The deer were so cool! One night we kept seeing flashes so OH went out to look and saw a few people taking pictures?? When he looked again there was an entire deer family munching grass right by our front door! Pip loved them.
So I am having a complete panic as I havent paid the rent yet, need to get some bits for Pips party, next weeks food shop and will need some electric on the meter...................................and all out of £230. Not bad you would think but the rent is £258:eek::eek:
oing to ring them in a minute and see if they will accept half for now until I get paid next Friday. It means I will have to pay more next month but at least it gives me longer to try and figure out a plan.Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

Just rang them and they accpeted £100 until next Friday. The rent is usually due on the 1st of the month and for some reason the direct debt got cancelled so I just figured it had already gone so got a bit of a shock to see it hadnt. Next month it goes up so I will need to pay £434:eek: for rent and now owed rent. I fear a SOA may be needed for next month as it is going to be a struggle. Happy New Year hey!
Next Friday I 'should' get my bonus which I was aiming to spend on trying to get my car going. Her MOT is due Mid Feb and at the minute she doesnt even start

Found myself with a little while to kill so just made Jamies banoffee pie.
No way could you make this and a meal in 30 mins, the pie took me 25 on its own.Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

Ive got a number 2!!!! Not as disgusting as you may fear my lovelies! I hired the cake tin today, £2.50 per day so its going back tomorrow! I have baked 2 2s as i dont think the cake topper is going to get here in time. So now just need to decorate them on the morning of each party. Foodwise I am not doing tonnes just some sausage rolls, crisps, got some 60 piece party food boxes when Mr Ms did their voucher offer before Christmas so just going to split those across the 2 days. No point going mad.
Got 30 Birthday cards for £3 today, I have to send a tonne of cards each year so they were a good bargain. I have to send about 30 over to the states so tonight I am going to write them out and put them in my Birthday book. I am going to leave the envelopes unsealed as I can then pop a little note in just before I send them.
Pip is being a NIGHTMARE about going to sleep. hasnt napped in about 2 weeks and then because he is so tired he screams and screams for about 1.5 - 2 hours at bedtime. Be glad when he grows out of it.........he will grow out of it right?????

Of course he will grow out of it - he is guaranteed to grow out of it at least by the time he is a teenager - when he will resort to sleeping all day!!!
Well done on the cards and all t he presents - I wish I had managed to get some stuff organised, just hope can do a little next week 0 -
Hey All
So Pip has had his first 2nd Birthday Party. He was a very lucky boy and got lots of toys. He had lots of fun playing Hide and tickle with one of his friends and we also played pin the tail on the donkey and pass the parcel. Food wise there was bang on the right amount so hopefully the same will be true tomorrow.
The cake topper arrived this morning at 11.30 (party started at 13.00!!) so I really quickly made a cake. When I went to get cake out later and put topper on the buttercream seaped through. Wont be buying a topper again, very disappointed lucky I wasnt relying on it in the end. Other cake turned out fine, not up to Rags standards but I am happy with it :-)
