Finally home. Another day done. 9 days left.

Have to checkout on the shopping. Have paid the rest of the childcare £60. Not a NSD as I needed to do DDs train fare. Tomorrow will be DSs train fare. Then just next weekends train fare and that should hopefully be the last of the spending that isn't in the budget. I havent bought coffee. Proud of myself i was tempted on more than one occasion today.

Just going to finish getting everyone in bed Then make a coffee and catch up with the house work and things.

Not long to go now.

I agree Iceland is great, I've only relatively recently rediscovered it. Make sure you get one of the bonus cards if you don't already, they quite often give freebies on there. It's also pretty good value if you top up the card too, you'd get some extra cash, but I haven't done that so not sure how it works.

Evening WB Hope you've been able to get some help and advice regarding the council tax.

This will be your last week at hospital won't it. I bet it's seemed a long 3 weeks but hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end and you'll all feel the benefits of it.

I find Iceland good as well and I don't think you have to spend as much as in other stores to get free delivery? I've got a card and use it round up money. It's surprising how it mounts up.

Hope the week ahead is a good one for you all. xx

Thank you Tea

This is the last full week. Next Monday is the big review and breakdown of moving forward. Fingers crossed it continues as well as it has. It will mean a lot more of our appointments will now be closer to home and only the big stuff will need to be here.

So money in and out has all happened. Countdown to next month is on when things should be more normal.

I've obviously had the extra childcare etc and now £300 behind elsewhere but the council tax paid.

The food shops checked out. And the bank balance stands at £7.48 (This will go on a birthday gift and anything else birthday related for DD. Then I will do youngest and DS from next months)

The meal plan is complete and they have a good variety of things they all enjoy. Allowing for DD'S choice on her birthday and I can make her a cake etc all on the do list.

It's a busy week at school again this week especially for DD.

Hope you all have a lovely week

Sounds like you are doing well, Wannabe - I have no idea how you do it. I can barely organise myself!

Morning,

Another late one last night! It's definitely catching up with us all. None of us wanted to get up this morning. The weather didn't help!

The end is in sight and so far it's still going well. I'm really starting to feel hopeful this will work out and even though its not a permanent fix it will give us all some much needed easier months to have some happy times, some sleep! and a bit more of the normal things.

It's the little things that are the big things, as they say. I hope today goes well.

Small spends this morning as smalls needed 50p each for school. I actually didn't have it so have sent it across on parentpay. So £1 spends. There won't be anymore. DD has given me some ideas for her birthday so going to look in the Salvation Army to see what's in there.

Feeling a bit lost today. Youngest keeps dropping off to sleep and I forgot my coffee and book this morning. So eating into my data on my phone

Keep going WF - not long to go. If youngest is still asleep you might find the nurses have some magazines you could borrow to read?
