He's only been waiting for 30 mins in line! And I bought myself a blankie...
MMM green and knitted! DS and girlfriend came too...no they hadn't been in the woods! They went to see the sheep!
DD came to see me today so I had to start rolls when we came home last night, but its worth the time as DD was happy!
And she bought me my belated birthday pressie!

Late start may budget

I reckon the sun's setting on my sanity!!
So...I'm glad the short part of LBTL is over! I felt deprived and miserable..and I put others before myself...isn't that what being a mum is about? Must be a love thing:)
Anyway...29 days left in May
£3 a day = £87
Add 3 days with Jones the steam eating here £3
Add DD and her OH visiting £2
Yay..£92 for the rest of the month!!
And DS's G/F for 5 days another £5
£97!!
I may ignore some things that are small and on the shelf. And if I've grown it I refuse to count it. Thats just my love I'm adding to food :-P
I'm sticking with the mealplan I wrote before...hopefully. So todays shopping list is...

And did I have chocolate fudge brownie for breakfast???
   Nope! But I did have a piece after lunch :D And boy was chocolate good!
Today we took one of dads tractors to a rally:) first one of the season for us. makes me a little sad, had a little tear in my eye when I explained who I was to a very nice steward.
So...polish..
Then load her up...
Drive to the rally and off it comes again!
All ready for the rally to start tomorrow!
Stradsett park, sunday and monday:)
Today I spent £19.43/£97 in aldi.
Chicken. milk, bread, tea, marg, veg, sausages. Alot of rolls as we're having a picanic on monday :) (the food at rallies tends to be high priced and this way they just think I'm being cute wanting a picnic)
If OH decided to buy nice things for a saturday night I shall let him!! :D And if I find things at the bottom of the freezer they are bonus items! Today I went deep and found 4 burgers..so I just had to buy an extra pack of rolls for tea! I'm not gonna be too hard on myself!!
