    Hope the sweep works!

    Must be strange looking through all the old clothes, I already can't believe how much Poppy has grown. Sounds like a great idea to get a stall and sell all the old clothes.

    Well baby finally arrived. 13 days late! He is now a week old and finally starting to settle in. Been a busy week though and I now need to have a catch up on the diaries and update my money on here. It's been strange not logging on here every day. Will be back after a catch up

    not doing too badly considering I haven't really done much for 2 weeks. I put some books on Amaz0n today and DH has had a sort through his DVD's and has made a pile of ones to get rid of. Eb4y listings tomorrow and I need to go through my DVD's as I hardly watch them.

    May get Christmas cards out tomorrow as I can finally start writing those now baby is here and we are definate on his name ;)

    MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS!! :beer:

    Hope all went well and you and the baby are keeping well! Don't know if you can share his name on here, or any other details about how it all went, weight, etc etc!?

    Please take care of yourself - can you get someone else to help with ebay listings and card writing!

    Congratulations to the Starnac family!
    Overpay!

    so here were my November goals. I know I'm a bit late but I haven't been on here for a while again.

    [STRIKE]have baby[/STRIKE] :j
    finish christmas shopping
    [STRIKE]write christmas cards[/STRIKE] (i always leave this too late)
    [STRIKE]DH to apply for 0% CC[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]BT barcl4ycard to 0%[/STRIKE]
    20 items sold on eb4y (not just listed but sold) failed badly at this
    [STRIKE]finish nursery[/STRIKE] (this will have to be done)
    reduce the amount taken out of my pay for childcare vouchers will do this tomorrow now I know how much the reduced hours will cost
    [STRIKE]reduce DD's hours in nursery[/STRIKE] starting January
    [STRIKE]be brave and join make £10 a day thread and not just lurk[/STRIKE] made £90 which isn't bad but not brilliant either. Need to try this again in the new year

    so not bad considering I didn't do much in the way of money saving/making in November due to baby. Must must try harder in 2012.

    Sorry it's late but thank you PBR. We named him Dylan and he weighed 8lbs 11ozs. I had to be induced as 3 sweeps (yes thats right 3!) didn't work. Labour was quite quick (hubby only just made it back to the hospital in time after being sent home by the staff!). I only had gas and air which is surprising as I was planning on asking for an epidural. By the time I thought about asking for one it was too late! :cool:

    baby was safe and healthy so that was the main thing. Trying to settle in to life as a family of four instead of 3 now.

    Hows things with you??
