  • Well been to the shops today and got some more things so will have to update the sig again..... Think i am so close to the mth amount but glad i have gone for the yearly one as it will even out - had to get dog food today which should last a while now! Also got loads of nappies so they should also last for a while..Went to aldi and got loads of potatoes and there fruit and veg which was on offer, also got lots of fruit juice as i really fancy it all the time the moe and it was cheap there!! :) Went into town and didnt spend any money just went to the bank and left :)

    Well the coats were nice and clean untill we got about 4 steps out of the front door and dd1 fell over in all the mud!! Bless her she was so upset she had mad it all messy again!!

    Been to the bank and sorted out so i can add things to my isa now so i have put all the parternity money i have saved so far in there (not much only £38.31, but it all will help....) Also paid a extra £30 of the cc, £20 from my PAD pot and £10 extra for my pad today (i found it in a little bit of my purse so was very happy!!).

    done the scratch cards and got 10p again........will get to pay out one day..lol
    Check for surveys bit there isnt any! Also checked online banking and the tesco cc as im waiting for them to take of the interest so i know how much i have paid of...

    Oh and i also got my goodies from qype that i have been waiting for ages for!! There is a ipod shuffle which dh is looking forward to!! (Wish i hadnt mentioned it as i would of kept it for a bday present for him :p ) also a few other bits in there including a top, sweeties, teddies and a usb memory stick thing (reallly cant think if thats what they are called at the moe, baby brain!!!)

    Anyway best go and do some housework...

  • hello rags was busy writing my rambles and didnt see your post:D

    She is convinced she should only go for a wee in her nappy and thats where it should be so holds it for ages and ages and gets really upset till i put a nappy on her! So going to try in a min and have said to her about potty and toilet and how big girls go in there etc so will try again but if she gets so upset again ill leave it for a week or so and then try again.....might think about getting a sticker chart or something to help her, i think if she goes on it once and we say how happy we are etc she might be more happy about going on it.......

    Well done on Amazon mummy and Ipod is fantastic, but yes shame you didnt keep shhh about it and had it as a present for him. How did you get the Qype goodies? Not too sure what it is.
    Bless DD2 with the nappy, thats sweet.

  • thank you. I joined the site and you have to do so many reviews of places you have been etc, they are not offering the goodies at the moe but are offering a £50 virgin voucher....

    Well i have just spent half hr on the phone to abbey cc AGAIN!!! arrr, so i could activate the new card and also have to get new codes to do the online banking becasue i have a new card. Going to make sure i dont lose it again as it far to much hassle to sort it all out....

    Also made the min payment aas they wont take it out on dd as i have made the payment this morning so i rounded it up to even number so paid a extra £1.01 all helps..... :)
    Anyway better go and sort out the amazon book and do the school run....
