Hi everyone :wave:

Thanks for the kick off DNMS!

Big hellos to everyone else!

I'm just trying to sort through our spends but OH has gone and done it this time... Bought something at £800 (!!!) and was going to do a money transfer and then pay it off, but alas, when he came to do the transfer (after buying the thing) the deal had expired... So now we've got an unplanned £800 spend this month, but in good news we have less credit card debt...So I'm trying to suck it up and not get too annoyed. Thanks to YNAB I should be able to juggle bits and pieces I guess...just not what the money was meant to be being set aside for... Bleeding heck, I've just reconciled our budgets by tweaking a few little categories and we've still got £6.5k saved for yearly expenditure/mat leave coverage. :eek::D
Here's me:
- Ordered reusable wet wipes rather than disposable - v excited about not having to use wet wipes :rotfl:

That is the kind of thing my OH would do :eek::eek:
What are reusable wet wipes like? For nappy changes I guess? I confess to buying a bundle of face flannels from the market and use them to wipe mucky children's faces and hands - they don't like it much, but then they didn't like the wet wipes either :rotfl: They get thrown in the washing machine after use. I still use ordinary wet wipes for GS's nappies though. When my children were small, we used to use damp/ wet cotton wool, but it wasn't very handy when you were away from home.

Ds1 came home from school, slumped on the sofa with his ankle on ice and was asleep within minutes, his dodgy foot has taken its toll!! He slept for about 20 mins then woke because he was hungry (teenage boy = always hungry!) He came and looked in the fridge, announced there was no food in to eat. He is now happy as he's tucked into a big jacket potato with some chicken breast I'd coated in fajeita spices, tomatoes, sweetcorn, peppers, cucumber and lettuce (he's since added a dollop of brown sauce as he didn't fancy salad cream tonight....strange boy!)

Its been quite bright here all day, managed to get both lots of washing dried on the line. Most of which has now been hung straight away, just a few bits added to the ironing pile. Its now come over quite dark and we're forecast a heavy downpour, I'm hoping that we have the rubbish weather now and that the summer holidays are nice and dry as its much cheaper for me to keep two boys entertained if we have a warm summer!

When mine were in nappies I bought a stack of flannels from IKEA and used them instead of wet wipes. We dampened them either under the tap or we had a small bowl of water when at home, when out and about I used water from my (refillable) water bottle. We just washed them along with the nappies and fleece (originally a blanket, cut up) liners.

Karb beef sandwich, yum. I can't remember when I last had 1.

Yeah, I've just bought some bamboo flannels... Wash 'em, take them out the WM wet and instead of drying them lock them away in a plastic tub/bag. Some people soak them in camomile tea or lavender water but we'll see. I'm just so excited because we have hardly any waste today :T
