD1 - fabulous news.
And like others I note that the smalls eat, and very well too, but you don't often say that you are eating. I know you don't always find time for yourself but you must eat so you are strong for them and for you. Also for your anxiety as low blood sugar does nothing for anyone.

Lovely to hear about DD1 and the swimming lessons.
Ditto for having a word with school about pulling DD1 out of lessons. It's a boundary issue that needed sorting.
I can't believe how well you have done with that credit card so far. Long may it continue!
Things might not feel in your control right now, but my word, you are doing brilliant things with the things that you can control. And as none of us can control everything, anyway, that's the best that any of us can do, isn't it?! :rotfl:Debt: £11,640.02 paid in full! DFD: 30/06/20

Thank you for all your comments about DD I will probably need the tissues :rotfl: I think she will too!
The older two aren't fussy, youngest is but it's expected. She will eat bits of all on the menu plan though so she fits in there somewhere.
I do often forget about myself
Thank you PB couldn't have attacked the CC without help But it's a huge help and it will such a relief when it's gone.
Thank you again for all your comments and advice
