    yes Cats hope all is well with you.
  • Helloooo!

    Not been posting as been on my lovely hols. Had a fab, fab time and didn't go TOO overboard with spending despite my fears.

    A couple of major developments:

    First - I'm now DEFINITELY setting up the business! (will be next year)

    Second - I'm officially now trying for a baby.... Hugely exciting!!!

    Major eeek to both (and I'm sure there are people who are thinking that it's complete madness to be even considering both together :rolleyes:).

    This means that I'm going to have to change my debt-free goals. I'll still be debt-busting - just not at such a pace. On top of this.... I'll also need to take out a loan to fund the business - but if all goes wrong, this can be recovered, so it's not too risky.

    So, maybe the original grand plan can come true - we'll see,,,

    Lemon Tree and Honeybear - how are you both? - all good, I hope!

    Just need to update my sig now and get back on track with DFW.

    glad you had a great holiday i didn't realise that's why you were away.
    i'm fine, got the dreaded leccy bill and had to call them to discuss the DD they want to change again.
    we've decided to officially start baby trying after christmas which is very scary.

    Yes, it is very scary, I agree... For me, after everything that happened earlier this year with the ectopic and everything, I feel so very different to how I was before. There's nothing like losing something to make you realise how much you want it.

    Anyway, how's work?

  • Pulled up outside ALDI today, only to realise that I had left my purse at home. D'oh! So, I have managed a NSD after all...

    I realised yesterday that OH had not set up his new c/card DD. Result: late payment fee. Oh dear. He also returned his uni books back late - £8 (although they had originally wanted £16 so the MSE is rubbing off in some way, I guess!). Annoying!

    sorry to hear it's been going against you and your OH.
    I've just received my first email saying i'll be receiving my first quidco payment :)

    work is work, had a few people off sick, i'm working loads on project work but still need to do the day job. Strangely enough i'm feeling that getting pregnant would really be a kick in the teeth for them, somoene else would have to do some work!
