Have been awol for a bit, sorry. Just getting on with things, been very wound up about money, we need so much stuff, but I cannot buy it as I have no cash. For the last few years I have simply been putting these purchases on credit, but I cannot do that now, as I am maxxed out. So I feel super poor, but in reality I'm just not buying on credit anymore.
So anyway, spendy, but from my current account, D of E things for dd1 (expedition looming) school shoes, easter eggs plants
So, a real food budget for us/month is roughly £550. £400 was way too optimistic, and we basically ran out of everything with a week left to go in the month. Again, feeling blue as no snacks in the house, no treats for lunch bags, that sort of thing. I have pulled myself together.
seacow enjoy the time left you have with your dad. It's a beyond shit situation, the only thing you can do is keep on keeping on.
Such cute babies! How they are growing. We (me and my mum) have had many of the ikea high chairs. You can get little inserts for them if you have a dinky-do too. We could never fault them, and lots of pubs and cafes have them too, as they are so easy to keep super clean (even for me).
I've dramatically upped the amount of work I'm doing. It's a lot more hours (painting, while watching Amazon prime), but coming up for double the money. Plus, rather than ordering more yarn I fished out the blanket squares for dd2 I started last year and am getting on with them. It will be a huge blanket. I need to build a contraption to block the squares with.
Up to date, I've really missed you all this week. Happy Easter
