Thank
I'm in the process of building an emergency fund so I'll see where I'm at once I'm done ebaying ( I'm notoriously slow at getting round to putting things on there!)

So today was a slightly more spendy day than I had thought it would be - but still within reason.
Had a lovely walk with my kiddies and friend over the barrage in cardiff. On the way over my little girl twin fell and cut her lip and bled everywhere! Had to stop and sort her out, before going for ice cream (planned), then a trip to Tesco express to buy Calpol since she was sore and looked like she'd just done a round with in the boxing ring (unplanned!). When we got there they only had the branded version which cost nearly £5 and I needed to buy an emergency pack of nappies - and of course they only had pampers! So what should have been a two item trip costing under £5 cost me £10! Since having children this is the first time I've ever ran out of nappies, which isnt bad considering I have twins now!
Got a £15 of petrol to keep me going for work etc... so really today was only £10 over what I planned, but still annoying when I'm trying to be good. Although these things do crop up - next time I'll be ensuring there are no injuries when we go out. Not sure how I'll active that though!!0
