    Sure I just wrote a comment but it seems to have disappeared and I ended up lost somewhere in the middle of someone elses diary that I had never seen before!??!

    I bet Pip is loving having lots of extra time to spend chilling with mummy?
    And I doubly bet Mummy loves to have the time to nap during the day.

    Sounds like you got some really good buys for your fiver then in ELC. Glad you mentioned it as I've been planning on getting some paints and bits soon anyway, so will have to pop into ELC when I'm passing tomorrow and see if I can pick up anything equally as bargainous :)

    Hi All,

    Scan went Ok, had a bit of a worry as "it" wasnt moving at all but Sonographer said not to worry as there was a good strong heartbeat and was probably just chilling out!

    Hellooooooo Everyone!

    Sorry I've been a bit AWOL as mad as it seems since I stopped work I don't seem to have any free time!! I think I am catching up with so much that needed doing, its going to take some time but sure I will get everything ship shape again.

    I am loving being able to do more cooking from scratch and I managed to use up quite a few bits last week that would have ended up binned but instead turned into meals :-) My food shop this week was also about £30 less than precious weeks just because I had time to make a prope list!! I had an Approved Foods delivery last week too which had lots of bits in, including Milkshakes which are one of the few things I can still keep down at the minute!!!

    The Greenhouse is up and its got some veggie seeds in and also a few Strawberry plants and tomatoe plants that I got reduced in Homebase, all they needed was a good drink!

    Hopefully be able to keep updated a bit more regularly now.

    Doesn't it just Pinky!!

    Been in the garden today sewing some more veggie seeds, also got 3 more tomato plants reduced and also a coriander plant all happily sitting recovering in the greenhouse ready to be planted a bit later. I also set some Red and White onions hoping some will grow.

    Tea tonight is a Cottage pie, nice and filling but cheap to make! Last night we had homemade pizzas which Pip loved making and ate every scrap of!

    Was supposed to be going to a Farm with Mum, Dad and Pip tomorrow but Dad wont let me go :-( He has read about pregnant women and farm animals, I wasnt going to touch any but he still wont let me go.................I think I must have been naughty!

    My NASTY debts:

    Next £498
    MBNA £2778
    Tesco £1692
    Mothercare £100
    Egg Loan £2292

    Total £7360!!!:D

    Which means since my LBM I have paid off £10,184 :T:T
    What a long slog it has been but I can see the end of the Tunnel, next month I will receive my redundancy pay and my aim is to pay off everything :eek: be nice when its gone but think it will be a bit scary to see that much money come in and go out again!!!

    Well done for paying off so much money that's fab, and i know clearing it with your redundancy money will be a blow to the bank account but think of all those monthly payments saved. yay!

    how are you doing yourself at the moment? still enjoying being a SAHM?
