Well that's good, isn't it? Lets hope things get sorted out properly at work once and for all, and not just you, but the others who are affected as well.
I can't really comment on Lidl's prices as I have a raft of food allergies, so I can be quite limited by what I can actually buy there. However, my mum always maintained that some of their things were better than others, and I'm inclined to agree with her. I always check their fruit and veg over very carefully to make sure no rotten stuff has been included - you would be surprised! Yet there are others on this site who don't seem to have any problems.Sealed Pot Challenge no 035.

Never been a Lidl fan myself though their bakery is good.

Finally home, got to car park after work and I had a headlight out so I thought I!!!8217;ll pick LO up from nursery and head to garage. At nursery it was staff I didnt recognise who told me that I can!!!8217;t take a shop bought cake in for LO!!!8217;s birthday. When I asked a member of staff who is normally looking after LO!!!8217;s class last what day was best to bring in a cake for LO!!!8217;s birthday (not all the kids are in every day), she said which day would be best and never mentioned I wasn!!!8217;t allowed to bring a cake in and I have photos of LO and a birthday cake in previous years from nursery. I!!!8217;m afraid I was quite curt with this member of staff. The cake has been bought all ready and wasn!!!8217;t cheap(£12). Not happy. Apart from this cake I have the rest of the items to make the family cake. It looks like OH is working LOs birthday so it means after the disaster he caused at Christmas (getting drunk and threatening my parents and his own adult son) it means he can!!!8217;t ruin or exclude my parents from seeing LO on her birthday.
So after the mess at the nursery I went to the garage and although it cost me £18, they couldn!!!8217;t have been nice. Not sure I came across the most sensible, probably neurotic and close to tears as that!!!8217;s how I felt. LO asked if I was ok as we left the garage.
OH had the cheek to ask me for money today, only a couple of pounds but after finding out it was for junk food when he had a perfectly good packed lunch I said no. After what he spent money on last night I am still so angry with him. He rushes into things not thinking of the consequences and then loses interest in what he!!!8217;s bought. When the VR stuff came out he had to have the best and most expensive, it got used a handful of times. He!!!8217;s now realised that the hair stuff he!!!8217;s ordered has some serious side effects which he didn!!!8217;t bother researching before he ordered it.
I feel drained and one side of my throat is scratchy but not sure if I!!!8217;m just hyper aware. I just want my appointment to hurry up and payday! I get paid Friday, so glad for emergency fund but it!!!8217;s taken a battering this month with the factors bill, my tooth and now a bulb for my car. I have 66p left now in my main account.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.
