  • Well done on the dodgy payer and the lovely ebayer

    Leaving your baby for the first time is horrific - but it will do you both good to be apart just for a little while.

    If evil mother in law seems a pain when you drop baby off - either - lift up the loo seat and don't put it down - thats always really annoying (that will make you smile all night and might help you to take your mind off leaving pip) or take her a bunch of flowers/box chocies as a thank you before she has pip then she will be super dooper nice to you.

  • O.k, firstly i would just like to say i have had a drink or 3 after a long 3 day stint at work so if none of this makes sense..............ITS THE WINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Loving the ticker pipsmum!!!!!!!!!!! I love my ticker as it means i can look at how close my ticker is from the end instead of just looking at the numbers slowly going down!!!!

    Hope you have had a nice night out and the evil one looked after pip alright??!!!

    I did place an order with approved foods, mostly snacky stuff that will do my healthy eating regime no good at all,and some healthy juices and cereal bars etc, but all stuff i tend to buy anyways so should hopefully help to bring my food bill down............when it arrives that is. Do they have different stuff come in every week as dont think i have the will power to keep looking through it every week, so much stuff to tempt me!!:D

    Looking forward to hearing bout your night out
    love rags

    Well pleased to report that both Pip and I survived our evening apart!:j

    MIL was a pain in the backside with him and when he came home all of his stuff smelt like her house which annoyed me greatly, much washing for me today I think!!

    Had a nice time at the pub quiz, glad it was with my good friends and that I had to use my brain a little so meant I couldnt mope too much:T
    Had a few little drinks....well OK I had quite a few big drinks!:beer: Funniest part was on the way home when my also drunk friend was trying to tell me that an artichoke was a fish!!:rotfl:
    Spent more money than I would have liked so back on the straight and narrow today.

    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: to MIL she just rang and said when can she have him again! Talk about grabby!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Phew I am pooped!:p
    Ive been sorting out the spare room and the flat and theres still loads to do in both.

    Managed to find some useful stuff though and also a few more bits for amazon and ebay so hopefuly a few more pounds of the debt:j

    Pack came about my DMPso need to fill that in ASAP.

    Have managed as NSD and another planned for tomorrow.

    Its been a lovely sunny day here so little seedies will hopefully have done some good growing! Bet its not this lovely for the Naming Ceremony next week but fingers will remain crossed.

    The little ornament went for £33 in the end, cant believe it. All in all I made £130 from my Ebay listing so I am really happy.
    If I pay that off my A&L credit card it will leave it with only a balance of £20 which is great news!!

    I have just typed the letters to MBNA and Tesco CCs as per my DMP. I am asking for them to freeze the interest and charges and allow me a reduced monthly payment of £20 a month until I return to work in November, fingers crossed.

    I rang Halifax earlier and they have definately allowed me the 6 months mortgage payment holiday which is great news :j

    Pip had his jabs today so is a very sad little boy :( he spent about an hour and a half sat on his dads chest sobbing. Wont come near me as I was the evil one who had to hold him :rotfl:

    Will keep my fingers crossed for your 2 cc's!!! big well done on your ebay total. And yay for nearly paying off one debt!!!!!!!:T:D

    With your mortgage holiday, does that mean you will break even now every month or will you have lots of spare left over to throw at your debt????
