    Looks like you've done a great job on your monthly spending (or lack of!).

    I'm another one who enjoyed giving birth too. I was absolutely dreading it and was prepared to take the whole medicine cabinet of pain relief, but I didn't need it in the end!

    We had no internet for 24 hours at work! It left me at a total loss and I missed out on the No7 Xmas bags :cool: had just got to the checkout and it went down :(

    I suppose it saved me £13 and as there were no distractions I got my Land Law test done and it's now been sent off. Just all the coursework to do now.

    I've been good and brought lunch to work twice this week :) While they've been healthy there are apple danishs and sensation crisps in the office which cannot be resisted...... :EasterBun

    I'm sure you'll find that there is some legal precedent requiring by Law (common or otherwise) that the consumption of crisps and apple danishes is compulsory and non-consumption can carry a stiff sentence......;)

    OMG Radish!!! you are being sooo good :A

    I've helped eat more crisps today DansMum so I won't get into trouble today ;) Am off swimming for the third time this week so at least I'm being healthy with the exercise at least!

    Just popping on to say that I finally cancelled my saving account with ING. :) A whole 8p is being sent back to me...ohhh, the riches :rotfl:

    Had a nice lunch with a friend today - spent £7 - and am off to the pub tomorrow for a friends birthday. Will be a cheap night for me at least being AF and have decided to drive so I can toddle off to bed when I want and leave DH to party (he does like to dance :D) Am a little worried about going to the pub as its likely that my old friend will be there (who told me in one message that she was a great friend to me and then in the next told me to never contact her again *rolls eyes*) If she is it's going to be awkward :(

    Will let you know on Monday

  • Radish - i have only ever gone AF for any length of time when i was pregnant, and i think that is a rather drastic measure for me to try again. ;)

    Sml - if the friend is being awkward just give her a wide berth. Don't let it spoil your time out. Hope you have a nice time.

  • Hey Smlsave,

    I thought you must be having your 20wk scan soon, you're a couple of weeks behind me aren't you? How are you doing?
    I saw you said you'd subscribed to my diary. I started another new one!! If you look on my post history, you will see it on there x

    Bit of a grumpy SmlSave here but only as I've got a sore throat and a headache :( am just feeling sorry for myself.

    Good news is that I've been on a first aid requalifiacation course for two days and passed :T

    The Maternity account will be getting £350 when DH feeds the joint account :j

    And we have two months with no Council Tax :beer:

    I have my scan next Thursday LittleBit :) Am very much looking forward to seeing bubs again.
