    Thanks, this one is a toughy. I'm writing about every child matters and your wording has to be spot on so it doesn't cause offense!

    Where is it sleeping??!?!?!?!

    It was hard to pinpoint where it was, strange noise, it was in one of the neighbour's gardens I think

    Morning !!! :wave:

    Seem to have woken up in a good mood this morning. Not entirely sure why but making full use of the energy in case it doesn't last... 2 loads of washing done (where does it all come from - I was up to date last week!), our bed stripped. Just having a spot of breakkie (marmite on toast) then getting ready to go out. Am checking out a potential nursery so [STRIKE]if[/STRIKE]when I get this job I can get Nathan settled and start sooner rather than later.

    Hubbles reckons I should spend my first salary on myself (after paying bills obviously) and enjoy it before cracking on with debt busting... Any thoughts?

    I see a cat (which looks quite demonic) but no kittens...

    Oh - Mum has moved. I'm guessing the jumble in the corner is the 3 kittens. Much cuteness :D

    Luc,
    Your debt is manageable but do NOT under-estimate the cost of childcare-its a blooming KILLER!

    I say treat yourself. I like your hubby x

    good morning

    another horrible day here, come back sun i've loads of washing to dry, ironing has been done all 8 items lol that included 2 pillowcases and a single sheet (my god the sheet was hard to iron, still quite creased but looking better than what it was, i most probably ironied it the hard way, theres got to be an easier way to iron them )

    just having a sit down with a coffee then i'm going to go and make beds and put ironing away, have to wait in today for shower enclosure to come, and paypal still won't let me pay for the shower arrgghhh

    Reckon will have to put about 1200 into joint kitty to cover bills including nursery (600 full time but will get childcare vouchers...). Leaves a good 800 to service debt (which needs recalculated:o) each month. Minimum payments are 250 a month...

    [STRIKE]If[/STRIKE]When I get this job will be dusting off my diary and tackling debt full. Want to be debt free by next summer which is totally doable if I stay focussed...
