    Hi LMRH,

    I think I missed your birthday yesterday, so sorry! Hope you had a great day anyway :D.

    That's good going with the free money account! I keep getting tempted to empty my bingo scratchy account but I am being good (for now) :A

  • Had a naughty month this month spent far too much but on the plus side we've got a new bathroom suite, the baby's room is decorated and we've got cheaper gas and electric.

    The baby starts nursery next week -taster sessions- then properly the week after two full days then the week after I'm back to work :( but then my wage will go back up

    My free money account is now at £11:D with more money heading in to it very pleased with that normally any money that I get goes into the current account and disappears

    Managed to maintain at fat club last week which was a miracle after all the birthday cake I'd eaten so my aim now is 7lbs in 3 weeks to hit the 2 stone mark before I go back to work need to be good (she says eating a custard slice:eek:) did a lot yesterday though walked about 3 miles and did an aerobics class so hopefully I've not messed it up too much

    Hey little miss red!

    Well done on the maintain and even though you have had an expensive month just think about what you've gained from it. Home improvements are certainly not the same as frittering money away and you've made such great progress this year. :) Good luck with your 3 week weight loss goal :j

    Well done on your weight loss to date hun, it's a big achievement!

    Sounds like you got a lot sorted recently, these expenses happen from time to time and it's worth it if it has made your life easier or more comfortable in any way :). I bet your little one will take to nursery like a duck to water, it will be one less thing to worry about. Just try and think about all the extra money to put towards the wedding and debt :)

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D
