The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

I think a to do list for the week is in order. Mostly because I haven't done one in a while!

• Call auntie and wish her happy birthday
• Send her a birthday card (oops)
• Order a baby present for friends new arrival
• Do website brief
• Contact 5 web designers with the brief (already have 4 recommended to me or who have contacted me)
• List 100 items on ebay.
• Cross something else off my 101 things list (which is now up to about 130 things!)

Dinah - sounds like would be a good thing to do then and would make a nice profit! Fingers crossed for the grant.

Birdie - saw your piccies from Mcfly - looked fun! These things do make you feel old though.

CMD - yay for breaking the 14k barrier!

We have a couple of name choices for baby but we are going to decide when we see her. We went through the baby books and found all the names we both liked which was about 5 lol and then ordered them as which were our favourites. My Dad is really worried we aren't going to have a name for baby and keeps going on about it everytime I speak to him.

That'd be brilliant, to convince him you don't have a name, just call her 'baby' in his presence until her 3rd birthday or something! Okay, I have a cruel sense of humour!

He wants an Irish name if we have another boy. I do like some Irish names for boys but don't want one that everyone else has at home.

I always really liked Lorcan but not sure how common it is over there. That's probably spelt wrong - I bet it's Loughragthcannagh or something.

Hello, Dinah said to come and say hi so here I am. I was keeping my distance a bit, was having a really tough time and all the talk of marriage and babies and houses and boyfriends just reminded me of everything I don't have and it was upsetting me, so I had a bit of a break. Feeling slightly better for the most part now but still not great. We have at least won a new contract at work so I can breathe easily about that again although we are losing half the team as their contracts won't be renewed - one of the girls I'll really miss but it's giving her the kick to pursue what she really wants to do so it's all good.

Fab news on the baby Flower, and CMD (again)! Can't believe how fast it's gone for you Wendz, looking forward to seeing the pics - have you thought of any names as you know she's a girl? My friend just had a girl in Feb - Isabella - she's absolutely gorgeous, going down to York to see her again this weekend.

Also, loving these 101 lists (predictably) - busy deciding what to put on mine Hope everyone is well xx

Dinah93

Yey!!! We have missed you around here hon.

Looking forward to seeing your list Tete - I'm sure it'll be full of fantastic creative things that I wouldn't even be aware of!

Can I pick your brains please? (I was missing you anyway, but I do have something to ask you!) Ibiza - I think you've been a few times? Where would you recommend staying and what would you recommend seeing? Going for a girlie week in April but I'm terrified of ending up staying in the clubbers bit rather than a pretty, quiet and cultured bit (but with at least one or two bars!)

Really glad your job is safe. Like your friend, for me mine being a bit wobbly has been the kick up the bum I needed too, although I really want to get the first order out there and make it feel a bit more real!

N.I.M

Tete that is the correct spelling.

Tete!! Pretty lovely to see you posting here again. I keep up with your blog ect but I'm so useless at commenting. Glad your job is safe, and that you're feeling better too. I've missed seeing you around here, please don't leave us again

Just incase people here haven't seen it, Quidco are now doing surveys. Always pay 70p, and take about 20 minutes so if you've got time to kill at home/work it fills it nicely! The 70p tracks within a couple hours, and I don't think there's a limit of one a day. Thought it's a bit better than slogging it on survey sites for vouchers that aren't really worth all the work. And it's kind of instant 'real' money I guess!

Lovely to see you Tete, I’ve missed you! I’ve been keeping up with your blog too; I love the bits you’ve been making! Will the baby blanket be ready in time for your visit to your friend?! Also, how mad/brave are you for signing up for the Great North Run?! I saw a fab blog the other day and it made me think of you, will post a link tonight when I remember what it was called!

Speaking of ladies we haven’t seen in a while, where’s Zig?!

Sorry you’ve had a pants week Lara, are things OK between you and your OH after your row? Can’t believe Kampala round 2 is nearly here! It’ll be lovely this time I’m sure because you’ll have none of the hassles of getting settled in like you did last time!

Well done on nearly being under £14k CMD! You’re doing so well!

Thanks for the Quidco tip Cinny, I didn’t know about that!

Dinah93

Thats true, where is Zig?

Cinny91

I have no idea where Zig is! Haven't heard from her in a week or so. She's normally swamped under with Uni work from what she's said :undecided it's her Birthday this Saturday though, she might just be too excited to move!
