My World And Yours!!!!


To be Iron mummy you need a case of beer cigarettes and a rubber mask.
Than you can concor your budget get the washing done and fix the poo mess on the floor left by a desperate 3 year old.

My World And Yours!!!!

Not that i want to bitch to much.... (ahheemm) but i dont think the average uperclass or high middle class family really gets the issues of little or no money.
They have a new Coles (Feed your family for under ten dollers) thing they have been promoting of late.
My issue with this is its a Far's!!!
Its not in any way for ten dollars. if you count all the things you have to buy to make a parsley crusted chicken schnitzel with sweet and sour cabbage.
Do they realise you will have to go out and buy the whole item and not just 125mls of Coles red wine vinegar? in the catalog its $0.75 for 125 mls of the stuff!! whos going to be able to get that amount of it? and the eggs......one egg.. thats works out to $0.14 . who the fork is going to buy one egg???
If you Truly want to get a dinner for under ten dollers get a scoop of chips at the fish and chip shop. hey or get 500g of mince one onion (yes you can just buy one onion) and a bag of spuds. Look if your lucky enough to have something in your pantry then thats no worries be imaginative. meat and pottato.
(sigh)
Iv decided that i may have to get some sort of work.
if i can find a place to put the baby get my licence learn how to drive again find my way around the cost and into town i could go to coles HQ and ask them if they need a hand re writting there ten doller meal thing.... erk.
My first comment is ....... "I do not like or even appreciate the health benefits of caned Tuna."
You cant lather it in creamy sauce or cram it in a sandwich to make it taste anything other then tinned fish.

Now my reason for eating it.
1. I can not afford good food.
2.I asked for help and beggars cant be choosers.
3.All tho there is some disagreement to it I'm sure i will grow up big and strong if i swallow.

Its simple really I'm a New Zealand citizen living in OZ and my red ruby slippers just arnt getting me home.
I am a mother to 2 adorable kids , both smart and good boys.
One of these was born here in Queensland.
My partner Who is Australian convinced me i needed to move to Queensland in order to better our lives and be able to see his Children again . (will get to that latter.)
Its just with no money to start a life and no real evidence of who you are here its allot harder then we.d expected.
The only work my Partner gets is casual, even if the employer is fully aware that he may work there forever its still five to seven days a week , they would rather call it casual. ergo my Partner gets sick or for some reason there is no work. we go without.
I Stay home and look after the 3 year old and make lunches in the morning for the 10 year old and clean wash and have panic attacks at home where its safe.
