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.

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.Sealed Pot dec 08 - dec 09 so far £27.67, Live off £4k Spent £330.20 GC £1,200 for 2009 Spent £50.78 PaD so far £650.07Debts: L/woods £154.00 C/One PAID O/D £649.90 Next £299.95 O/D PAID Gas £72.60 Electric £155.73 Mum £640.00 Orange £490.320 -

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![SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]
