The top 10 ideas for saving money on your grocery shop  If you are anything like us you will find you are spending far too much money on food.. We are a family of 8 and a cat it dose not have to be expensive if you try these top 10 tips  1...                          EAT IN ALL WEEK !!                                     We will eat 5 deliciously quick and easy meals through out the week.  Our kids are at school they will only have a small lunch. So when they get back to us of a night they are starving. They all love a hearty meal of an evening after schools done. Of a weekend we can splash the bit of cash we saved through out the week so we can have a takeaway or go out to eat or a movie lots of family fun time....  2....                                  Have a meal plan!!                 We as a family find if we do not do a meal plan we will spend near £200 a week on food shopping.

ALFIE'S ADHD

Image
ALFIE-LEE HE MADE MARIO OUT OF PLAYDOH WITH NO PICTURE TO HELP HIM So my son Alfie-lee has recently in October just gone been diagnosed with ADHD. Although it was a bit of a shock we still expected it.We had been on the ADHD pathway since his diagnosis of ASD in February.When we went to see his ADHD doctor i thought it was just to tell us about the pathway and he had more appointments. As anyone who has been on the ASD pathway will know what i mean with all the appointments you have through out the diagnosis. I dont think i'd ever seen that many professional doctors before we went through that. I think it was about 4 maybe 5 stages of the ASD pathway and constent appointments at school too. So when we went to his FIRST ADHD appointment i wasn't expecting the diagnosis there and then.  Our appointments for the pediatrician doctors are based at my doctors surgery so in a way its a good thing we are there a lot so Alfie knew the surgery it wasn't somewhere new.  Anywa

MEET MY BABIES

Meet my Babies !!  I thought i would use this part of the blog to introduce my whole world. These six make my life  Nicole is 16 years old her birthdays is in July. Her interests are music playing video games especially dead by daylight and danganronpa she also love anything Japanese and is learning how to speak the language. She also loves vines. Nicole has recently just been diagnosed with OCD. Me and her dad knew it would happen her anxiety has been through the roof lately. Being 16 in this crazy world was enough to be anxious about but this was different. She would obsessively worry about anything and everything. She would constantly wash her hands her work at college was suffering she had to have it perfect and was taking far too long about it. This would lead to her being upset because she never had it done on time. Nicole had problems making friends in year 7 and she got so stressed and anxious we had to home school her for her own mental health. So
