A fresh start on the long and bumpy road.

Was in bed for 1 last night (this morning).
Dh bought bread and spent £8.94 altogether. Being the weekend there's still no updates to the bank/debts.
Sorted through ds1 drawers today and bagged 2 black bags to go. Children fed and will try a bit more of the living room.

Good morning. 
DH spent 5.79 last night on ham and some drinks and snacks for his locker.
He did bring home 18 cobs (or whatever they're called where you are 😂) 2 bags baby salad, 2 bags watercress/spinach/something mix and 2 bags of sprouts. They  all free for staff. It I can't use them, they'll keep the rabbit happy for a while.

Our energy deal ends in a couple of weeks so had a look at that last night. Nothing comes close to the deal we've been on but looks like a move to igloo will be the cheapest when the deal ends.

Spent yesterday decluttering the unit under the TV, it hasn't been done for years. Lots gone in the bin and I found the cable for the wii that dd3 has been asking for for weeks, I know what they'll be doing today (DH has already been playing it this morning, he had to make sure it worked!). There's 1 drawer left to do but it's the worst one, not looking forward to it.

Good evening.  NSD2 of Jan today. I've spent all day running around the table in circles between the 3 younger kids trying to get them logged on to various classes and video calls. I'm definitely no good with technology. Glad they had laptops last year as all had online classes at the same time.

Ds1 starts his online college tomorrow.  I'm starting to think it will be a bit longer than the 2 weeks.

Stew for tea, using up the last of the potatoes, will be enough for tomorrow aswell.
Not much else to write today.

Another NSD here. Will need to get bread and some bits tomorrow. 
Leftover stew for tea for most of us, DD2 will probably have soup or something with toast.

Spent most of the day at the table with the DC. Did manage to clear a dishwasher full of pans/tins after DH fixed the shelf I've been trying to clean everything before it goes back. 3 cake tins binned as rusty but I have more cake tins than I thought, must use them more often 🤣

Your on such a roll for 2021.
Thinking of you and your ongoing washing machine 😂❤️

Definitely not much washing going on at the minute 🤣
Been stuck at the table with the girls all day again. It's all supposed to be live lessons so they should be independent but I've had to sit with them all day. As they're in different bubbles they even have breaks and lunch at different times. Think I liked it more when they could just get on with the work and get it done.

DH had to go shopping today. He spent £26.26 on food and £4.50 on kitchen roll.  I was going to update my signature but it seems to have disappeared. 

DSIL dropped their Christmas presents today and because they were later she also bought a huge cake! It looks gorgeous, there goes the diet 🍰

Meatballs and pasta for tea tonight, one of the easier meals as the fussy DD2 will eat the Meatballs but with cremated waffles (she will only eat them very well done and crunchy and if they don't taste of potatoe) or fries.

How funny I only eat waffles like DD2 and even then its only really if I have too 😂😁

charlies_tribe

It's the only form of potato DD2 will eat, she won't eat pasta or rice or anything either so most her meals are with waffles fries or toast. She is so hard to feed (she eats the same thing most days, but doesn't actually want it because its the same but won't try anything else).
I had planned jacket potatoes today but We all ended up with pizza and fries.

Was just a quick post to say it's been another NSD. DH did go for a sack of potatoes but she had ran out. He will try again tomorrow. Hopefully jacket potatoes for tea tomorrow. 

No change in the bank account either but it is Dh payday tomorrow. 

Right DH and the DC have all gone to bed so I suppose I better feed the rabbit and follow.

£8 on a sack of potatoes and DH filled the car up, not sure what he spent as bank showing as £1 but will be about £50.

Jacket potatoes for tea with cheese/beans/chilli.

DH is at work tonight so going to pick up all the pet foods while he has an extra discount and will get some bits to last until the shopping arrives Monday.

Absolutely nothing else managed. I haven't left the table all day. Need to have a busy weekend of catchup.

Bless you.. Not going to lie homeschooling must be earth shattering stressful.  and of course everything else would go out the window. 
You will get there don't worry
