Pants and chickens

Hello readers how was your weekend ? We had a lovely weekend here at Tilly Towers. On Saturday Lee took me and Brandon out for some lunch and he treated me to a luxury pedicure at a beauty salon. They had an offer on so it worked out a little cheaper than it would have been normally. I never have beauty salon treatments as I always do them myself at home so this was a real treat for me and although it's not something that would see its way into my budget it was lovely to feel pampered for an hour. So Mr if you are reading this (as he sometimes does lol) thank you so much for my little treat I loved it. We had lunch in our favourite local sandwich bar and I had my usual £3.50 mini breakfast (why Mike calls it a mini breakfast I have no idea as its pretty darn big lol). We then spent the evening watching films together and enjoying each other's company. Sunday was all about working as a team to get on top of the housework and we all pitched in and had it done in no time.

Today I popped into town to pick up some more pants for my little poop machine (you may remember me mentioning before Brandon has toileting problems due to his autism). We go through a lot of underwear with Brandon and his issues. Sometimes I'm able to save them but more often than not it is just to bad to rinse out and save so they end up in the bin. I have been told on occasion that he should go back into nappies but at seven years old I see this as a major step backwards as at times he will use the toilet other times he forgets. I buy cheap basic pants for him from asda 7 pairs for £3 and today I got him 2 packs so that should last him about a month. I also picked up 10 packets of smartprice mashed potato at 28p a packet. It is the yummiest instant mash any of us have ever tasted and at 28p a pack is much cheaper than I could make it for.

I also had a look in the butchers to see if they had any good deals on and I was not disappointed.....

4 Large chickens which should have been £20 in total but thanks to the offer I paid just £9 which works out just £2.25 per large chicken and each chicken will make 2-3 meals.

All bagged up ready for the freezer

As we walked past the discounted book store I saw this book in the sale in the shop window. It will really help with Brandons home education as history is not one of my strong subjects.

£3 Not bad hey ?

Finally a random picture I found on my Kindle that made me smile as I hope it will make you smile to.....

Isn't she the cutest

So readers how was your weekend ? Did you get up to anything exciting ?

Much Love
