Good morning everyone hope you have been enjoying a lovely summer. Things have been extremely busy in the ipie household with 5 of the children off school who need entertaining and working too I have negelected my little blog of late Well now I am back to it my blog helps to keep me focused on stretching them pennies.
I have actually come in under my shopping budget this month by £69.81 though there is three days left till the new budget begins and have accumulated 40 tins of baked beans not much but its a start and will hopefully contribute towards reducing my December budget freeing it up for Christmas, I think constantly not having to buy things for packed lunches has helped reduce it completely. Though are diet this month has not been as wholesome and nutritious as i would of liked to be honest . So my target for September will be to provided healthy packed lunches, stockpile and stay within the shopping budget . So come on give me all your ideas for CHEAP healthy packed lunches. food shopping should be easier this month as the little darlings are back in school in 10 days time!
Lots of expenses this month too still have to replace bits of the little darlings uniform and desperately need a tumble dryer mine has broken beyond repair. Now using a tumble dryer may not seem very moineysaving but there is far too much laundry in our house not to have one despite using too clothes airers and line drying when ever possible its just not enough. Think am going to have a very lean month in september.
Were off to the local park this after noon for a healthy picnic and a few games (determined to get the kids exercising for a n hour a day ) Then off to work for me . Hope you all have a nice bank holiday x
Catch ya later
