No Money Mummy to Millionaire Mummy!!

Monkeynut

Corrr Blimey - 80 pages later!!

Can't remember how I stumbled across your Diary Pips Mum, but over the last week or so I have actually read it from start to finish!! :eek:

I was interested in reading how you got on because we've been struggling to debt bust while I've been on Maternity Leave, and I can relate to everything you've had going on. That an of course I'm just uber nosey (although I prefer to call it inquisitive! ) and once you start reading about someone it gets a bit addictive.
It helps that you're all a bit nuts - and I do wonder if you are all still a bit stripey?!?
I was reading your Halloween jokes from last year to my OH as I was reading them last night, and he asked why I was on a Halloween jokes site already, and I had to explain to him that I was just under a year behind on someones diaryso was just catching up! Although he did then remark that "it makes a change from you doing bloody surveys"!!:D

So I just though that seeing as I had been so nosey I should drop in and say a quick Hello Rather than just lurking in the corner with my binoculars poised!!

You've done so well in my eyes, and I'm taking much inspiration from how well you've done, especially when on Mat Leave. And especially as your OH isn't quite on the same wavelength when it comes to debt busting, believe me I know how frustrating that can be. And in my situation that p!sses me off even more seeing as all of the Original debts were HIS!!

Anywho, I look forward to following how you get on now I've finally caught up!

OUCH, OUCH, OUCH! Painfully sore point!!!

Hi Monkeynut :hello: Do you have your new baby or is it still cooking? Yep we are all a bit barmy, Fay is the stripiest of them all!

It will soon be time for Halloween jokes again! I LOVE Halloween and was exceptionally naughty yesterday and bought a cute wobbly pumpkin man (yep thats right, dont have enough for food yet bought a pumpkin man:o)

Thanks for the encouragement, Im actually doing WORSE this year than I did last and I really put it down to the fact that I dont have enough spare time to come on here for some motivation now I am back at work. Rags and Fay are the best as they have both achieved great things:T

Friend 1 is still in the flat, he got another friend to have the other room. She moved in for 2 weeks then had a family emergency and had to move out again! So back to not knowing!

Not still cooking no - the timer on my oven pinged just over 5 months ago now. Not quite sure where the time has gone already though! This year is just whizzing by!

You would have loved someone that I know who went to a Halloween party last year, about 6 months ish pregnant, wearing an orange top which she had lifted just above her bump, and face-painted it orange, and also drew a Pumpkin face on it!! Topped of with a little green bobble hat for the stalk!!

I've always loved Halloween too, but am going to try really hard to resist [STRIKE]spending [/STRIKE] wasting money on some kind of outfit for Monkeynut (affectionately named as such after the first scan picture!).

Sorry to hear you're having issues with the flat, I was really pleased when I read that it was going well when your friend moved in. It's a shame life always gets in the way of things! And it's so much more difficult when it's friends involved that a stranger as you can't deal with it as 'businessy' without seeming and feeling horrible.

Hi pipsmum - just popping in to catch up x

Pips_Mum

Hi Smarties x x

OK now I know you lot will understand why I am sooooooooooooooooooo angry right now. On another site I just got made to feel like total carp beacause I bought Pip some shoes on Ebay! Basically they were saying that I was damaging his feet because I dont buy from a shop??????? I take him to a shop to get measured and then search the exact size they tell me he is online, so whats the difference? £10-£20 thats the difference!! Why should I feel like a lousy Mummy because I spend wisely? :mad::mad::mad:

Anyhoo the friend that was in the flat originally and screwed me over (remember that far back?) paid £30 into my account so I do have enough to pay for some bits for my friends party. She was going to do a BBQ but now she is going to order loads of pizzas using a 50% off coupon she has, probably works out cheaper for me as we will just split the cost and I think there is about 16 going.

Ive decided on a Mickey Mouse theme for Pips Birthday (yes I know its not till Jan but I have to plan early because of the trauma of Christmas!). Ive found lots of things I can do and already lots of ways I can do them cheaper!:T

Right off for a mooch, TTFN x x

That's why you screw all the other sites and We are the Champions :j
They were probably just jealous that you saved all that money and they paid over the odds for their kids shoes from Clarkes or somewhere equally as overpriced.
Whereas you took advantage of the free measuring service then get the same thing for half the price. I know who I'd rather be
