Just for fun: A journalist spends a whole WEEK with her 3yo!

I thought we could all use some light relief.

Budget: Family fun for £10 a week

It's budget day on Tuesday ? Gaby Hinsliff gets a head start on austerity by seeing how much fun she and her son can have for as little money as possible

YY domesticslattern, that was the last peper copy of the paper I bought and I laughed the whole way through the article!

Didn't she deicde to use eco alternative nappies instead of cloth or soemthing, not pointing out they are twice the price of other stuff.
And her baby had loads of clothes for first 6 months and then nothing. vyer funny.

I hate it when they only do this kind of thing for a week - anyone can do a week - it is not an accurate reflection of living normally on a budget.. Although I hasve to say this article isn't as bad as some...
I did LOL at the trip to the optician - try having a smear test with 2 toddlers in tow and then you know stress

Yes, I did draw the line at taking my 2 preschool children to the FPC to see mummy have her contraceptive implant fitted a few weeks ago...

My husband drew the line when I tried to make us use old newspapers instead of expensive toilet rolls
