Ok managed to hang the washing put the bins out and do the babies beds. Still so much to do!

Does it have to be done today?

Ok need to find some motivation from somewhere to paint.

Not the end of the world if you don't. Be kind to yourself.

Ah thanks for the kind words. I decided that some things could wait. So I did 2 hours of painting.

Everyone will be having porridge for breakfast, I have left over chilli for lunch and shepherds pie for dinner.

Have lots more painting to do. It really helps if I break things down into smaller sections and having a distraction, so I had the tv on. And I only gave myself the chimney breast and the cutting in of one wall. I will try and roller one wall and cut in the other today.

Just trying to get smalls ready for school. Need to go to Aldi and get some sweet potatoes today.

I used to do a challenge of live on £10 a week. But that was for a different diet and often Im cooking for 4 now instead of 3. I wonder if I could bring it in at £30 a week for future?? Worth thinking about....

Ok been the gym, done lots of work and found out from the accountant what I have to do to sort benefits out. I am having a very rare half an hour of peace. Im sitting watching friends and drinking tea. Got to pick babies up in half an hour from school.

Hi miss shoes and wannabefree, thank you so much for checking in with me. Well Money is still super tight, am Moving house soon, so bills should go down but so will my tax credits. Have been shopping in Aldi, and this last week making sandwiches for lunch instead of buying them, and buying whole chickens and streeeetttccchhhiiinnng them. But wow summer holidays are already causing me issues. No free school dinners and everything seems to cost an absolute fortune! And they are already driving me crazy. The first few days were too hot to come out and now it!!!8217;s pouring with rain! Have dragged them off to soft play this morning just to get some sort of peace. So I have my earphones in listening to the archers! Going to go to Aldi in a bit and get a chicken to cook for Sunday lunch. Need to do some washing and hoover in a bit.
Shopping list:
Milk
Bread
Cheese
Chicken
Potatoes
Veg
Cereal
Tuna
Honey
Porridge
