Food on a budget

bangers and mash

i know magic i could do with a big win on the lotto 2 lol it's hard i do 2 jobs and work 7 days a week it's gotta b done even tho i'm always exhausted plus my kid sis is getting married on 27th nov bens birthday 4th dec and bleedin xmas omg i could go on kids have already produced all the xmas lists which r hilarious the things they r asking for but we can only do r best :o)))

I'm sorry but kids have to realise if you haven't got it, they don't get it. We have an only child and tried to give her what we could but she never, ever, got everything on the list. Truth is they are really happy with whatever you can afford, it's the magic and love that go with the pressies that matters. We all have dreams don't we, so do kids. Just do your best for them. It's amazing what you can pick up at car boot sales and charity shops - there's no need to get yourself into debt. Kids will enjoy whatever they get believe me.

i have to disagree with you there bib ,in todays world the kids are not happy with what theyve got .they always want something better you see it in the way they just toss the present away once the wrapping papers off and its on to the next present ,

I thought this post was about food not xmas or am i wrong lol

The emphasis here is obviously providing a well balanced meal while controlling the costs.

From a quick and easy snack, to a full main family meal, share some of your favourite food ideas with us all.
