nsd 4 for me yesterday, mostly becuase i ended up in hospital for the afternoon with suspected pre-eclampsia, however all is fine and i was sent home with no concerns - hoping Elvis makes an appearance soon!

I'm pleased to hear that all was ok

It will be another NSD for me today, OH is having a bad day, so I cannot leave him to get to the shops and I don't think that there is anything that I am really desperate for.

Tea tonight will be leftovers from the freezer, so things like shepherds pie.

Hi All, late in starting as I am just back off on my holidays. Before I went I didnt have much in so its going to be a bit higher then I would like. But need to keep it low as the council tax demand has changed/been amended and its gone up from paying £0, to £29 to £59 and now I am back to a £94 a month bill!! need to look into why thats happened as well.
So can you september £300 FOR MOOLOO.! THANKS

I know I am on the annual grocery challange, but thanks to being VERY sick while pregnant I have no idea how much we've spent... first because I hardly ate, and DH cooked EVERYTHING for him and DS9. I've not even been able to come online i've been so very poorly! After that because as I started to eat I could only eat 'certain' things and we were shopping almost daily, then because I had cravings... LOL! What a mess! I'm nearly 23 weeks and finally had a meal plan and shopping lists in place for the last TWO weeks, but still get odd cravings and send DH out to the shop!

I think you can safely say I am about £150 - £200 over on the food shopping since I got poorly, and still going apx £10 a month over (instead of £40 - £50)!

So please could you remove me from the grocery challange as I try and sort myself out... once this month is over I might re-join for October and see if I can get back on track... because it's rewarding to stay in budget

julie hope things improve for you soon and i hope your pregnancy settles and you and bump now have good health


Puzzlebubbles glad to hear you and Elvis are alright and i hope 'he' puts in an appearance soon

sproggi hope your DH is feeling a bit better now and today goes well foryou both

just been shops spent £11.15 toilet roll, veggies and a couple of pillows.

need to do tomorrows list and get tonights tea sorted - got to check what veggies are left and think of something to do with them. probally be veggie soup or casserole of some description

Quick update from me - topped up some storecupboard bits and toiletries at Home Bargains and bought some fresh milk today - total grocery spend £14.33 so the monthly total is creeping up but I think we'll be on budget this month (and we need to be, thanks to expensive car repairs!)
