Thank you edwink and still_hopeful. I've not been great, soo tired and feeling sick. Not sure if it was a bug or the milk that I spotted was a week out this morning, it didn't smell bad but could tell it was turning. Felt a lot better today although still tired.
DH has bought the bits we've needed yesterday and this morning on his way home but I haven't checked how much he spent yet. DD1 rang and asked if he could pick her some kitten food up as she couldn't get any so I sent him a message with dog food, kitten food and milk on it. Got up to a box of kitten milk 🤣 I probably should have worded it better. DD2 doesn't even need the food now as she managed to get some from somewhere else and forgot to let me know.
Got a letter about DS2 pip today too. The one 2 days ago said they had enough evidence and were making a decision which made me worry, today was his decision letter. They could have saved paper and saved me the panic of wondering.
Need to get dd3 school shoes tomorrow as there's no sole left on hers and she waited till today to tell me.

Just a quick post as phone about to die.
Spent today getting ready for back to school and crafting a few presents needed this week.
Covid swabbed the kids earlier and now dd3 is sat with a nosebleed, suppose its one way of staying up.
Didn't manage to get DD3 shoes so her old ones will have to do tomorrow and we will go after school.

Eek. Not managed to post since Sunday or anymore NSDs.
Monday I was fed up of having nothing in to eat and DH just picking things up as we need them so I did do a big click and collect order for that evening.
Tuesday DD1 came and asked me to nip to the r@nge with her. I did get some cleaning bits and some drawer organisers for dd2s new drawers. Dd1 also gave me the £75 that she owed from before Christmas so I've put that away.
Today we have finally started emptying the unit! Over a year since I posted on here that we really didn't need it any more. 3 carrier bags of rubbish to bin and a black bag of clothes ready for the clothes bin. We're hoping to have it empty by the end of the month.
Today I ordered a present for DD1s boyfriends birthday. I bought them some knives when they moved into the house and he badly sliced his thumb within days, she mentioned today that he still won't use them, so today we've ordered him a pair of gloves. I Don't know what they're actually called, the ones that can't cut through, but they were only £6.LBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

Not much to update here, lost track of NSDs. We haven't left the house since Sunday as DD2 tested positive for covid and we've all followed with DD3 today. I've never felt so ill! DH has been really poorly too but he's also fighting a tooth absess we think. Luckily the kids seem to have a temperature for a day or 2 and be fine after.
I need to pay dd1 back for a bit of shopping she picked us up, we had a takeaway 1 day as I hadn't eaten for 2 days, didn't have the energy to cook, I couldn't even eat it as my taste is awful bur I think that's all spends this week.LBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

Sounds like you have all had a rough time lately. Hope you will all feel so much better soon. I'm sure you will have plenty of updates throughout the year so don't worry about it at the moment especially with feeling poorly.

Sorry that you're all going through a rough time .
I had jab no.3 😷on 23rd of Dec and , let's just say I'm not having anymore ! 😾🤬😤🤐
It was the worst out of the three so far .I'm at the opposite end as such as I don't see many people and never had flu jab before etc.
Hope you all get well soon ..2 -
Thank you both. AC I'm so surprised that we were both injected and still poorly and the teens that hadn't been jabbed yet got a few hours temperature. Day 8 and still testing positive but a lot better today. Dd2 is day 10 and still testing positive but she's allowed to go back to normal tomorrow!?!
Had a shop delivered this morning as we were running really short on food but no other spending this week.
It's my 'big' birthday on Sunday but Covid will save us a fortune on the meal my sister booked (she did say she would pay but I don't think she realises how much 6 grown kids cost in a restaurant so I had the money to pay it anyway) think she's going to try and rearrange it.

We I'm not doing well at the updating!I've had my birthday and DD2 has had hers. We spent way to much money on dd2s cheer competition at the weekend.Our utility bill is going to ride from 175 to 283 next month so need to get back on with the money saving.
I did pay off next, then had to order tge girls a coat and today I've ordered some baby tights for gd1 as dd1 can't get newborn size anywhere.
