DH has bought himself a new camera though *rolls eyes* It takes HD short films and will be great for when the baby arrives - so I've been told;). I couldn't argue about it too much though as he'd actually saved for it himself but still *shakes head* we've just bought a car and the camera basically costs 1 months repayment on it.
Yeah, but lovely baby photos are something you will treasure forever, long after the money's forgotten.
Only 16 working days left :T

Hi Cath and SMF2
Time certainly does fly by when you look back at it!
My Mum has now decided that I must be having a boy as its being difficult. Midwife is worried that it's breech so I'm off to the hosp next Fri to be checked out. I got all emotional and upset about it at first but have calmed down and am trying not to worry. And here i was hoping that I'd have an easy birth to make up for a sickly pregnancy :cool:
Living room has almost had its second coat of paint (only two walls to go) the paint smell is getting to me now so I'm off to have a bath while DH washes up.I admit to spending £20 on pizza tonight, it would have been cheaper to get the M&S deal but i was trying to be good :rotfl:Guess i failed

I've just gone over the spreadsheets to see how were coping. I've looked particularly at the grocery spends for this year so far and have to say that I'm quite pleasedThey come out as:
Jan - £157.01
Feb - £176.65
Mar - £65.57 (we were on hols)
April - £202.40
and this month is currently at £150 so while we could do better we haven't gone over the budget of £200p/m :beer:
Now if only we hadn't just bought a car, a camera, a laptop and were going on mat leave :rotfl:
Feeling better today though so we're going to have a go at another coat of paint on the cot bed and I'm cooking dinner for DH and BIL.Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck
