I am not going to post pics of my stash. I dont want you all to cry about how dismally small it is. And for the next couple of weeks it is hard enough stretching the budget for all of us to eat let alone buy nappies. No wonder I have shrunk. I dont know how people survive that rely only on Centrelink payments, i swear they havent doubled in the last 10 years yet the cost of living has. Sorry, will stop my whinge now.

Man I wish things would dry!!!! Sarah has run out of sposies and all the clothies are taking at least 3 days to dry! so the night nappies have all been used. dont know what DH put on her tonight. How do you fold flats for night use? i have tonnes of flats not many covers and no sposies she can use. Thankfully Em has enough sposies for a few more days. I hope I get enough money this week! I am so over being broke! wish the army would sort themselves out coz if they hadn't stuffed us around so much we wouldnt be in this situation!

The car we put a deposit on is an essential atm, It will halve my petrol usage, and is easy to park in the city. and the work i do needs me to use my car. I just wish the tax would come really fast. Knowing that there is money on the way doesnt help me right now when I desperately need it, and if I cancel things like the phones and internet, the cancellation fees are too high to pay too, so they are cheaper to keep on in the short term. So yeah, not buyng nappies until the tax arrives now. and what I did buy a couple of weeks ago is already on the way. I would love to look at the records of what has been the centrelink payments over the last 10 years and prove to the goverment that the increases dont match the cost of living rises. I am just so angry that everything has happened the way it has, with both of us being in and out of work and there not being enough to go around. and to top it off the place that had offered me a job couldnt gove it to me because the fees that the temp agency wanted to charge him were way too high, and not in the budget, so they did me out of a full time job! Thankfully they are doing what they can right now because they know how desperate I am, and even though there is not much work available, being tax time, they are getting me to do some mundane stuff in their office for a few hours in the morning, which I did on Thursday and Friday, and am doing tomorrow.

Now I have probably said way too much about our financial situation but I really needed to vent and it is nappy related in a way. Everything is just getting on top of me and Im not eating properly so it is getting to me more. DH just wont stop eating me out of house and home! he has eaten all the groceries I bought on Thursday out if boredom so I am creating some foods that are very light on ingredients wise and lack things like protien and iron, but they still have some good stuff. Just in case you are worried, the girls are eating fine, they get lots at CC and are eating whatever I can scrape together at home, and I am having their left overs.
