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

Dear me you are falling apart Tete! Maybe you ought to strap your feet up when you go running? May cushion the impact so they don't fall off... If you're getting lumps you want to reduce any rubbing in the area too so it doesn't get any worse. Says the girl with a bunion who now has to live in wide fitting shoes and orthopaedic insoles

I highly doubt you'd get featured on Regretsy, you'd make things that are far too lovely to be mocked!

Any baby movement Wendz?! I'm so excited for you!

It doesn't feel like it's rubbing though when I run Oh no have I got a bunion now on top of everything else?!

Birdie85

Where abouts is it? Bunions are generally on the side of the foot below the big toe and are actually caused by the big toe drifting and sitting a bit wonky. You should go to see a chiropodist if you're worried, might be nice to get your sore feet treated anyway!

Owww sounds painful Tete!

Don't think I am made out to be a lady of leisure, get so bored but that will all change when baby arrives.

No movements apart from the usual wriggles, think she is very comfy in there.

I’ve seen Regretsy Birdie, it’s one of the things that puts me off opening a shop – what if I get featured there?!

Tete, if you're going to customise coats so that it has a big lah-lah sticking out the back you deserve to be on that site! But ouch about your feet, yikes!

And no no, we're SANE moneysavers. We look for discounts we need for things we would buy regardless. Like Wendz said, there was one point where the Pa bought cough syrup just because it was on offer and was so pleased with himself and Wife No2 just sat there, all poker face and said 'Do er, any of your kids have a cough?' And he, somehow, looked even happier for the fact he didn't need it.

Speaking of the coupons though, my Sister was clearing her room out for things to ebay (she's even selling her Chanel!) and gave me a big Paul's Boutique purse. My iPhone fits inside, with room for my car keys so I can have that to one side to keep all my vouchers and shopping money in and save myself £20. Nice

I imagine how boring it could get Wendz! Best to keep a little busy. I think I'd like the first couple days lounging, reading and watching telly but it must be so killer just waiting for the baby to get herself ready!

Don't you just hate that feeling when you know you have no control over your money and you're dreading checking your bank accounts..

Aw Tete you do sound ropey! I hope you're ok! I definitely agree with the suggestion of seeing a chiropodist and treating your feet.

Lara how's the research going? I'm writing up my dissertation at the mo and it sucks. On a good note, I passed 2 of my teacher skills tests yesterday so one more to go

I too have no clue about gardening or DIY. You're lucky to have a good amount of space to work with though Cinny! I can't wait to have my own house and garden.

I love reading all the Day Zero lists! I don't think I have 101 things either yet. This is my list. I really hope they do a user follow feature.

CMD I'm so sorry to hear about the fishermen, but at least they were found. How wonderful that the community pulled together

Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather!

No I know where you mean, this lump is actually on my big toe, slightly down and left of where the toenail is (same one that's falling off, might just chop off the toe and have done with it!) I'll keep an eye on it - hopefully it's just a lump and will go away (I google imaged 'toe' earlier and it came up with a load of girls in swimsuits! What's that all about? :eek:)

Luckily didn't need new specs and had my voucher for a £5 eye test, good little MSE

Glad you got your purse Cinny, I do like to have a full on giant handbag though

Is it nearly 5 o clock yet? Sheesh what a long day!

ETA - hi Zig - well done on passing the tests Dissertation will soon be done, keep going! It's freezing here today!

Birdie85

I've got a thought about the 'toe' results Tete, but it doesn't bear thinking about! :eek:

That's lovely of your sister to give you the purse, wish I had a sister to get hand-me-downs off! I'm another member of the Ruddy Great Big Bag Club though!

Well done on passing the tests Zig!

Hey Everyone

Zig, the research is going okay, but I haven't really started the writing part yet. I find it very difficult, but I bought this book How To Write a Thesis, which has been really helpful. Linky - http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Write-Thesis-Rowena-Murray/dp/0335207189 Shame it's not possible to do hidden links anymore? Anyone know the tags for it?

LOL @ Ruddy Great Big Bag Club!!

Just chilling in the guest house waiting for my fieldwork appointment this afternoon. Have a good day!

Congrats on passing the exams Zig!

How you feeling Wendz? Hope your having a nice time with your Mum
