Hey so sorry for not posting for a while. Life has been so busy!So kids are back to school. I’m working sooo much more to make up the amount that ex isn’t paying. Apparently he’s been furloughed again.I’m working every day. The mealplan hasn’t worked out, I’ve had to go shopping much more, I don’t know what I was thinking with such a small budget, the children eat soooooo much.I’ve paid the rent and bills this month, I’m waiting for some payments to come in so that I can pay the £450 on the loan.
foodwise for dinners we have:
stew
spaghetti bolognese x2
chicken curry3 -
