I agree is very fustrating not seeing the debts go down dramatically, but on the plus side you are getting prepared for the baby and hopefully will have everything you need by the time it comes along!!

Was so tempted just to order in food tonight, but before i could even think about it i got up and peeled some potatoes. Think takeaway foods must be my biggest downfall!!

I know how you feel last night my i got in and my soup smelled lovely looked in the SC and it was burnt!!! i must have not put enough water in it - was just going to go to the chippy then thought id look in the cupboards first and found a jar of chicken tonight which did us fine but it means i wasted a whole lt of soup was gutted!!!

Hi Cady,
Sorry to hear that things arent going well for you at the moment, sorry to hear you have been in hospital - hope your feeling better now.
I dont know what to suggest really. Have you made sure your getting all the benefits your entitled to? Oh what about the maternity grants? Not sure how far along you have to be but make sure you get them when your entitled.
Have you tried looking on up the income board? Surveys, mystery shops etc...
Also what about freecyle for baby things, and ebay?
Hope things get better for you soon

hiya everyone -

sorry the bad mood came out on here yesterday im just finding it really difficult to keep plodding along and its hard to keep going - the only benifits im entitled to is the £190 grant ill get in 3 weeks and although this is a healthy eating grant were going to use it to buy some baby things as otherwise we wont have anything - im using freecycle and got some good stuff so far im really lucky to have a good family too which helps me out loads im jsut feeling the strain and with being off work i dont get paid for my sickness just SSP so it really kills us if im off work but i just need to keep on going i suppose!!! im just so scared of having nothing for the baby and having to go back to work early full time because we cant afford for me to stay off and its just upsetting me. Im so sorry for whining ive just been ill and cant seem to find the energy to fight and keep going.

Good Morning!!!

well i feel in a better mood today and its also pay day so ive made the £10 payment to egg its not coming down very quick but at least im able to pay them and stay in the agreement - worked out my NSD's and cos ive been ill and off work ive had 12 in may rather than the 10 id hoped for!!! so im pleased with that at least got 2 friends birthdays and fathers day coming up so going to sort out the present drawer today and see what i have in and what i need to get shouldnt be too bad hopefully - well im going to have a tidy up today and going to do the batch cooking i didnt manager the other day too - got 2 payments though from pinecone so that another £6 in my paypal account so that the xmas savings total at £35.87 which im really pleased with hoping to get £70 by november as that is what me and OH have said we will spend on each other this year so if i can get that as free money i can get the other presents as MS as possible im hoping to do this best i can!! so at least something is heading in the right direction!!!
