    A successful NSD today, and tomorrow I'm at my mums for tea, so should be okay.

    Hope everyone else is doing okay.

    SS have you got any vouchers if its just milk? I have cat litter to get midweek (forgot that the weather is warm so they need doing an extra time & hadnt planned for this so will see if I can pay with vouchers!). May hopefully stop naughty poppy cat pooing on the floor every night...yuck!

    vouchers ISOM? only tescos at a fiver a time and I don't want that much milk! also prefer to keep them for the deals. spending the smash won't seem as bad hopefully and will make sure it's just milk.
    euuuuhhh - to the cat! bad cat!

    Skint Spice i think In Search Of Me meant milk tokens that single mums get for help with fresh fruit,veg and milk maybe?

    Insearchofme How do you mean, what have i got in?

    I went shopping today and dont need any more food for the week but i keep thinking will my kids be bored if i dont take them out or spend any money doing something with them? We tend to go to town everyday even if its just for a walk about and only once last week i managed to spend nothing. If i stay in they will drive me insane! My DS goes to nursery everyday 1-3.30 except thursday 9.15-11 and then we busy all day thursdays.

    What about a library visit, this is really good on a day that isn't as good, or a park visit, You can take snacks for a little picnic,

    I managed to spend on food today, bad, I know! I got 2x 400g Cathedral city cheese as it's such a good offer at the moment. Also a large pineapple for 75p, also on offer. About £5 so Nothing else this week!
