Bank Balance £0.92
Pharmacy for stronger than off the shelf painkillers Beanie. Worth every penny today I have managed to get everything done I needed to.
More spends however £3.50 on children's paracetamol and ibuprofen. DD is burning up and has a headache. She's not feeling good. We just went to Mr T for it as it's the nearest place that was open and does a cheaper brand. She wasn't impressed at walking out for medicine
Other two bathed and reading/drawing in their bedrooms now and DD bathed and feeling sorry for herself watching TV.

This week reminds me why I need to build an emergency fund/pots for things once everything is sorted “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
An emmergency fund of even a few quid is always good.
Not long til March though & you can put a few quid away for that

Not long indeed
Have put DD in my bedroom (applied a red cross on the door) and told the other two to stay away :rotfl:
Really really hope she doesn't pass it youngest, that would be a total disaster

Oh dear hope DD has a good sleep and the meds kick in for her.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Oh no, hope it's just a 24 hour thing. Let's hope she's selfish and doesn't want to share her germs.

I think it's just a cold. It's never 'just a cold' to youngest though.
They've been designing birthday cakes today - hope they don't get their hopes up I'm not that good :rotfl: They had fun though. They are all on countdown now :cool:
Have lifted chicken out the freezer for tomorrow. Will make some into 'chicken nuggets' for the smalls and make some spicy for myself (because I really could eat takeaway so this is the next best things :rotfl:) Will make flatbreads and have with salad and things.
Meds have kicked in on DD and her temps come down. She's got warm juice and is drawing in my bedroom. She's up late but it is weekend!

I realise you said you were in Tesco (but my Tesco has a proper pharmacy), but just checking you have heard of the Minor Ailment Scheeme? It’s not available in all areas, but you can be given free prescriptions by the pharmacist for under 16s XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
Best win so far - holiday to Florida0 -
I have heard it but I don't know anything about it Lucky. I will have to have a look. I usually have both sets of medicine in but forgot we had run out before Xmas so hadn't got any at all for DD.
Thank you HH
