I have a mahoosive spreadsheet that I use for all financial related things so monthly budgets, credit cards, loans, savings, presents, holidays and keeping track of all outgoings and I have added about 9 sheets to it realted to being preganant and having a baby:o)

Thank GOD someone else does this DH thinks I am a complete saddo

I LOVE my excel spreadsheet... I don't keep track of daily spends butI have a sheet per month with planned spending and saving (I have 'pots' for holidays, xmas, major saving, slush fund, annual expenses like insurance, mortgage OP) and also a savings tracker sheet and, of course, a baby sheet. HAve recently been working out how much pay I'll get each month of my 6-month ML and how that'll affect our spending and saving, and then the impact of childcare including vouchers

DH said if I got hit by a bus he'd never know where all our money is as is squirreled away all over the place But he knows it means that we always have the readys when the car insurance comes up.

:rotfl:My mum went into 'spontaneous' labour with me and when she arrived at hosp she got the same thing all women got at the time, completely shaved, soap n water enema and then a bath - i said its a good job she wasn't as fast as I seem to be coz they wouldn't have the time!

I am a bit miffed that mothercare have buy 1 get one 1/2 price on blankets at the mo as i have baught all i can afford for this month - does anyone know how long these offers last or whether there is a cheaper place for cellular blankets - my next mission now i have cleared ebay of 2nd hand peter rabbit nusrery stuff

6 weeks today so bean is still hanging on in there - oh is delighted about that but suprised that i feel so rough (sickness/ shatterd/ sore boobs - i did say that i might be a bit rough before i got pregnant :rolleyes: and said that alot of ladies suffer more than me and that i am grateful not to be feeling more rough:jand he nearly threw up when i showed him the green discharge:rotfl:which is getting better now. He is one of 12 kids so i thaught he might have had some knowledge of babies and pregnant mum at least but he said the first thing he notices is a big bump and then the baby arrives:eek: a slightly shortend version of the joys of pregnancy me thinks:rotfl:

Mothercare are pretty much never the cheapest place for anything!
