Have been a little impatient and done a test - but negative. I still think i'm pregnant though so not upset by it at all. DH payday today - still no bonus, how do companies get away with saying 'you've achieved it' but it never materialises! Re-jigged my figures (had overestimated CC bill by £80) and can still send the £450 OP i want to. Have done a good costco shop too so hopefully food costs be better this month.
Have £18 coming my way from TCB for the Lovefilm trial we did so that can be added. I had been sending payouts from them to a savings account but i can't work out how to withdraw from it! Think i will send the £18 direct to the mortgage!
Had mortgage statement yesterday, nothing exciting on there really, end date of mortgage still in line with original date (not sure if Halifax amend it) but did notice my £3k charges should i come out of my tracker that i foolishly signed up for!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -

grrrr, another negative test :mad: run out now so can't test till Monday anyway!
Totally confused with my SS this month which is frustrating as I can't see where we will be a few months down the line! Will get it back on track once Feb's payment clears. I think with a £450 OP the balance will be close to £116k which would be nice!
Got a few things planned today, visiting a friend's baby now that DH is over the flu, another friend had a baby this morning too!! DH is currently tidying the playroom (must let him lie in more often!) and i should really have a look at what we can ebay. Nothing here of great value but would be nice to declutter just a little bit!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -
Friend's baby was gorgeous and DD was wonderful with him. I think she is ready to be a big sister! Didn't really get round to sorting out the ebay stuff. Does anyone know when there is a free listing weekend?
All bills paid for the month now, just need to send another £250 OP when TC and CB are in account, am really pleased I should scrape the £450 OP this month as we had a big CC bill due to insuring both cars in December. Makes you realise just how far you can make your money go. As long as we don't keep spending on food i think we will survive the month!
TV was fixed for free too which was a bonus!
Was really annoyed last night, spend more than 10 mins doing a rewarded opinions survey only for them to tell me they had filled the quota!! grrrrrrr. Did do a £2.50 New Vista one though which was nice!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -
Great news -I am pregnant! Official testing day today and after a couple of faint positives got another digital and had firm confirmation! Am delighted! Have been really poorly over weekend which has affected excitment tbh, throat like razor blades and high temp. A friend took DD for a couple of hours this morning and after a bath and some chicken soup feel loads better!!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0
