    about to hit the road......

    DD has been in for check up, and they were talking on inducing her tomorrow. but they already have loads booked in for that, so she's on way home to get her bags - and I'm picking her (and her fella) up from there to get her back to hospital by 6:30 to be induced this evening :)

    What a way to spend your birthday Cheryl...

    Hope all goes well

    Hello everyone! :wave:

    I've been MIA for a week or so, during which time I slipped into old habits and have been splashing the cash, so I thought I'd better check back in here, to get me back on track!

    Since my last post on Saturday 14/01/12 (27 pages ago! I hope I haven't missed anything!) my spending diary has been as follows:

    15/01/12, NSD number 14! :j
    16/01/12, Spend day.
    17/01/12, Spend day - bought more things!
    18/01/12, NSD number 15! :j
    19/01/12, Spend day - on home improvements ...
    20/01/12, NSD number 16! :j
    21/01/12, Spend day - ... a couple more home improvements bits ... :whistle:
    22/01/12, NSD number 17! :j

    So I'm up to NSD number 17 so far, and hopefully I'll manage to keep my spending in check now that I'm back on the forum!

    Anyway, I hope I haven't missed anything whilst I've been away ...

    catslovelycats - sorry about your guinea pig (((hugs)))

    Cheryl and ms_night_ryder - Happy birthday, hope you have a wonderful day! :bdaycake:

    Have a good week everyone! sunshine-012.gif

  • Wow! Loads to catch up on:D - hope I haven't missed anyone below:o:

    mytimetoshine thanks for that tip about the foundations - not aware of anything here but will have a hunt around
    kerry .... awww I couldn't possibly accept even if you had, but the thought is much appreciated
    Frodo ouch! but as you say, it will be worth it in the long run - same for me too. I'm just so thankful to be DF for the 1st time in over 15 years :o that I'm paranoid about having to borrow money to finish it ... I may do so eventually but want to get on track with the budgeting etc first!
    Catslovelycats so sorry about your wee furry friend ... it really is the hardest thing to do (((hugs)))

    Well, I'm going to be a bit cheeky and claim No 12 today even though I stopped and got my car tax on the way home ..... I took the money out and went to do it on Saturday but the PO was closed - so had already counted that as a spend - is that OK or is it really cheating?
