    Thanks honeysuckle, the situation was only made sweeter by little miss may coming out and playing babies and helping me hang the sweet smelling washing. Little things!

    Sorry to hear of your health issues - just what you need!

    However, geting tested for a gluten allergy is a very good idea, and the thing that sprang to mind when you said you were pre-diabetic but not overweight. My sister is stick-thin, but she was diagnosed as pre-diabetic type 2, until they tested her and found that she was coeliac. Pre-diabetes disappeared overnight once she was on the proper diet.

    Since my sister, one neice, one son and myself all have problems with gluten, and my mother has had problems in the past, happy to help with suggestions if that turns out to be the diagnosis!

    Ok have managed to pay some bills today and deliberately have avoided Tesco. Absolutely have to get some fruit and milk tomorrow. Wondering if I can brave Aldi with the children.... need to start cutting back a lot.

    Hey sorry for being so sparodic with my posts! Having money issues. Need to sort out my self employment and the benefits that I need to change. Really need to do that tomorrow. PleAse shout at me if I dont!
    Have just been to Aldi. The first time in about 8 months. God knows why as it!s as close as Tesco, and so much quicker and cheaper!!!! Today I managed to get lots of bits, including soap, sun cream and fabric conditioner, 3 sauces, pizza, bananas, filled pasta, eggs, milk, butter, and probably more, all for less than £15.

    Bills arent too bad, and Im trying to be good with fuel etc. Costa is my downfall, sure I dont need it as often!
