    Whoop Noddle score in and up 7 points. Small I know but all moving in the right direction. My cc and loan haven't updated totals since Sep so hopefully they will update next month and this will make a big jump too.

    Hey guess what.....he's here :0)

    So they called yesterday morning at 9 (as we were heading out the door to the hospital) saying can we come Friday instead as they were busy. I was really upset so went up to bed by half 9 I was having contractions every 3 mins so jumped in the car for the 45 min drive and he was born at 11.40! Madness but we are all happy and healthy. Me and DP decided to stay the night and have some social time with him then we will head home in a couple of hours to introduce him to DS1. Then the fun will begin!!

    No really money spends to report we've just used them money is been saving up for car park and snacks and should be home today to a fully stocked house and a nice chilled out weekend at home. X

    Thank you everyone :0) just waiting for the discharge papers then it's home to meet DS1!

    Spent some money oops £84 on a nutribullet we've had a few cheap blenders over the years but the motors have gone quickly. So we've bit the bullet...literally and brought an top notch one. DP is awful at eating fruit and veg but will have a smoothie before work and I'm keen to get back in shape after baby so we though it wasn't the right time to invest and get back on the smoothie train. I think you know your old when you get excited about a new blender. I'm also eyeing up a new rug and toy storage unit £250 for both aghhhh! These can wait.........can't they? Aghhhh
