    Oh well, I'm pregnant:j:j:j!

    I'm just so glad, I can't even describe it.

    Money wise: I made an overpayment of £200 towards Lloyds, it's slowing down now with OH being abroad:(. Not good but at least something. Ebay items are getting bids so hopefully I will be able to bank £50 at the end of the week.

    I got some bargains on amazon as well, they either go back on ebay or I will use them as Xmas presents. They were only £10 together so not much at all and if I resell them I can make £30 profit.

    Hi Brizzle, Thank you for visiting!
    I'm already exhausted though not sure whether it's pregnancy symptom or just in general feeling so tired. I have sore throat so that might add to it.

    The money thing will slow down from this month as OH is not here and we can't count on his salary just yet. Not sure when he will return but hopefully at Easter time he can fly back with me. I miss him dearly, it's very hard being on my own. It's also very hard not to be able to tell him that I'm pregnant but I know that I need to wait with the news.

    Ebay items are doing well, they will expire over the weekend. Will try to find some more on Saturday and list them.

    I need to do my assignment too but haven't even opened my book.

    Sunday morning and I'm dead bored. Missing OH more than ever. Another 10 days and I can see him.

    Only 4 ebay items are selling but will re-list the rest if needed. Payday next week so a bit of a juggle with payments than hopefully I can make an overpayment.

    5weeks 1 day today:).

    Thanks Wendz,

    I'm really happy. I'm having my first scan next Wed in Poland, arriving in the morning and booked an appointment for the afternoon. I can't wait, I know it is still early but after the miscarriage I just want to know that everything is in order. My boobs are changing, I can feel them fuller which I already don't like:(. I need to get some pregnancy books as well, can't wait to gather more information.

    It's payday this week, can't wait. I really want to make an overpayment, keeping my fingers cross it will be fine.

    To do list for the weekend:
    x write letter to inland revenue re certificate
    x post shoes
    x return H&M
    x print out tma 3
    x print again Flat 1 utilities and post them
    x check in for next week's flights
    x print boarding pass
    x print coach tickets
    x make a list to what to buy
    x clean flat
    x put away winter clothes
    x return shoes to clarks
    x clean jewelleries
    x call tenant
    x return tenant's deposit
    x arrange meeting with estate agent
