Booboo123_2

Hi loumac,

Just caught up on your diary and wanted to say thanks again for your nice comment in my diary, was ready to pack it all in!

Your doing so good! Putting me to shame! Word to the wise on the nappies tho - each supermarket has a baby event (they seem to fall around each quarter) and i just bulk buy - asda were doing 150 for £15 so i bought 2 boxes and they lasted Almost 2 months (we seem to average about 6-7 a day but i know everyone is different). Im sure your on top of it anyway.

Hope everything goes well with the house, i'll be checking in x

Morning Booboo and any others checking in! Glad to hear you've not given up ... feel free to rant though if needed!

Have had a quiet week as have been full of head cold and felt really groggy. We did go Wednesday to see the new house again and discuss bits and bobs with the landlady. As she's relocating to Bournemouth she wanted to 'donate' some furniture so we've gained a freezer, a wardrobe, a sofa and a storage heater. That'll do! :cool:

Today we're off to the baby show at the NEC, am really chuffed because I got a free ticket from a friend (saving £13.50 or £20 on the door!) and we live about 5 miles away so dad is dropping us up instead of us having to pay £8 for parking. Am hoping to come away with some freebies while we're there too.... starts at 9.30 so we're off in 5 to be prepared. Ha!

Tomorrow we've got our potential tenants coming for a second viewing as before only the chap came and he wants to show his wife. I'm hoping as they've paid their deposits they're not going to change their minds...! So more packing to do and starting to get excited that we could soon have a house! And a nursery! Yay!

Have a good day all! :j

PS - I've dreamt twice this week I'm having a boy...any one ever been accurate with their pregnancy dreams before...?

Thats brill news about the extras in new house, and the free ticket, thats weird you saying bout dreaming about a boy, when i was expecting dd, I was convinced she was going to be a boy... thou i think it was because I really wanted a girl, mind playing games.

there is a couple of old wives tails.....

1st, write your full name (use maiden name) and count the vowels if its evens its a girl, odd a boy, (only works on 1st one)

2nd - get a needle and cotton, rub the needle on the back of your hand, rub it with fingers from other hand, raise the cotton and needle, just till the point of the needle is on the back of your hand, if it swings in a straight line its a boy, if it goes in circles its a girl.

(on me both predicted a girl!) xx

loumac

Well first one predicts a girl....need to find a needle and cotton now! Ha!

Ah sunny Sunday! Plus very windy weather has equalled a productive four loads of washing all done and dry. Sad the things that please us!

Baby show went well yesterday, although we spent more money than planned and intended we got quite a few bargains and being there with my friend who's also expecting meant that we could do some decent bartering. Got to find somewhere to put it all now - especially seeing as we're meant to be packing up to move out!

Got a busy few weeks ahead as our tenants came today and are planning on moving in here on Friday 10th June so we need to move out the week before. Need to finish packing and sort out all utilities and bits and bobs like that when off school for Whitsun week.

Really just can't wait to be in the new house!!

mum2one

glad u had a good day out, and having company helps you get the bargains xx

loumac

Sunday again already?! How did that happen?
I may go quieter for a couple of weeks as we're moving out (TWICE! :eek:) so we're pretty busy.

Desperately trying to sort flat and finances ready for moving out. Worked yesterday for my friend in his shop which was nice as it was £40 in my pocket, however it had cost me £3.30 to park for the day and I forgot to take lunch so spent £3.50 at Greggs. Oops.

Need to do some more packing today but can't find enought boxes and am loathe to go out and buy any!

Hope everyone well. Will try and keep you as up to date on progress as we can!

Hope all goes well, fingers crossed :A

ditto from me, two moves, I think I'll need the lie down!! x

loumac

Ran out of boxes so have updated signature instead....

Not a bad effort for 6 months!

Total debt payments: £3,589.59
Total savings: £1,347.16



Hoping to keep up the good effort though obviously with house moves and baby on way things won't move quite so quickly. xx
