  • Things are going ok Mort :)

    Baby STILL not here though, and I'm fed up!

    But we have managed to stick to budget, and any overspending has been discussed and agreed. So our savings are untouched so far this month, by cutting back in other places :D

    I'm sorry to hear about about your mortlet, it's not a nice situation for anyone, and I hope it'll get better soon x

    Ref: Heating - if it's cold enough for my house to go below 17 I turn mine on, did it about 3 weeks ago now... But it's hard knowing that when it clicks on some fat cat is licking its lips and enjoying your money...
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    Babies come in their own time JulieGeorgiana and don't take account of the parents wishes or timetable.

    I set the thermostat to 15 every night at bedtime, there must be something wrong with it because it creeps up to 18 or 20 during the day!

  • Oh don't I just know. DS was 2 weeks early and took 50 hours, DD was 2 weeks late and took 90 minutes! DH keeps panicking and I keep telling him the baby will come when it's ready, and not a moment before :)

    LOL I'd slaughter anyone who touched my thermostat! The family are too scared to argue with me...

    Only one who complains is DS11 as he walks around in shorts and T-Shirt :/

    She's my frugal baby. Having another girl will save a fortune in hand me downs :)

    Congratulations on your little new arrival JG :-)

    Glad to hear she has arrived safe - though it seems like only 2 minutes since you shared the news that she was on the way - and even better that she is a frugal little girl :-)

    I'm barely on here at the moment, too busy & living at parents whilst wait for house ooop norf to sell, parents house & new work are not near shops & parents are kindly feeding me so I'm making the most of it all & saving what I can in readiness for buying down here (when I will be skint as a skint thing again for a while) :-)

    xx
