Yay you are back ! . Sweet cones for birthdays instead of party bags are a great alternative. Hope you get sorted with it all.

Oh goody, you did come back. Lovely.
Sweet cones sound like a great idea - something I've done in the past was buying a pack of books from Book People, Horrible Histories or Roald Dahl, and they got one of those and a bag or two of Haribos. Went down well.LD 12.25 £1600.00/£0700.00 Fn £274.00 LTFn £525 LLTFn £300

I think sweet cones are the way forward. I've checked and I do have more than enough cones, I might even pop some corn and do popcorn cones too. I also have tags and ribbon and things to make then a bit more personalised.
Oh I like the book idea too though.
Youngest is okay, still sleeping all over the place and nocturnal it seems. Mixed in with the weird behaviour side effects. Joyful
DS has caused an issue today however and we are NOT friends. He has had his game removed and he knows I mean business. Naughty boy!“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Sunday lists.
Went grocery shopping. £48.83 spent. This amount so I could use the £12 voucher from Mr Sains. I stocked up on dairy free milk/chocolate/baking things/tins etc. I still plan to spend £6-8 on fruit and veg in the middle of the week and I really want to get some more Chicken but maybe not this week.
I need to top up Electricity and Gas. I still haven't
Both kids need money for school trips will sort that after my cuppa and come and add to my list. I will also need a bus pass this week to attend some appointments for myself.
I need to write my meal plan. We have plenty of things in I just don't know what :rotfl:“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Welcome back lovely :A
BTW I have presented the details of the issue to sourcrates and a more condensed version to enthusiasticsaver and I believe that they fully understand how serious it is...BUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP 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.
