    I have had a peek at the Guardians website now. I will have a deeper read a bit later. Had a slow start sitting on here, but its all systems go now. (Apart from going out). time to do my Mr A order.! DS came home from school for lunch and I didnt have anything really in. (In this weather too!), he ended up with a syrup sponge and instant custard!! Least it was hot for him.!!
    Really must get my cooking head on, and start to plan meals alot better, have slipped recently!!

    Thank you. Yes I have seen this site, Adarynefoedd, posted a link at the weekend.! I have added it to my favourites list and will be reading more over the next few days and see if I can find the right questions to ask!. :T

    Well Mr A cancelled my delivery today. They said that it was too tretcherous on the roads. So they have cancelled all deliveries. Which is a hell of a bind as we are out of bread, milk, and a few other major basics!.

    Scratch head, twin 2 went to the shop willingly, even in this weather? So we will have bread and milk at least. She wont get anything else, she wouldnt be able to carry it all back.

    £5.24 spent on Bread and milk. Suppose its better then the £125 that was due to go out on Asda. mind you, it will be a few days now before I can get another delivery so we will be on frugal food measures for now. Not that it will harm me, I have got quite lazy with the food. Just worried that we are out of potatoes and low on eggs.!! I must learn not to let my basics get so low now, as this snow has really put the nation to the test!!!

    Just getting my self ready to go to the gym. I am not thrillled but I know I must do something to get the joints moving. Tension was high when Biggest of Mooloo got home last evening. I had overdone it in the morning, picking up babies and doing housework, retreated to my room at 3pm and by 7 the place was trashed!! The twins let the babies reek havoc in the front room and they left a hello of a mess in the kitchen just heating up a pizza!.
    This morning has not been that much better.
    I have left instructions to be done while I go to the gym, but wewill have to see if anything is done.
    Have been agreed ESA at £60.50 and Child Tax credits at £40.99 and still have Child benefit at the moment of £20.00 and expected £48.00 child maintenance to live on. £169.99 thats for me and DS and my share of the bills etc. We all pay £50 a week into the household account for them. So we should be ok till DS leaves school anyway. But if it gets any lower I think I may be having a pink fit! This is a large house and there are 7 of us living here now. !
    Time to go to the gym.

    Back from the gym. I am now aching in most places!. Taken my lunchtime tablets so cant take anymore. Went to the council to try and sort out the messup with the Council Tax benefits, and to also explain that I had yet another change in curcumstances and whether or not I had to fill in the forms all over again. Lets now wait and see what they come up with next!.
    BF has cancelled coming over tonight, so be a long week by the time I get to see him again. How people with loved ones that work away cope I don't know. I would hate it.
    Babies are screaming better go and see whats happening...
