mariagti, when are you starting TTC? Hope you don't expect to fall within one month like lots of other women expect, lol.

Well done on your savings!

mariagti

Awww sarah you can do it, im very strict on myself....hardly do go at all!! Are you saving alone or joint?

Thanks Fairydiamond, I dont have a date when i plan to start TTC yet.OH has job worries as there cutting staff there atm so baby plans are on hold. Im a member of babyandbump forum and have read up on everything TTC so no i dont expect to fall pregnant straight away once we start. It would be nice though hey!:)

I only came off the pill a while ago after being on it 10 years. I was lucky enough to have 'real' period the next month, i was told it could take a few months for cycles to get back to normal. So im happy about that anyway!:)

We are saving joint, planning on saving £400 a month each so thats £800 a month going into our savings. Although this month I have provisionally only put £300 in as have quite a few things coming up this month x

mariagti

With £800 a month you will have £10k in no time! There's always small ways on here to make extra money too. Good luck to you hun. x

Afternoon,

Its freezing! I woke up to ALOT of snow this morning! After digging out my car, i attempted to drive to work but got to the end of the road and drove back home again after seeing 2 cars on the side smashed up. I waited 45 mons then tried again and made it to work safely. Although half an hour late, so wont get paid for that:(. Its been snowing the whole day since, and settling on the wet surfaces too!! I shoved the snow off the drive this morning and it back about 3 inchs again already!

Oh well, i had some fun in the snow too before i went to work and made a mini snowman:D

My ebay items sold for £25 after fee's etc.

My wages went in today so i paid in the full £160 into my ISA!!
New ISA total £2960;)

I didnt go into work today! My car wouldnt get off the drive and no public transport is running! I rang my boss & he said no-one had gone in today! ha!

Well done on your new ISA total, do you think it will be full before April?x

mariagti

Your lucky sarah! Where abouts do you live? Will you get paid still? No buses running here either apart from the park & ride ones. They all stopped at about 3pm so i feel sorry for anyone who went into work coz how will they get back to the cars at the park & ride?????!!

Yeah my ISA should be filled by April if all goes well......touch wood. Im hoping to get it full by mid March.

xsarahahax

I live in Croydon. Im not sure if we will get paid, we will prob have to take it as a days holiday!

Ah im so pleased you would have filled your ISA by then! I also re-read some of your old entries on the post and want to wish you luck with concieving (i have so spelt that wrong!!) x
