mummy saving for a debt free day!

mummy2mygirls

He only wants one as his mum and dad just went and got one yesterday so he wanted to aswell!! doesnt like to feel left out lol.... He will have to wait a long time before we can get one, he has a ps3 so thats more then enogh to keep him busy!!lol.

The buggy board will be for the mamas and papas pushchair i have got, i might only get one of the boards and not get a double buggy but im not sure for the times when dd2 is tired or a bit ill....So if i get one i will get a cheap one as prob wont use it to often..... will wait till nearer the time and see how much dd uses her buggy... the swaddle robe is more to make things easier for dh, we swddled dd and he could never get the blanket to go properly so i always had to do it so thought it would be easier, but might ask some one to get us it when baby is born, instead of newborn clothes as we have loads!!!lol.
The feeding bits, i do need some bottles and also some bits to help with the breastfeeding(anything to try and help me be able to do it!!!) we have got our strealised which was only used for dd2 so might be able to use that again...
would be great to have a baby shower and get lots of nice little baby bits...

Today i have done my free scratch - 10p- checked online banking, the £40 for the car tax has come out of my account so should be of the cc soon...
Tried to do some surveys but didnt have much luck - ciao always make me do it for ages before telling me im not suitable etc. and i tried to log into lightspeed and they are saying my email is not on there database!!!not sure what thats all about!!Have done all the daily clicks i can find on quidco and topcashback!!
Have lost the abbey cc, which is good to stop we spending lol but i cant look online and see whats going on...will have to look everywhere later to find it.

I think i will go shopping to day have lots of presents to buy! have my dads bday on new years day, the girls each have a party this week and then its dd2s bday!! But i hope to get some nice bits in the sale! so shouldnt cost to much.....Also might take my cookbook back so might be able to get myself something little and will have a look at washing machines!!

I have booked for someone to come and have a look at the dishwasher tomorrow afternoon, she said he will give a estimated quote for the job and then if we dont take it we have to pay £20!! so i hope he is cheap!! I have heard people in the village talk about how he is good etc so thats why i booked him, i dont want to waste £20 so he better be good!!!!

Fingers crossed you get some bits in the sales, I know mothercare have a sale on and I am sure lots of other places must have baby things too.
Kiddicare are having an online sale http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10751&msg=
I got loads of bits from here as they were reasonably priced without the sale..

good luck in the sales, i am avoiding them like the plague as get the "look how much it should of been" mentality and go mad!!!!

if you have a game shop near you, your hubby could exchange his ps3 for a wii, may have to top the money up a little?? my brother did it with his ps2 as he didnt use it and wanted a wii.

i am still none the wiser with the daily clicks on quidco, think i am just thick though and they are staring me in the face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have now joined littlewoods and butlins bingo (they are both done by the same people though but they accepted my details) so hoping that they both add up quickly!!

i might check out kiddiecare, thanks pipsmum, might get some weaning bits cheap as will be starting that in the next month or so.

hello, i have been on the gc for the last two mths and come in under but this mth ive knocked £100 of so we will see!

Dh would never change his ps3! loves it to much!! also i got it for him on his bday so he better not!!lol. He does trade in games sometimes.

on quidco i just go to the price comparision sites (the high street web and kelkoo) and you do a search for something. can get 10p a day doing this....

We have stayed away from the shops so far, found a nice washing machine on internet that i think we will get, found it for £50 cheaper then in curries and commet and can get cash back, so going to check with mum if she will transfer the money to my account then ill buy it everylittle helps with the cashback!!

Hi Mummy
Hope you have had a good day?
I am registered with quidco and really dont get it!! Can never find all the clicks and things you guys mention, will try and find kelkoo though as that is an easy few pennies i can earn, is it naughty that I do these sort of searches on ALL the cashback sites!!!
Hope you can get your cashback on your washer.

mummy2mygirls

I do all the kellkoo and highstreet ones on all the cashback sites im registered to as well!!!(well try to, make sure i atleast do quidco everyday and then try and do the others!!!) and always search for the same kind of things as i just cant think of new things!!

Just had a little panic about when baby comes and dh having time of work! He will def have the two weeks off as he did with both the girls but we wanted to try and not have to use it as holiday but it means him only getting something like £107 a week for two weeks!! which if baby come when it should it would be one week out of aprils wage and one out of may so would be easier but i bet baby is late and both weeks will be out of mays and then we wont have enough to pay the bills etc, so im going to have to try and get extra money for that as well now!! will get him to do ANY over time offered between now and then and also he might have some other work aswell so if he does it will all have to be saved!! But if it comes to it he can have one week as holiday as they did that before for him.... so will also be throwing money at that......


Need to earn more!!!!!!!!!!!

i had many panics like that when expecting ds2, and they only got worse for me as i did nothing about it untill my maternity leave was upon me!!!!!!!! (yep, very stupid!!)

least you have a few months to put some money aside..................... but i agree with needing more money, although when i had more money it still wasnt enough!!! hope to have learnt this time and be more resourceful.

Wont OH get any Paternity pay? I think so long as he has worked there for a while he is entitled to 2 weeks 1 week full pay 2nd week at a lower amount.
My OH wont get any paternity as he only started at the company in August so he is having to use holiday.
