Mrs Sparkle's sparkly debt diary

Snaggles

Hi Mrs Sparkle, glad to hear you are all doing okay. Great news on the house valuation. We're going to have to do the same before long, because we will need extra room too. I don't want to move, but we've only got 2 bedrooms, and I don't think DS will want to share with his baby sister for long!

I would tell you off for overspending too, but with 5 weeks to go until the baby is due, I'm now panicking and spending too much money too. I've just paid off my credit card, and have already put £90 back on it, which I will HAVE to pay next month, before my salary stops!

Oooh Snaggles not long to go now! How are you feeling? I hope your last few weeks aren't too uncomfortable.

I'm swinging wildly between feeling fantastic and feeling like hell on earth lol! I'm onto my 5th cold of the year (including one that turned out to be flu) and I think it's got onto my chest, because I'm coughing horribly and my lungs hurt. The bottom of my back (the bit just above your bum) is aching constantly and I've got spd, so I get up in the morning feeling about 90 years old. But then, in amongst, I feel great. Weird!!

Only 2 weeks left on crappy maternity pay- yayyy! I go back to work mid-April but have taken the April days as annual leave so I will be back to receiving a full salary next month- thank goodness. I m ashamed to say that I have abused my overdraft and the debt-paying has taken a backseat lately.

I'll need to do a revised SOA at some point as we now have childcare costs of £866 a month to factor in.

I still need a good kick up the backside though- this house should be on the market by now but I've hardly started the big declutter + clean-up operation.

I also need to step up my training for the moonwalk next month- 26 miles, yikes :eek:
