  • Ah that makes me feel bit better CMD, I thought you were my age - still plenty of time for all that then phew!

    I know exactly what you mean though about not knowing what to do, I don't even know how to change a nappy!

    Birdie that sucks about OH getting in late, could you not have a catnap about 8pm?

    I say go for it when you feel ready as when you feel really ready for a baby then you don't mind missing out on alcohol etc. It didn't bother me one bit at Xmas but that had been 5 years ago (when I wasn't ready) I probably would have resented it.

    For some reason I thought you didn't want the whole marriage and babies thing Tete.

    You going to class tonight? I've just taken codeine so not going to be able to make it, I have emailed Claire to tell her though.

  • CMD - I don't think going without alcohol would bother me - but the other stuff like having to cart a baby everywhere with me - would! :D Definitely not ready! I do want all that thought Dinah, would do marriage now but babies I'm not ready for yet!

    Wendz - OH was purposely breathing on me last night, I was stupidly laughing it off but feel distinctly dosy now.

    Dinah depends on how I feel, I'm getting progressively worse so might just go home to bed. Can you PM me Claire's email please in case I need it, I don't think I had a pen the day she gave it out! :o

    I do feel your pain, my cold is going but have a horrible cough which sounds like I am choking to death so keep getting people ask if I am OK haha.
  • Augh, my list of things to do is being postponed til next week when hopefully I feel better! I feel like a bit of a fraud because I don't actually FEEL bad - headache/fever or anything - ust very fuzzy and can't really concentrate on anything. Had trouble doing sums that added up to 55 earlier and that was on a calculator :o

    Hope your cough gets better soon - I have a really horrible loud hacking cough when I get one but luckily it's just my nose this time around! When's your exam?

  • Morning, haven't been on this thread in a bit, been off the case with lists and moneysaving a bit as haven't been well. Still a bit sneezy but feeling much better. Had an email round at work today to say that our amazingly small payrise will be with us this month and backdated from August, so that'll be (by my calculations) about £33 extra this month. I added up my £2 coins yesterday too and have £32 of those, so this means I only need to use £236 of wages to clear the remaining £299 of OD - another tightish month but will be pleased to see it at £0!

    Getting ahead of myself somewhat though as payday is not til next Tuesday. I have £40 in the bank and £25 in my purse so might start up the spending diary again til then! Really don't want to end up dipping into the OD only to have to pay it straight back. Must assess the petrol situation after work.
