  • Its hard to get a balance though isn't it. You want to buy things but know you shouldn't.

    Do you do daily clicks and bingo sites? Ive earned alot on Fatcheese since I joined and TCB, I can't believe you get free money for clicking! Brilliant though.


    I didn't get the redundacy so it's back to work for me now. Start April and finish about 3/4 months after that for mat leave. I'm really dispointed to be going back and my stomachs churning already.

    I am feeling quite sorry for myself today as i have got a stinky cold and sore head which now i am preg i cant take anything for it. Plus i seem to get heartburn from the moment i get preg. Sorry for the moan i should be better after agood nap!

    Well i havent spent anything other than the weekly food shopping. feeling quite proud of myself as this hasnt been the case in quite some time.

    I havent been able to get on the computer for a while so not been keeping up to date with my finances and stuff. Now that i have i need to make a good effort with cutting back on impulse buys.

    Midwife came the other day - seems ok but dont think she will take any nonsence. She got quite abrupt when the children started talking to me - tv and food had stopped working as a distraction by then! We think i am 8 weeks along but will have to wait for scan to know for sure.

    OH nan came round to paint our lounge yesterday as she was so fed up with OH not doing it. It was fine to look at but she insisted. It looks awful now as she has missed half of the ceiling and made a half hearted effort at the undercoat on 2 of the walls! OH was not amused. To add insult to injury she also moved his stereo, speakers and a few other bits into the garden as they were in the way of the kitchen table - thankfully it was a nice day but i now have a very grumpy OH. Plus there is now paint all over the stairs carpet and kitchen units. Sorry if i sound very ungreatful but it was really not very helpful.

    Anyway sorry again for the rant and hope everyone else is ok

    Feeling very happy with myself at the moment as OH has just informed me that i can transfer another £200 per month until may from his account. This money will come in very handy. I have just done the transfers and cant wait for payday!
