  • Congrats on the OPs !!
    you are doing so well making this happen especially with 2 little ones and a DH waking you up in the middle of the night! ;)
    yep I am also gearing up for the next few months being expensive .... however have found some great ideas on the boards for cheap xmas gifts and have also mentioned to family about limiting the amount spent on pressies (as most are skint for one reason or another and appreciated the idea!) so a, hopeful that xmas will be manageable this year....am already getting a bit excited and have been scouring charity shops and cheap shops for some of the bits for the pressies I am gonna put together for people...
    oh dear- clearly have too much time on my hands if I am planning xmas in september!

    But, on a positive side, the MFi3T2 update is available this morning, and i have snuck in at the green with paying 25.41% off my target. I'm over by £62 pound in the end.

    Hope your day got better! We're in the green too for the first time at 25.40% so only just but its definitely a good feeling.
  • I'm sure the fact that you have the amounts calculated down to such an extenet will mean you will hit next months too !

    Hey Cha - Sunday must be a finance day as we have been talking plans too. Glad your meal was nice, so sweet about DS1 starting school, is he excited??

    I have not checked the MFiT-T2 spreadsheet yet, I think we are missing it by a mile, OH debt confessions put paid to that but surprisingly when i did our SOA we have loads of income that we are not using literally a 3rd income.

    Ohhh those chunky thighs that you can squeeze! Olivia sounds adorable.:)

    Thinking of you for tomorrow. It's a horrible time but then at least it's all over. Sorry I want to say more but not very good saying what I mean in times like these. hormones hey - I get upset easily at the moment.:o

    and yay for the climbing frame coming...hope you have a storage place for it until father christmas comes..it's not like you can hide it on top of your wardrobe is it! :rotfl:
