Dd1's school trip needed paying for today. I've already paid the deposit. The balance needed paying for.
I carefully planned the week we were going to pay the balance to be 'no bill week', I would have enough to pay the balance, do our usual food shop and then have about £30 left over.
That was until I got sent home ill from work, with no pay (that's a whole other thread, my boss royally takes the piss out of zero hours contracts. He just gave me zero hours for the week I was sick)
I had to ask ex to contribute to the school trip. Being a complete and utter tit he told me he could not give me cash because he had no guarantee it would be spent on food for the children and not "animals, fags and drink" so he told me he'd pay for an online shop for me.
He wanted to go into the 'my favourites' bit and just buy my usual weekly shop for me, however I don't shop online so there was no favourites. I had to tell him what I normally buy.
Obviously we always buy lots of berries from the grocers at the top of the street when they're going off and lots of seafood because dd2 doesn't eat meat or fish and I frequently use 4 different kinds of disinfectant for various areas around the house bleach, I use bleach and washing liquid for almost everything
The children each like a different cereal each and I don't like cereal, I eat seeded bread and tuna for breakfast I don't eat breakfast. Of course the children only like white bread.
I now have more berries, bread, cereal and disinfectant than I'd usually use in a month.
Smoothie anyone? The blender has just been sterilised
