I think you've already contributed to it - I haven't laughed so hard in years. Its really cheered me up - and I'm now much more enlighted than I used to be, whether I wanted to be or not :rotfl:

**confuzzled**

Why you having a downer of a day?? Is it just one of those days when you seem to get up and nothing goes right??? I had one of those yesterday:mad::mad:

That thread is fab..........I'm subscribed so getting updated....some peoples stories are seriously shocking yet hilarious:rotfl:

Will give you some tips for when your little one is growing up and becoming.....curious:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yeah just having one of those days where you wake up and think - 'will I EVER get out of this??!!'

I'm ok now though, expecially after that thread - there are a lot of people with some interesting lives out there! I'm so sheltered in comparison!

**confuzzled**

Ahh.... I know those days too well:rolleyes:
Usually kicks in around 6pm for me as this is when I get home and realise for the umpteenth time that Dh and I are totally not on the same wavelength:mad: and he's been and bought a billion and 1 useless items...despite the fact I've told him over and over again that we HAVE to cut back!!!!
Depressing but we'll get there eventually:D I assume your oh is nothing like mine......then again with all this time to herself before baby...........................:rotfl::rotfl:

I can completely empathise!

Thankfully OH hasn't found the shopping channels - yet!

It does make you want to hit your head against a brick wall though. Thankfully thats another day nearly over and I've managed to talk myself into everything being ok again.

Roll on baby - give me some distraction - although i have a feeling i won't be saying that at 3am!

Hi Talisker, Have been lurking on your diary & just wanted to say well done for staying so positive even after not great news today. :T:D

Do you know if the baby is a boy or girl? x

Hello Raini,

We have tried very very hard not to find out if its a boy or a girl. We have succeeded so far. I really want a girl and OH wants a boy, but in the end neither of us care as long as baby is healthy and a girl.... sorry, I mean healthy.

Had a fantastic result at Tesco today and got my revenge on them - wa ha ha!!!

I had a wadge of money-off coupons for baby stuff, collected through various means, giving me £1 off here and there for different nappies and wipes etc. A lot of them said they couldn't be combined with other offers/discounts etc. Well, i thought sod it, nothing ventured nothing gained - so I used the self-checkout lanes at Tesco. I collected £29 of baby goods and after using all my coupons I only paid £3 - absolute truth!! I got four packs of nappies, three packs of wipes, baby talculm powder, a wet wipes storage box and a soft toy bear. :j

It took my about 10 minutes just to scan all the coupons, but as it was the self-checkout lane no-one checked the coupons.

So with that under my belt I'm feeling pretty darn good about myself today!

Well according to your calculations those nappies should last 6 months! Keep going with the debt busting, you are making progress.
