Hi guys!
Bump wise every thing's great, well she is I'm sufferingConstant back ache, rib ache and kicks in ribs these days, waking up in the middle of the night with cramp, despite doing my calf exercises each night! Whoever said pregnancy was lovely eh!
DFW wise, I know that I have a long road ahead of my and have decided if I can take it week by week, month by month we will eventually get there and I will be then able to buy a nice 3 bed semiWell thats the plan.
Right list of things to do this weekend:- Pack up Tiaras already sold on ebay and get ready to post them during Lunch on Monday.
- Pop to QD and get more of them champagne flutes, they seem to be making a nice little profit on ebay - one has sold over 15 times what I paid
- Do Iceland shop - they say mums go to Iceland so I'm getting my practice in!
- Cook dinner for OH and his new business partner
- Throughout the day note down anything I want to discuss/tell the boys at dinner, if they want to start their own business - furniture restoration if any ones interested
- there is going to be costs involved and I am the one that will deal with these so want to know figures to the penny!
- Take photos of wheels and bike at OH mum and dads to pop on ebay
- Pop above items on ebay
- Check to see if Tesco shop money is on pre-paid card - this is the one downside to these cards transfer time is 2-5 working days
- and if it is do it through cashback site and stick to list!
- Weekly clean up, hoover lounge and bedrooms, sweep and mop hallway, kitchen and bathroom, clean bathroom and around sink in kitchen, have a quick tidy up and wipe down of work surfaces.
- Make lunch for tomorrow for me and Billy
But at least it keeps me from spending money on rubbish!

Ahh I posted a really long post yesterday and lost it so got in a paddy with the computer and ignored it all night! lol
Was looking through pockets in preperation for the washing! He is awful for leaving bits in there - I found two scrunched up tissues - ewww - £2 coin and various other bits of change, a wage slip and an estimating slip from work.
If I didnt, I would always be in debt cause Id have to buy a new washing machine once a month!
Any way lol....
I got all my items posted that I sold on ebay! Woo and even made a bit on postage which I feel guilty about :S
Had to buy nicorette patches last night cause I forgot to cash my prescription and there was no where I could do it late last night so thats £9 wastedAnd I forgot to make lunch last night and couldnt be bothered this morning so will have to dip into weekly spends a bit there... Not good.
Bad week this week but looking on the bright side only 7 and a half weeks till maternity leave!
