Banks computer just decided to reduce my overdraft so the £72 worth of shopping i had ordered to be delivered today won't be because i have £24 to spend.

They are looking into it and ringing back later on. meantime i need to go and get some bits before lunch as my cupboards and fridge are literally empty. (defeats the object of internet shopping if i have to walk a mile to the nearest shop with baby and toddler in tow Angry)

Any ideas what i can get that will last me as long as poss? I have a coup[le of things in the freezer but nothing that will make a meal. I also need nappies and sainsburys ones (my nearest shop) aren't strong enough to hold my youngests wee, eldest will have to become night trained when his pull ups run out.

So (sorry to ramble) help me out! my toddler won't eat pasta/rice/eggs,

glad you managed to sort out some food and nappies. sorry I wasn't in a position to offer any financial help. hope the mince is less dubious than at first sight!

MOM I bought the wrong size of nappies yeaterday for ds (4 instead of 5's) and didn't realise till I broke into the packet.

MOM - only just got online now.
No, money. I can't do anything with them.
Mail me your address and I'll send them 2nd class if that's ok with you (if your not desperate for them that is Grin)
