Taking control in 2011

You too eh? Sorry - i seem to have sparked a few of us booking. I find there are some good deals going over the winter. Shame we have to go in the school hols now. Sounds great. I'm sure you will reach £40 again before November.

I can't wait, we haven't been for years and the boys have never been. We picked up a bike seat at the car boot yesterday for £6 too, so that will save us some money when we get there...

Right - we are going to try out a soft play we've never been to this morning. This is so we can wear the boys out, and then they will hopefully sleep for at least an hour so DH and I can finish stripping the lounge. We have TONS of wallpaper samples stuck all over the walls and the plasterer is coming on Tuesday. I want this room sorted asap, as realistically this baby could come anytime now (although I'm probably looking more at the middle of June..)

Wow I haven't updated for a while! We have the lounge well under way now. The wallpaper is up, the plastering has all been done, and the painting is done too. DH has the day off today to get the skirting and architrave on, and the carpet is being fitted on Saturday morning. Sofas and chairs should be with us in about 4 weeks, and we just need to order a couple of bits of furniture. Oh - and then find a way to pay for it all.....

Wow little bit sounds like you have been busy, whens baby bump due?

LittleBit_2

Baby boy is due a week today!!

Well 3 days to go and no sign of anything happening yet. New carpet has been laid and room is looking lovely, just want to order some new furniture tonight and then we are ready to go.
Trying to hammer the surveys whilst I still can, hopefully will get up to £40 on OnePoll again to make some holiday spending money, and at least £15 of vouchers on Toluna too, although I find I get screened out of most of their surveys grrrrrrr.

Sounds like everything is coming together ready for little ones arrival.
Hardly bother with Toluna now always seem to be screened out, onepoll has been a nightmare for me recently.

We have ordered our new furniture now. Some of it is coming on Thursday (my due date), some of it is coming next Tuesday (when I will be 5 days overdue or have a newborn!) and some of it is coming in a couple of weeks. Also, the sofa's are coming sometime next week too.
Something tells me it might be quite tricky trying to co-ordinate all of this.....

Onepoll has been a nightmare for me too recently, but it seems to be getting better lately x

Well baby boy was due yesterday, and so far nothing is happening. On the plus side though I've just ordered my first lot of vouchers from Amazon for completing Toluna surveys. I've been hammering it lately, so it looks as though it's finally paid off
