Posted too soon I wasn't finished catching up
Seacow the iTunes password is one that troubles me every time 
Just realised I forgot to buy my weekly paper yesterday so €1.40 saved
Tayto I asked dh not to buy anything for Mother's Day also as I know he can't afford it, he also had cost of my birthday & Valentines (another one I wish he'd stop wasting money on) recently. So he's insisting we eat lunch out instead. I'd prefer him not to be spending money he can't afford, he speaks about making room on credit card for purchases as in getting below limit enough to spend again rather than my goal of clearing mine
we don't have a joint one so I can only hope he'll see the light eventually
Oh cag wow 
don't think that was in your plan for this year, a Christmas frugaleers baby they say you'll never regret the child you have only the one you didn't for those debating another child
Lonely well done on your cycle 🚲
I did my 10K yesterday in beautiful weather - 1 hr 16 mins I think (times not published yet & I was near back starting off & started my app a bit early.
We've a new big Lidl too need I did a shop there & I don't like it so Aldi it is for me 💯 %
Lidl bakery cookies are amazing 
Lonely great positives for cag there too
Em it won't be me anyhow dh had snip last year overshare/TMI
Need apparently Lidl have skyr yogurts, they sell quickly so never in stock when I'm in. Their toilet roll with pink flowers on it is brilliant & was the only one we bought for years but au pair could go through 3/4 rolls a day 
& it's too expensive to keep up with that demand by comparison we used 3 rolls per week until she arrived, ds also trained but he only uses toilet roll for #2's so can't have increased consumption by much & it goes down massively when she's not around 
Their massive jars of olives are good value too, they're a special item though so not always in stock
Meadow what age are the kids?
Volunteering as often as you do is brilliant well done to you & your dh. You're young your time for dc will come
My spends today were €1.90 toll & €45.45 on a fabulous lunch out after my race. Got a long sleeved tec top & a medal & some earplugs in our race pack, there were some vouchers to use locally but I don't live there.
We went to two brilliant playgrounds with dc & i got a little red from the sun. Then in evening we went to see Evita, my birthday present from dh & spent €40 on babysitting. Dh bought us pulled pork fries from abra €10 paid a toll & €2 parking. Not sure what he spent on icecream for dc while I was running
Cag would it not be better for council to know because they'd need to rehouse you guys in 2 years again & they might just make allowances to avoid that 
First pregnancy I didn't wear maternity clothes until the last 6 weeks when I went up two shoe sizes also, I just got stretchy primark stuff & smock type tops up to then. Second pregnancy I was in them by 10/12 weeks, at least I got wear out of them then cos dd came 2 weeks early so my maternity wear got only 1 month wear.
Meadow could you buy some jigsaws or Lego at charity shop?
My dc woke up early too wreck I'm mumsnetting in ds's bed & reading a children's ebook alternately, dh is lying in because he's wrecked from early starts at work.
Next week he goes back into a week of nights/week of days for a month. I love this pattern as he's off every Sat & I think he could get more rest if he worked it properly. He doesn't though he thinks he can do jobs outside all day & go to work all night.
Wreck how long until your trip? Are you getting excited about new job yet or will that only set in when you come back?
Strawberry good luck with interview
Em food looks fab I definitely think food eaten has a correlation on baby's tastes as they grow anyhow. I ate healthily in dds pregnancy, not quite as much in ds's as I felt so sick & he has a much sweeter tooth than she does. They also both love pasta cheese & yogurts like their mammy
