    Maybe this is the time to start the "pip no 2".....

    Knew there be a catch to mum in law.

    Def try the bakery, if you leave on a nice tone, you can always ask for a reference or ask if theres any vancancies..... just realised why my ex-employer didn't reply to my begging letter for donation for the school raffle, found out that 2 mgrs I use to work with are back at the new premises..... me may just fancy a Whopper....

    I've christened my new oven today by baking beetroot Cupcakes, now before you all go YUK I can honestly tell you they are yummy! Not at all earthy tasting as I feared they may be and of course they have a gorgeous pink colour to them!

    I hope you all had a relaxing long weekend? I have thoroughly enjoyed mine and its been just the medicine before starting back FT for the first time in 2.5 years tomorrow. I have baked, read, played with Pip, Cross stitched, been to a car boot sale even managed a cheap 2 for £10 meal out. I wish all weekends could be the same.

    HUGE sigh of relief as OHs new job paid him some wages into his account so we now don't have such a massive shortfall. I cannot tell you how overjoyed we were to see some money in the account. Keep faith and something will turn up.

    Thanks all x x

    Cannot wait to be under £11k! Hoping to hit the debt hard this year, as of next week I will be travelling to different sites so will get tax free petrol allowance for 10,000. If I travel 5 days a week for the month I will get £700!!!! Petrol obviously needs to come out of that but wont be anywhere near that much so going to throw it all at debt and pay the £200 for the holiday in devon which I will definately need!!

    Wow! Ive been gone such a long time, and soooooo much has happened!

    I have been provisionally given voluntary redundancy, not sure of leave date yet though. Should be sent a letter in next couple of weeks, best date is next March worst date is this September. Pay off will be around £6000.

    Before I knew all this we started to "try" again, don't think we have succeeded yet but I guess you never know!! :p Also I had booked a Christmas trip to Disneyland Paris :xmassmile with the bonus I got this year.

    Of course now totally stressing about it all, holiday is paid for but will need spends. Still got lots of debt. Still want to have more Pips.

    Need to update my signature with July totals.

    Anyhoo whats new with you all? x x

    Wow. Talk about a merry-go-round of emotions. If you can stick it out till September you should be debt free, if not March isn't out of the question with the extra fuel money and some serious determination..... in fact the icing on the cake would be to be employed until September but be on maternity leave for as long as possible beforehand..... hope Pip#2 is obliging!
