Busy Bum.

I struggled to make a dinner last night because our cupboard is so bare. I do a big food shop once every two weeks because i like such a big mix of food, but recently I've been doing a top up shop in the second week always costing more than it should! So this morning, i'm going to do a proper food shop and think more about the meals than the price. I had to pre warn Jared about the cost which he agreed too. This was the outcome; And it came to £126!! I can't believe it! Food is tooooo expensive. I'm dreading to think what the VAT increase is going to do in January?! Ethan was my helper today too, selecting out some bottles of wine; Hahahaha! He was very helpful. When we got in, it took ages to unpack and put away and he was a proper little helper. Until he found the yogurts and hid in the corner eating all 6 tubs. Monkey! I checked my facebook quickly and noticed Jenny, a lady who lives round the corner was desperate for a babysitter for her boys while she attended a hospital appointment within the next half hour. So for the next few hours Ethan had a playmate. He played well too, i love it when he behaves. We watched Monsters Inc together and i made some banana bread. I have never been to a hospital appointment and been seen there and then, poor Jenny was left sitting for over an hour before being seen. After she picked Finn up she invited me to go to Adventure land with her later on! I got on with some odd jobs of cleaning up and packing some ebay items before heading to adventure land for 2.30pm. I forgot it was half term so it was packed. I sat with Jenny and her two friends (they were very nice!) while Ethan played. One of them had just had a baby girl and she was tiny. The mum that is! It was like she hasn't been pregnant. I still feel nervous just letting Ethan play because of his previous track record but it was without incident. Yey. I left him play for a few hours while i chatted with Jen before having to go and get Jared. He had left his phone at home again so it was a case of guessing when he was coming. As we sat and waited, the effects of sitting still for just two minutes were having it's toll on Ethan; Nah night.

Our cross trainer is broken again (grrrr!) and Jared has had enough of getting it repaired so we opted for buying a new exercise bike from Argos. They seem to be selling like hot cakes at the moment so i reserved one on Sunday night and must get it by tonight. It's not bad either;


I picked it up while Jared waited in the car- it was so heavy. As i was setting it up later, an advert came on for a free gift card for any thing bought over £50 starting tomorrow. I was gutted! Stupid timing! I was tempted to take it back and buy something else tomorrow but it isn't worth the trouble. STUPID ARGOS!

Philly came for dinner while her family were in London - i did a curry with banana bread for pudding. I have just rushed all day today and feel exhausted. Jared wanted to show Philly the first episode of Fringe while i built the bike. Bed time couldn't come quick enough!
