Is YouGov £40 payout, always thought it was £50.00, maybe wrong x

Pips_Mum

Nope your right!!

Hi Pip
i have followed you back from fays thread *waves*.
Ref the deficit etc, surely this is assuming that you don't do a DMP? If you did you would balance wouldn't you?

I am wondering if you and OH are paying a balanced amount of the household bills? If he could pay a higher proportion whilst you are on SMP then that would help the deficit too....

Hangs head in shame

We went for the family photo shoot and spent £100 :eek:

In my defence we did get 4 photos as presents for Birthdays but the other 4 I must admit were purely for us.

In order to restore the clever / dumb balance I have got 2 boxes of books to list on Amazon and 3 boxes of other bits to Ebay.

Off to do that now.

Oh and where are my manners Hi Chev :hello:The mortgage on OHs house is £600 a month which is over half his monthly salary, add that to his debts and the bills he already pays for and we do pay equally. This is why I REALLY hope the flat sells quickly.

Lemon tree I am sure you will, best thing is not to worry and stress about it. How many times do you hear of couples conceiving AFTER they stop trying.
One of my bestfriends only has 1 fallopian tube and thats badly damaged, shes had 3 miscarriages and is just about to start her 1 and only chance at IVF so I have everything crossed for her!
And look at mum2one

Lemon tree as Rags said dont give up hope before you start im sure you will get to see that blue line - but understand fully all the waitinng etc. I have unfortunatly had three miscariges and also a chemical pregnancy (very early miscarrige) pipsmum i really hope your friends get there little blue line from the ivf!! its such a hard thing to deal with but wil be sooo worth it when they have there baby.


Love the 101 list - very good idea and might have to steal it if you dont mind...
Hope the flat sell soon and you get a good price for it!

Right I have had more than enough of Ebaying and Amazoning for 1 day Thank you, sick of it again but have listed 20 things on Ebay and tonnes on Amazon. Just gotta hope it sells now!!

Yep I was Norty and feel very norty too but have had some lovely pictures

Pinch away mummy, its not actually my idea in the first place!! It was quite hard to think of them all but really good thing to do at the same time.

Off to drink wine (sorry Fay) and eat dips and chips and watch Eurotrash ooops sorry mean Eurovision!!:rotfl::rotfl:
