The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

Wow Dinah and you wait till after baby is born lol.

Have a lovely time in London Birdie. What are you doing down there? Anyone else got any nice plans for the weekend. OH is off for once but will probably be glued to his computer but my sister and her bf might be coming down so hopefully he will be sociable lol.

Poppy is currently pulling dvd's off the shelf and bashing the laptop with them....

Please, please tell me you just mean things will cost a lot generally for the baby, not that my boobs are going to keep growing. I honestly don't think I can cope with that I already feel ridiculously top heavy and uncomfortable.

My nana used to give me a jam far full of rice and another full of dried beans when I was being active and a little destructive, she found it focussed me in a less chaotic manner. Then again we also have evidence of me with a metal colander on my head smashing it with a wooden meat mallet so maybe she didn't calm me down quite as much as I've been lead to believe.

I've found a bill now at least. Although I still can't work out how to use HSBC's system (which I usually find very good) to pay NatWest, so I've had to try to do it in Lloyds, but that;s in NIMs name and they need a phone call to verify. I'm actually tempted to just ask NIM to stop in town on his way home tomorrow and pay it over the counter but that seems like technology has defeated me. We're also only £44 off paying off the balance in full, very tempted to 'borrow' that £44 from our spending pot just to get it cleared, and hopefully £44 will arrive from somewhere by the 31st so as not to make my spreadsheet a liar.

You can have my 2 MS cheques love. They come to just over that.

Smashing your own head with a meat mallet?

They kind of peak a couple of days after birth when your milk comes in, don't worry though they go back down.

That sounds like a great plan with the jars. LOL at you with the colander and hammer.

Dinah93

Lol I had the protection of my colander Tete don't worry I think dad may have let me watch too many late night war films with him as a toddler.

Oooh thank you, cheques it is then. I have a HMRC cheque floating about somewhere too for about £38, if I could find it I could try to persuade a bank to take it (it's in my maiden name, with my parents address printed on the cheque). Will you pop into Natwest on your way back through town tomorrow and pay off the card please?

Whoaaa at your underwear transaction Dinah, hope you find some nice one out of what you ordered. I really resent spending money of bras, I wish I was a C cup and could get the £5 supermarket ones. Instead you go to bravissimo and come out having spent a hundred quid on 3 items of clothing that no one gets to see!

Nim - I know who you mean, but not them! One of their competitors, it is global but mainly UK based. I have my start date now so I'll be doing a very quick house move once I'm back, scary stuff.

Hope the new job is going well Shrimpy

Aw Poppy sounds so cute even when she's causing havoc!

I was happy as a 32D, as a 36EE I am significantly less so! Nothing seems supportive enough without getting some of that binding tape they use to wrap the woman up like a mummy to stop her being curvy in period dramas. I'm hoping buying £45 bras reduced rather than £25 at full price will give a better quality of fit.

No you don't I lodged that for you at christmas.

Oh really? Thank you! I've been looking for it quite intensively for a fortnight though. Maybe I should be less afraid of being accused of pregnancy brain and just mention it to you in future.
