  • Thank you, shall have to wade thru the many posts on there and try and find it LOL

    I got mine from Tesco, it was in the actual store in the "sale" section. I hope you get one hun.
  • Hello, firstly congrats pipsmum on the birth of Aiden. :)

    My little one has been suffering so badly with her teeth for the last 3 nights, screaming for 2 hours and not going to sleep for the last 2 nights and waking in the night. Ending up in my bed, which means i don't sleep. She is such a good sleeper, usually goes to bed at 7pm and sleeps till anywhere between 7am and 9am, so its wearing me out!

    I finish my job working from home on Fri, not really excited about new job....keep thinking of all the negatives and not positives. Haven't got a start date yet but think it will be before end of Jan.

    Money wise, really struggling at the moment, using the credit card lots for everyday things. It doesn't help that other halfs hours have been cut, leaving us £300 less a month. Grrr

    Smarties xx
  • I have made £55 on Ebay tho. Which is a bonus as the money is needed for bills.
  • hello smarties! well done on the ebay sales. means less on the cc!! imagine how much would have gone on your cc if you wasnt on here!! i know i would of just spent loads without thinking!!

    hope your dds teeth are a bit better soon, its horrible when you cant help them.

    speak soon x

  • Thanks mummy, DD only screamed for 30 mins instead of 2 hours tonight , bonus LOL
    Yes i am determind not to use my CC ne more when i get my new job.
    How are you doing? xx
  • know the feeling smarties, think my ds2 is starting to get his top teeth now (only just finished with the bottom ones) and there is nothing worse than broken sleep.
    sorry to hear bout your oh's hours being cut, but we are survivors and somehow always manage with whats thrown at us! just think at least you are aware of how much is going on your cc and wouldnt be doing so if didnt need to. keep smiling hun, things can only get better.........

  • Thank you Rags - i hope your ds isn't suffering to much, bless him.

    Ok so i have just worked out roughly all of my incomings and outgoings for when i get this new job and i have more going out,than coming in. I thought we would be ok once i got the new job but we won't be. I am so down, i don't see a way out of this mess without getting further into debt.

  • there is always a way smarties, post the soa you have just done, someone else might see something you have missed............

  • Ok just worked it out again with a fine tooth comb, i "think" we should just about manage and if i sell on Ebay etc each month, that would be even better. I haven't included any bonuses that i will get from work and i have taken dp's cut hours into account.... anymore would be a bonus.
