Thanks love. I know the guy will do a great job on the kitchen but i am dreading the 3-4 week wait. I will survive though, and love it come christmas time.

Didn't realise your youngest was 19 months too. You are going to have a small age gap like me between the two. I have 18 months and it is hells bells at times, but i don't think i would have them any other way. Best friends and fiercest enemies. But mostly friends. The worst bit was the nappy changes i found. I used to joke that if they made synchronised nappy filling an olympic event we would be medal holders.

Now i am up to date i will be keeping up. I bet you have a baby before my kitchen is complete though.

No more overpayments made this week but am waiting on my ebay listings to finish on sunday evening...have nine items listed but only one bid of £20 and about 20 watchers in total. So even if only that one item sells at least it will be another £20 off the mortgage
Pay day is one week away and am going to get the rest of the christmas presents ordered and out of the way so have spent most of this week checking out the best deals on the internet. Will update on sunday when ebay listings have finished.

I want to get xmas all sorted as well but I am soooo far behind with that one, I am normally mostly done by now. I hate not being organised lol
Sounds like ebay will be good with those watching your items. fingers crossed for you x

Thanks Pammy, have just checked ebay and 4 of the 9 items have bids on totalling £39....so this will be the minimum overpayment i will be making. The others all have watchers on except one, so hopefully i should make a bit more than this. They will all have finished by 6 oclock so i will update then.............

Right, time for ebay update....5 of the items sold for a total of £64 before postage :j, just waiting on three people to pay and then will make mortgage overpayment. I have relisted the other 4 items, its a free listing weekend so thought i may aswell. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Thanks Smlsave, have made an online overpayment of £60, still waiting on one buyer to pay :mad:.....it is really annoying when buyers do that....i wish they would just pay when the auction is over...i have a feeling they arent going to pay...but we will see.
Mortgage payment comes out on wednesday and i am hopping we will be in the £144's.
Maternity leave has started and to be honest i am a bit bored.....i am sure it will pass when the new arrival comes....am finding it hard to stay out of the shops and resist all the gorgeous baby stuff!!

Well done on the ebaying, they're pretty decent sales! Enjoy your maternity leave before little one arrives. I think so much unnecessary money is spent when preparing for a newborn, we probably wasted a fortune on things we thought we needed.
