Hey Happytails - must be getting close with the due date now? Things seem to be going alright

Pay day tomorrow - must get to the bank and transfer my overtime before I go to Leeds to visit a uni friend. Also going to for a job interview (my first ever full time job) so fingers crossed will be out celebrating and if the money is there then itll be gone!

Looked at my online balance and because ive rounded my % up ive actually paid off another 3%!!!!!!

Both side jobs coming up this weekend so will do a proper update after thats all in. Happy times

Everyones doing great and there are some really good ideas on here

Happy Thursday

Afternoon! Specialkaye, im due bonfire night Thought today was going to be the day this morning though as had some really back contractions but they've all stopped now.

Nothing to report here since yesterday. Hoping to have a no spend day (except DDs horse riding lesson tonight). My equifax credit file has been corrected so now im writing to them to close my account before the free trail ends

Think im going to update my SOA seeing as the car insurance ETC has changed.

Number 151 - 14%

Sorry I keep updating daily, but if I dont I will spend it again. If I shout it in public, I will be too embarrassed to spend it

naughty-yet-sorta-nice

have now sorted my car insurance, paid the 2 weeks nursery deposit and have the money for the 5 weeks nursery fees up front ...and breathe!!

so...
No 116 = 100%

new target will now be £1000 so 1% =£10
not saving for anything in particular right now but seemed a good amount, will update it when ive thought of a reason!

Evening. Some good and some bad news here. Husband has a big project that has a new deadline of next Friday, its going to mean 20 hour days literally including this weekend (He is at work now). If he gets project finished we will receive £2000 plus his hourly rate (So overtime of 12hours ish a day x 7 = 84hours more than a normal working week (84+40= 124hours)) And it will lead to further work with a possible extra £3000 by Xmas. Thats the good part. The bad part is the deadline is Fri 2nd Nov, i am due baby any day really (due date 5th Nov), i have awful SPD pain which leaves me unable to manage too much housework/walking/looking after our current children who do not go to school/nursery etc so the 8 hours he is normally at work i struggle with, nevermind an entire week on my own. And what if the baby puts in an appearance before friday :eek:

....But we are going to tough it out. Husband will work his !!! off, i will grin and bare it this week and hope now that baby waits until after Friday next week to come. It will be worth it!! But if baby does come early its going to mess everything up as Husband will want to be home, ill want him home and i certainly dont want to be recovering from birth with 3 kids on my own.

Worked out ill also need to pop £31 aside every month to cover tax and mot on new car so its not a massive expense when it rolls round (£270 a year tax compared to my current £20 a year one). Currently watching haynes manuals for said new car on Ebay as going to have to try and make do and mend ourselves if something breaks on it after the 3 month warranty is up.

Sounds exciting hun-I hope it all works out, What business are you in (if you don't mind me asking) Thats the good part. The bad part is the deadline is Fri 2nd Nov, i am due baby any day really (due date 5th Nov), i have awful SPD pain which leaves me unable to manage too much housework/walking/looking after our current children who do not go to school/nursery etc so the 8 hours he is normally at work i struggle with, nevermind an entire week on my own. And what if the baby puts in an appearance before friday :eek: What sort of time did you have the other 2 children? Mine were 2 weeks late,-think they must have been comfortable where they were-lol.

Good luck-Have you no family/close friends local who could help out?

Its brilliant to see that this challenge is helping so many people. Well done everyone.

Its also great to see so many people's %'s on the way up xx

Just a quick update from me - I've just sold another couple of my crafty makes via facebook so have just paid in £36. Thats not quite 2% but close so I can now declare:-


Member 17 = 11%

Hoping I'll get paid my mystery shopping money owed soon as that now stands at £75 (that will add another 4%).

Also got a craft fair tomorrow so fingers crossed will make another % there (more would be lovely xxx)
