No Money - but BIG ambitions

I called again for my vouchers that were not delivered - I got email response to wait 10 days for replay (not delivery, mind you).

I just had response from them that the voucher should arrive in couple of days.so that's £30 to treat myself.

This morning about 5 am I thought she decided to come to this world, but nope, she stayed put so far. Very fickle, my little madame!

Hey Weronika, keep hanging in there - things will get better! Like Sepa says it'll all fade into insignificance once baby is born. It must be very frustrating waiting around for her!:)

Good news about the vouchers though!

Thanks!
I think because she keeps waking me up at 3 am with excruciating pain and by the time it's 6 am I'm totally convinced it's time and than it all fades to nothing I'm just getting frustrated! I'm 38 weeks+4days so she can actually come any minute now:j

Since looking into getting vouchers last month I managed to get £50 love 2shop and £60 Amazon, so I'm pleased with that! My only regret is I didn't know about it sooner!
When I think about the cash backs I could have for all the appliances we bought for the last 3 years! Even in Jan we just bought new freezer! when I checked that's at least 6% cash back missed:(
Nevermind, I'm onto it now:D

I also chased the invoices once again and this time I was promised they will pay, so at least they acknowledged now it's received! No money in the account yet though, maybe they are sent by BACS so it takes up to 4 days as far as I remember. I keep checking though, it would be such relief - especially with the unexpected car repair bill:mad:!
(not that I intend to share it - they will go to my reg saver account, out of sight, out of mind:D)

Oh you poor thing , those last few days are the worst! Hopefully baby will put in an appearence for you soon, take care x

Thanks everybody for your support. It seems to me like I've been pregnant for years, not months:p I know I'm moaning too much...but if you are not entitled to moan while being 9 months pregnant, than when?:D

We picked up the car from garage, they admitted is not 100% fixed and when the same thing will happen again (3rd time) this time we can bring it in for free. Hmm, why I'm skeptical about it?:cool:
But with me being due any day now, it's better to have a car, so we took it as is.

We went shopping this evening, mostly to spend my vouchers and I got lovely baby clothes, nappies and wipes, all on offer and with coupons saved good £30:D The only disappointment was that I wanted half price nappies for my son as well, but his size was sold out:(

Weronika

Still no sign of baby coming.

I've done 4 laundries, washed all the dishes from last night, washed the floors, cabinet under the sink (how a place that stores cleaning products can get dirty???:p)

Made crepes with raspberry jam for all of us, all before 11 am today.

After all this activity, I was in so much pain that I was bed bound for rest of the day - and still am actually:rotfl:

My guys are going for a walk now hand in hand to Aldi to buy me a cucumber coz I fancy ham and cucumber sandwich on freshly baked baguette ( I still can't believe my 2 yr old boy can make it to the shop on foot:), so grown up suddenly)

My mum is coming tomorrow, but no amount of cleaning I'll do she will still find something I missed...:cool:

On the MSE front, we bought the mattress yesterday, 1000 pocket spring (which I was assured is a very good thing) for only £269 incl delivery, which is a good saving comparing to £400 I was looking at bensons (700 pockets) or £650 from dreams AND it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon so she got something comfy to sleep on:D
The downside is I cannot prepare the bed just yet - and between her being jet-lagged and me heavily pregnant it might prove too last minute arrangement:cool:

I dutifully and promptly spent my Amazn vouchers on:
1. Wii Play game incl Motion Plus Wii Remote - Red £33.69
2. [FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]Energizer 1Hour Battery Charger Fast-charging Accu with 4x AA 2300mAh Batteries [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]£17.99 (for the above remote:rotfl:)

I got around £8 left from my vouchers, I'll wait till I have cashbacks from TCB and buy zumba2 game, currently £25. I won't need it till 2-3 months after birth anyway, as I have to go through physiotherapy first before I can actually walk normal again, so hopefully TCB kindly pay it by than.:D

Paying with vouchers feels like getting things for free:rotfl:I could do this all day long :A

Still no payment of invoices though:mad: but I refuse for anything to spoil my good mood in this gorgeous sunshine:smileyhea

Stop that cleaning and get those feet up!

Thanks, I do rest a lot lately but at the same time I'm so impatient now! My OH took a week off (finished today though), so I only had to take care of my monkey in the morning (OH is absolutely useless before 9am, even if he goes downstairs with our 2yr old he will fall asleep promptly on the sofa and my monkey will come upstairs to wake me up anyway when he need a drink or nappy changing:p, it's simply safer if I watch him in the morning:D)

I was allowed today a quick trip to M@talan, I had £50 love2shop vouchers burning a hole in my pocket:o I bought loads of cute tshirts, shorts and so on for my monkey, it should cover him for the whole summer now - hopefully the weather holds:rotfl:
We spent extra £20 on work trousers and socks for OH, but again, it should be next season before he needs anything more.

Than we went to the airport to pick up my mum, 5 min before the airport we had to stop at the supermarket as I needed toilet :rotfl:... and again when we reached the airport:rotfl:oh, joys of pregnancy!

When I thought of my plan to get Zumba game I realized I should have already enough cashback to get it - but I didn't as my lovefilm trial didn't track:mad: I submitted the claim now, but it will probably take longer now and I promised myself I won't buy the game unless it's with vouchers....Anyway, I also need new house insurance soon, so maybe I can find a cashback offer for that and it will pay quickly:p I am full of hopes recently:A

New mattress arrived just as we came back from airport - perfect timing. I hope my mum likes it (she hated the old mattress we had in guest bedroom, and she doesn't sleep well as it is, so I'm very pleased with the quick delivery).

Little Madame just stays put and happily kicks the s"%! out of me:rotfl:

I know how you feel, my Mum is exactly the same!

If you like getting vouchers & are good at writing/reviewing things I would definately recommend the Dooyoo site. I've earned nearly £100 from there & its something I quite enjoy. If you want I can send you an invite

Hope you're not feeling too uncomfortable, baby will be here soon :A

Weronika

Thanks frugalfrog, I'm already a convert when it comes to cashback sites but I think I'm already spread to thin to consider reviews. But I'll keep it in mind!

I was thinking of buying my Zumba game today, but my mum pointed out if I will REALLY have time to use it and I begun to self doubt myself.

So I got question to Any of you who has any experience with 2 children, do you think is feasible to actually squeeze in any exercises? Mind you, it's only me looking after them as my OH works from 10am till 11pm 6 days a week.

Or should I just spend those money on bigger size clothing instead?:D
I hate so much being size 14 while my wardrobe is full of size 8 & 10 beautiful clothes....
