Calling all you night owls

Lula-Hula

I'm good thanks,

I posted a question on the grocery challenge board & now kinda wishing I hadnt as sure they're going to get back to me & tell me I should only be spending £2.60 a week on food & using a mooncup (if you dont know what that is then trust me ignorance is bliss)

Anything good over in freebie land ?

morning Lula. I know what you mean about OS. I thought i was doing well on a £50 a week budget for us 3 but apparently its way too high.

Penguin - looks like i'm heading that way. BP was 112/76 at booking and has now reached 159/97 no protein tho so i'm keeping my butt out of hossie for the time being. I had pre E with toddler pixie too but i was overdue by then so they booked me to be induced and i went into labour that same day. I'm nearly 34 weeks now tho so only have to hold on a little while longer.

Piglet - thats the funniest thing, i really havent been doing anything. OH is on holidays this week so he's been on toddler duties, Ive switched to online shopping so i don't have that to deal with and in general the hardest thing i do is step into the shower.

Oooh Lula yes I do know about mooncup:eek:


Not a lot in freebies tonight....well not that i havent already sent for:rotfl:

And I think that will probably be £1.60 a week you spend-a-lot you!!:rotfl:

Oh no, think I'm going to be in trouble my budget is £50 a week & that's just for DD & me ( I like wine, chocolate & things that smell nice )

Maybe if I just dont go back there they'll forget about me or should I quickly change my name

Hey dont worry Lula when I first went on I posted that I would set my grocery challenge at £500.00 for the month and I think everyone passed out with shock - and that was me thinking I was being thrifty! I didnt have a clue! x x

Don't worry Lula - I also have expensive tastes in the vino department. The chocolate in aldi's and lidl is lovely tho and very reasonable. 89p for a 200g block i think. My OH is the chocoholic in this familly.

Oooh I love Lidls choccy it is lush!!!

Also love their choccy covered marzipan eggs.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm:D

Thanks Penguin,

that really made me laugh, spending £500 a month on shopping is one of the reasons I'm here now... used to do £80 a week in waitrose & thought that was ok because it was all on food, would then pop into tesco to buy cleaning stuff ( & dvds, cds, cushions, lamps ...) I am learning, slowly !

LilacPixie

ooo the marzipan eggs are yummy.

I think i am a moody git. I appear to be turning into my mother.
