It defo was seeing him so lifeless was scary poor mil was blaming herself when in fact it was the out of hours doctors that missed it told me it was just a viral infection :mad:when infect it was a bacterial infection!!!!!

He's so much better now a bit clingy and grumpy but his energy levels are back up will take him out for a wee walk to get some fresh air xx

Bit if a spendy day today today as the car is grubbed..... Needs a new clutch and flywheel thank goodness hubby is a mechanic if he weren't it would cost £1800 :eek: to fix but thankfully it's only costing £272 :T I know it's still expensive but it could have been worse xx

Think this month will be tight month but I think that'll be the same for the majority of everyone xx

If baby k is ok I'll take kids out and post our avon books so that'll be quick need to get bread and juice today but we desperately need to do a shop this weekend xx

Off to check on everyone's diaries xx

Spent some of my birthday / Xmas money bought a pair of Nike trainers for £10.50 off eBay :T they normally go for £40 so I'm chuffed with that xx

Hubby off to fix car so chilling with kids infact going to get off my bum and fill out my avon order forms xx

abba1772

Hubby still fixing the car :eek: says he'll need to spend tomorrow on it as well :mad:t hey ho at least it'll be fixed I hope xx

Well baby k went for a sleep I sorted out my avon books so will post these tonight also sorted out two piles of my older sons clothes as took pics and posted them on my fb page and also gumtree will put them on the selling pages alter on tonight when baby k is settled.

Put a washing on and sorted out a section of my room dug out paperwork for hubby to complete to renew his photo on his licence and I need to sort my paperwork out to change my drivers licence to my married name as I completely forgot xx

Need to phone O2 to give notice on my account going to go to gift gaff as spend £36 a month on a contract but will be using their £7.50 sim deal my daughter is on so that's extra money that can go into the savings once it's done xx need to order another sim and my phone can last me a wee while longer tbh there's no need for a fancy phone right now my iPhone does me fine I'll get a new one once we are in our own bought house xx

abba1772

Phoned O2 yesterday gave notice on my account and order my giff gaff SIM card through my daughters account so she'll get £5 free and so will I once I've activated the sim card saving me £29 a month :T

Hubby has decided to quit smoking so as an incentive and with our car on its way out even though I have 16 more payments on it we've decided he'll apply for a company car, as he pays £212 for cigarettes a month :eek: which tbh is disgusting but it comes out his own money so he's going to quit and put that money towards a company car which will get renewed every 6months which is perfect as he gets itchy feet with cars every 6month that's flipping mechanics for you xx

So we've decided we are going to sell the focus clear my finance and that'll be one less debt on my credit file and if we gain anything from the sale of the car it's going straight into the credit card and the £157 we normally pay towards the car with be split between the mortgage saving account and the credit card so there is a plan lets see if we can get it to work out lol xx

Need to go for a big shop today so mil is picking us up to take us to farmfoods so will dig out carrier bags to avoid paying for them prob won't spend as much as we won't have hubby chucking stuff in :rotfl: hoping its under £100 as we last done a shop 4 weeks ago so quite a few things need replacing but we are also back to healthy eating as I feel very bloated so hoping the damage I've done to my weight can be fixed by the end of the month xx

Off to see if I can do some surveys whilst I wait for mil xx

abba1772

Checked banking and our first payment for our butlins / diversity break in April has came out so one more payment next month and that's all paid for..........kids still don't know sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol xxx

Morning :hello:

What a miserable day it is today glad I decided to stay in this morning hoping it'll die down later as have nursery run later on xx

Baby k is sleeping through the night again thank goodness but he's waking up at 6.30am as he's peeing through his nappy so will need to look into upgrading his night time nappies at least so will get a little pack today.

Working 7.30am til 12.30pm then that's me done for today so I'll be nipping up to town straight after the nursery run (kids are playing away quietly so thought I would nip on here)

Need to get toilet paper kitchen foil and bread plus some veg for dinner tonight which I haven't a clue what we are having lol xx

Posted invoices out to my student parents so that's due to get paid the 23rd and have decided I'm going to put whatever money I get from the college is going into my credit card to try and get the balance under £2k before January then once we have the car situation sorted ill plough more money into the mortgage account.

Daughter decided to tell us that her shoes are all too small for her bar one pair of trainers :eek:told her shell need to bear with us as car is costing a fortune to fix but made a deal with her that we will get her shoes on eBay as there all Nike gap etc so not cheap and whatever we make will go towards her new shoes so she's happy with that thank goodness xx that's both her and baby k decided January was a good month to grow there feet :mad:

Right off to play with kids xx

abba1772

Put two washings on today managed to get one of daughters trainers in the washing to freshen them up before I list them on eBay tomorrow........managed to drop off another bag to the charity shop and have started filling up another bag which will stay in my room til it's filled.

Not working tonight for a change so eldest son has a group at 5.30pm so will make the kids their dinner early and best of all his group is free and finishes at 7.30pm :T

So sorry to hear about baby K, glad he's on the mend now. It must have been scary!

I use pampers active fit at night, it's the only one that comes close to containing. I use cheaper nappies during the day.
