ok worked out the damage a bit off me only getting sick pay and it £575 + some bank charges we will prob get so that has been borrowed but OH is going to pay some off with his bonus and im going to take over the money again and work out what we can repay each month - im back to work full time now so the money is better again and we just need to work hard - it felt like the world has ended but its only a bump in the road and we will plod on as always chin up and all that hopefully the over all damage is not too bad but it could have been so much worse - lets hope all goes well for now then!!!! keep you fingers crossed there is no more bad luck coming my way i could use a bit of good luck for now!!!

Hi Cady, great news about being in credit with your electric bill, will you get that money back or will you just let it roll onto the next bill?

Great news about the bargains you got for the freezer, im a bit of a hunter when it comes to food bargains!! Always feel so much better when i know the freezer is full of food and we wont need to go shopping again for a few weeks.

Keep up the good work!!

Hiya Flower!!

Were in the middle of changing our elec and gas so its the final bill and will go back into the bill account which is great im sure ill be in debit with the gas tho so it can go towards that - we only go shopping once a month so to have all the stuff in 2 freezers is a great help i saw something fab on the OS board where if you get a french stick cut it in half longways and then into pieces you can have a "pizza baggette" base just add tomoatoe puree and chees and what ever topping you have so i pre cut the 2 i got for 12p each se we can have mini pizzas for dead cheap OH loves these but there like £2 a box with 4 tiny ones in so im really pleased!!!

Well today i have done another survay for pinecone so that will go into my pay pal i have £26.87 so far in there and im hoping to get £70 in there as that is what me and OH have decided to spend on each other for xmas so i want to make this off my survays and other stuff - i still havnt put the games i found on ebay tut tut i shall have to get sorted with that too. MY NSD's are doing well i have done 2 so far and have 8 more to go this month and im doing ok till pay day for now. I have started rouning the odd pence off and transfering it into my 2nd account and i have £4.56 in there so far which i will save up as i need to get a birthday present for my brothers girlfriend and as i cant transfer pennys on there own when ever there is an odd amount i have to transfer £1 + the pennys to make it go i only started this the other day and i dont miss £1 really tbh but will see how it goes i feel a lot more on track i updated my xmas book yesterday and i think as soon as fathers day and my brothers GF's birthday is out the way i will start adding to my xmas stuff.

Well im off to get ready for work.

See you all later have a great day

Afternoon!!!

well today has been ok were struggling through at the moment but were not drownin so that is the silver lining!!!

Baby stuff - well scan was fab all is ok but had its legs crossed so were having a suprise after all makes it a little harder to shop for but is good as we cant go nuts and buy stuff - we have been given some great stuff and have bought loads of bargins and nothing unessential so far! SIL is going to pick up a bag of stuff off freecycle for me so thats good too so were doin ok with that so far!!

My NSD are goin bad ive missed 2 so far so have to get better with them if im going to make this months target!! no extra payments to debt this month as ive had to but maternity stuff like bras and a few tops for work but again were bargins and nothing unessential!!!

My freezer is stocked up well and im going to meal plan for next week tomorrow was up early today so chucked 2 leaks and ssome potatoes in the SC with some other bits for soup for tea and luch for work tomorrow too so thats good indeed!!

The joint account is cutting it fine but everything is paid which is the main thing i suppose and next month is another payday to stress about!!!

Things are plodding along nicely not Fab but just nice so far!!

Great to see that everything is going okay for you Cady.

Your not the only one just plodding along at the minute! Things seem to be very tight here at the moment, going to have a mass ebay session i think! Need to take a page out your book and do some meal planning!

cady

I know flower i think everyone has good intentions but not enough money to stretch around!!! it feels like were ok as everything is getting paid but were not moving forward as nothing is going down - its very frustrating but because the budget is so tight im being very good with buying baby stuff and food at the moment which is good i suppose!!!
