Hello havent been able to get on the computer for a little while as the charger broke!!poped to pcworld today to look at a new one (as i cant live without my computer!!) And it was £80 :eek: was not liking that, then some one told me they were on offer in Maplins, found it and it was only £35 in there so much better - but i couldnt help but think i could get it on the internet for cheaper or with cash back, but as i couldnt get on the laptop i had to get it from the shop! So glad i got it but a extra expense i could do with out!!!!
I got all the money out of the account today so i have lots of cash but thats all we have and when its gone its gone!! but dh noticed it and thats never good as he will prob want some when his has ran out!! :rotfl:
Paid some payments today so thought i would update my paid of list for myself to look at:
LMB 11/11/09 Total 30978.40 28729.60
Kitchen 7000 6796
Capital bank 13908 13069.44
Abbey cc 1734 1686
Tesco cc 4500 4324.16
SCS 566.40 354
Overdraft 2500
Overdraft 2 50 0
Curries 800 0
I have paid in the tax cheque so when it clears i will move it into isa so it doesnt get spent!!
Had a funny turn today and my vision has gone all funny!! Couldnt see anything and was all blotchy (if that makes any sense??) then it went after a while and is just around the outside of my vision and have a horrible head ache, i was taking dd2 to the drs so thought i would mention it and he has said its prob just a migrain but if its stillt he same tomorrow then to go back - so it has taken me ages to writ this tonight and to read everyones diarys.. My dr is useless though so will try and see a different one tomorrow if i still have it! (ages ago, he told me not to worry about how high dd2s temp got as it didnt matter, (which i knew it did so tried to keep it down) but she still ended up having a convolsion so i am weiry of the advice he gives now....) will check again tomorroe as i know it can be something to do with high blood pressure (he didnt check it or look in my eyes or do anything just said its prob a migrane) im sure its fine but best to check it....... Along with my back ache(baby is back to back!!) and spd im falling to bits!!lolGC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr.

well i just had a long relaxing bath which atleast helped with the back pain! the head ache isnot to bad atall really now only when i cough or something so dont think its to much of a worry but my eyes are still bad like i have sleep in them on something which is making them blurry!!! i thought if its bad tomorrow ill just ring my mw and ask her if it could be BP as she will just do a quick check for me to save going back to the drs... will see how it is tomorrow - hopefully it will be gone but earlier it gave me a real scare! in the middle of the shops with dd2 thought she was going to run away and i would see lol!!
and yeah all this pregnancy lark is hard work!!!
of to bed now to see if it goes away! speak soon

hello, well my vision is a bit better but still not great and i have been sick a few times today - so still more of the joys of pregnancy!! lol
My friend had her baby today and it has kind of shocked me into the fact that this baby is coming and not that long, we have always been around the same only her being 6 weeks ahead! Well now her baby is here it means im next!!!
Did my pad as i was paid some money from quidco! so put some intoisa and some towards the cc. Had the tesco shop delivered today and spent a fortune £127....but it included so much and now all we should need is meet and fruit and veg from the market for the rest of the mth......apart from the things tesco didnt have to deliver!!
Tomorrow i need to get some fruit from the market as i didnt order any!!
Anyway not much more to update - so im of to bed now as i feel poorly ill......GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0 -

the milk man was stuck out there for ages!! Dh made them some tea and helped them get going again etc..
We had some earlier in the week but todays is mad!! so deep and you cant tell where the rds are and the pavement starts etc, have had fun playing in the snow, but im feeling it now!! the kids loved it and went down there friends sledge and got me with loads of snow balls!! did chuck myself back going to do a snow angel - was one of them moments when you dont think about being pregnant and then soon remember!!
Dh is cooking home made burgers and chips tonight to save me from cooking - only thing is he uses the same mince as i would for atleast two meals! but atleast i dont have to cook!!
Did my pad which is £3.41 some to paternity and some to abbey cc! Got over £20 ready to go as a overpayment for the abbey card but just wanting to get the statment before i send it now... Cant wait to have a look later as i hope with the overdraft £500 i transfered and all the extra payments i have made i should be nearly under the 1k mark...(but £500 worse of on the overdraft...) Will check it later and see....
think the tax cheque will clear tomorrow so ill be able to transfer that and see how much we have all together for when dh has time of!!
My dad was asking if there is anything he can buy for the baby coming, so need to see what little things we still need so he can get something - dont want to say something boring like the matresse or a breast pump!! as its nice for people to buy the nice bits - if that makes any sense...but ill see whats needed.
Can smell my yummy dinner so better go and eat it up!! yum yumGC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0 -
checked online banking and the cc is at £1013 and the new statement has been issued so i made the extra payment i had ready of £23 so that will bring it under the £1000 (for now.....till next mths interest...) but i will be making more payments through the mth hopefuly so if after next mth it stays under the 1k ill be happy... (which i hope it will!)GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0
