    can I share one of the things I'm stressed about? DH's work have a slow payback time on staff expenses. DH often has to go away/travel to london via train buy books and materials out of our money and then be reimbursed. This month it is around £350.

    With christmas, renewal of annual house and professional insurances it feels really close to the wire. I shall have to go overdrawn to pay the mortgage. (it's fee free so not really that bad!) I just find it so frustrating and find I'm trying to micromanage our finances so much to accomodate it. (rooted out a 50p piece I knew was in the change bag the other day for a can of chopped tomatoes cos I daren't take it out of the current account :( )

    Love from hormonal weezl x

    btw I'm expecting big things from Chris; his fortune cookie said "You will be recognised and honoured as a community leader" :D

    :rotfl:still no rolling, but manages a bit of bum shuffling. When he wants to he can cover almost a meter in a minute :) I think the lack of locomotion is probably a lack of motivation! I also think I'm the kind of mummy who just passes him the toy he's interested in rather than lets him get frustrated!

    ATM I'm looking at it as a bonus, a lazy baby til after his brother comes is just fine by me:D;)

    which 3 of you were snuggling Sami, you, DH and edgar or you Christopher and edgar?:)

    weezl, our work is the same, and I hate it !! I have to travel to at least 2 meetings every month and claim back about £200 a month for expenses. We are allowed an advance on expenses once a year though, so it is always kept for this time of year !! ((hugs)) hun
