50 weeks apart, you and your kids are so fortunate Robyn.  :)
We wanted all ours close, but our smallest gap is 19mths... :(
Our eldest daughter had two sets of twins within 12 months. That's a pretty small gap..... Plus two other children.....

Now that would be having your hands full - bet you were called on to help out a lot Jude.  How old are they now?

With a super busy house :o
I've done the supermarket shopping for the week. I must admit that I snuck a couple of treats onto it too H - a tub of icecream and some Havati cheese. My food snooping came to about $60. Stupid iPad....food shopping ;D
The lady in front of me at the checkout spent over $275', so I felt pretty good coming after her. I will still need to go to the market on the weekend, but so far, so good.

Yes she is busy but very happy....well this past week was tough as all six kiddies got the flu as well as Anna and her husband :( but they are all pretty much over it now.  She has a nanny three days a week, which is a huge help.  The first set of twins are 2 1/2 and the second set are now 18 months. They also have a 5 1/2 year old and a 4 year old. All stunning looking and lovely children. Haha I'm not biased!  She had to sweet talk her DH into a third baby, and she snuck in an extra, then she broke her ankle and they bought a bottle of champers to celebrate when that was whole again and.... Bingo... Next set of twins!

My shopping this week came in at $112. Keep going slightly over - had to buy face cream and then got enticed by some nice looking sea scallops......

I raced into the supermarket yesterday to buy some plain flour, I've been doing so much baking I'd totally run out!  Anyway while there I bought, 2 kg flour, icing sugar, cream, purple cabbage and a whole duck!  I know not on the list but it was market down and I was feeling adventurous.  All up $21.00

PS.  We've decided now that we love duck.

I'll make up for it next week! Unless they have duck again!   ;D ;D

Jude I am always amazed at how well Anna and Ross cope. I would be tearing my hair out now. Give them all a big hug from us.

DH was away for two days . If I do not go shopping tomorrow then I have spent only  $ 46.91. Not making much headway in the pantry.

I am up to $124 & still need a few things.

Thinking we might be living off party food for a couple of days, so next week shoud be in at under $100 :D, i hope so.

Gert, you amaze me with your low spend.

I amaze me as well and was quite alarmed ar how much I bought I didn't need or  use. I am thinking with my head now and not greedy eyes.

I am being really careful and asking me if I really need it NOW.
