Hi Alimac

How is motherhood going?

I could never sleep when baby was asleep, I've never been able to sleep through the day unless ill so the first few weeks i was a mess

Had my pay this month which was half normal pay and half SMP £50 short from what i worked out so got to ring work and find out what's what. Best go & do it now while LO is napping.

Hope alls well x

Hi Darkphaery,

I am absolutely loving motherhood! But i am exactly the same, I rarely get a nap during the day. There is always something else to be done and I never seem to get on top of things!

Did you get your money sorted out? I am really struggling this month, my first mat pay covered only 3 weeks rather than a full month. Nightmare! As a result I have only made the bare minimum payments to my CC's this month ( sig updated). Really hope next month is different otherwise I have no idea how we will cope with this level of debt if I go back part time.

Since my last post:

- spent as little time as poss - still on target for my petrol to last until next payday
- organised 2 free trial baby classes for DS and I before I spend any money on something that doesn't suit us
- made packed lunches for the hubby every day
- one poll surveys ( now at £9.95)
- had a lovely lunch out courtesy of my sis
- kept last weeks shop to the bare minimum -£35.87
- continued breastfeeding

Unfortunately I have:

- not yet organised stuff to sell on ebay - must do this this weekend!
- bought a pair of AGE 2 (!!!!) shorts for DS ( who is 9 weeks old!!!) because they were gorgeous and reduced from £25 to £9 - great saving but did I really need to buy something or 2 years time???
- considered having my car valeted tomorrow for £10. - it's a real mess, I have no energy for it and hubby can't do it due to recent surgery. Hmmmm......

Hi

Got my money kind of sorted, they only pay SMP in full weeks so it works out that I only got paid 28 days out of 30. It will eventually work itself out so I do get the extra days but not until my pay day on 30th December! Just glad it wasn't more than £50 or I would be totally panicking! Means in December I'll get a full months normal pay and 1 week SMP which will be nice, nicer if it came before Christmas but never mind

Hope you're getting on ok x
