How could I be so stupid???

[zephyrcat]

I've done a really stupid thing! dp is away for a week so monday i did all the shopping etc, i've paid all the bills, paid the school, yesterday i was down to my last £5 til i get more money on friday and as the electric was running low i put the £5 on the electric key. Last night I realised I have forgotten ds's SMA milk!!!!! He's got about 2 bottles worth left! Mums at work all day so cant get to my bank dp is in a training centre in the middle of nowhere and the only neighbours we really know are away - Any suggestions??!!!

thanks a million sonnet - I've just sent misdee my address- she is going to put a postal order in the post - you're all so wonderful!! Dont worry about a phonecard misdee, theres not a phonebox in sight!! I've got free texts on my mobile so i can get in touch with dp just not phone him - which is probably a good thing because he'll probably shout at me when i tell him lol!!

With a 5 month old baby in the house forgetfulness is pretty normal!

u sure? no bother for me if u want one.

Or you could text DP and get him to ring the HV?

yep we'll be ok without the phone til friday - i think everything else is under control!!!

ok. will pop down there soon. will bribe the kids with smarties.

The offer still stands....
Forgetfulness is normal with a toddler and a baby!!
You know where I am if you need me!
sonnet xx

dont temp fate anorak!!!! They're all super arent they lisalisa? thanks for your offer too When i am actually organised i would do the same for any of you

well if you ever do forget nappies let me know as DD1 has free nappies and I always have a spare pack

Some cash machines have an option to top-up your mobile - all you need to do is enter the mobile number. If you gave some kind person your mobile number, they may be able to top up your mobile using their bank card. I would offer but I am in a very similar situation to you at the moment - dh away, no money etc

Hope things are going okay for you

Zeph - you do know this is God getting you back? You wouldn't be in this sticky situation if you breastfed

BTW - quite happy to bung you a tenner in the post if you need it. Don't hesitate.

Just in case anyone thinks I'm serious - I'm a bottle feeder and it's a joke!

Am serious about the tenner though Zeph.

lol i didnt think about it that way gobble!! Have been steering well clear of the fights on the bf threads!!! (Must admit you're right tho!!!) Thanks loads for your offer. I reckon we should be ok til friday when i get some tax credits (ooh whoopee!) I managed to get a few cartons in the end today and misdee has put a postal order in the post so i can get a tin tomorrow How on earth do you forget to buy milk for your baby??!! lol!

Wish I'd avoided those thread too but just got drawn in - arrghghg!

Glad you are sorted out but don't hesitate if you're stuck again!

BTW - forgotten milk myself at one time or other. Thank Gawd for 24 hour Tesco and plastic!

thanks

i used to forget milk a lot. oops. but we had a chemist on the corner and iworked at safeway so could always get a tin quickly. with dd2 i had milk tokens so used to pick up 4 tins when the tokens arrived.
