    Thank you nicki:D

    I was just having a browse on Hotukdeals and saw a nice white and purple hobbs iron for £10.22 delivered. So i used up £5.70 amazon voucher and paid £4.52 for it!:D bargin as its normally £30.

    I do have a brand new iron under my bed already waiting for me to use but i got it free from a catuolgue and it has no brand so is probably rubbish. At least i will have a spare!

    My friend got back to me about the tyre his found the tyre for £80 and has a friend that can fit it to the wheel and balance it for cheap so i wont be paying more than £100. So that about £40-50 saved there.:)

    OH text me that his going to finally count his coins in his massive jars tonight. Im always on at him to do it as there full of pound coins!;) I reckon he has near a couple of hundred sitting in them!

    The iron sounds like a good deal and a good make so should last you a while.

    I am always couting my coin jar, never seemsto go up much though!

    The iron sounds like a brilliant deal, well done for spotting that find chick, will come in great when you move into your new place. Have you starting looking for anywhere yet?

    That's great news on the tyre, always good to have friends who know about cars.

    Its all coming together at last with OH payrise too.

    Just a gentle nudge but did you do any on line courses that you discussed a while ago? May be worth while starting some now, you could be re trained by the time little one goes to school :D

    Oh and just being nosey but why haven't you told your dad yet, ignore me if its too nosey :p

    Thanks KM:D

    No i havent told my dad yet!:o My parents go away on saturday for a few days, i plan on telling him when they get back. Its not really fair my mum knowing but not my dad, im just scared of what he might say...i mean he will be happy that im pregnant but i dont want him to bring up my m/c again and say something silly that may upset me. He has a way of putting is foot in it!

    RE the online courses, i gave up ages ago as the learn direct ones i couldnt do on my laptop. I bought the laptop thinking they would work no problems on it but i cant remember what but there was 3 reasons why i couldnt use this system for the courses i wanted. And the other online course place i joined where you also go into a local college once every 2 weeks still doesnt have any places for me.
    I know i really should have a look at other courses apart from learn direct ones but my mind has been esle where dreaming!:o It would be good to have something to do on maternity leave though.

    RE looking for a place. Nope and were not going to until i get to the 'safe' 12 weeks as its all i can think about atm. Once 12wks is here let the fun begin!:D

    Ive got the iron now i just need to learn how to use it!:rotfl:only joking i could do with the practise though as it takes me forever just to iron a shirt.

    Last night i baked some cupcakes at last! I made some for my mum for Mothers Day.

    Here's a piccy: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4930372&l=65ad1d5275&id=705592805

    I dropped the middle back one on the floor when getting them out the oven but im happy with the rest. Apart from next time i will buy normal cases not foil ones. I thought they would look prettier foil but ive changed my mind.

    My parents go away tomorrow on hols for a few days so i can put the heating on all weekend! hehe;)

    The cupcakes are lovely. I made some too but mine didn't look as nice as yours.

    Hope you have had a lovely weekend.
