NikNok's Road to £0

DreamerHelen

Aww hun....I'm so sorry that the little one is making you hurt....I guess the last few weeks will be a little uncomfortable....just try and relax as much as you can - Could you get your OH to give you a gentle massage or something like that? It might help....Or maybe get a professional massage if you can afford it....but be sure to ask them if they are experienced with pregnant ladies so they don't harm you or the baby....

You can do the Weight Loss thing....I'll be starting that in the next 3 Weeks....And we can do it together then....I'll be doing Slimming World as well....

Take it easy and let us know how you get on...xxx

Thanks hun been trying to keep busy this weekend because apparently it can make labour sooner and easier if I keep active. Had a good 2.5hour tidy up yesterday and then chilled out.

OH has gave me back massages bless him but last night was awful because the pain is under my right rib and I just cant get to it

On a brighter note we won £240 off a £1 bet yesterday!! Yipppeeee!!! Going to split it 3 ways, savings, debt and spends as we still have 10 days until pay day. If there is any left from the spends we will be paying off too.

Must must do some uni work today, essay due in a week on Friday and I have 2000 words to write and read my course books. Want to get it done by this Friday just incase little miss makes an early arrival!

oooh congrats on the £240 win! :T

DreamerHelen

Wow....Congratulations on the Win...that's FANTASTIC!! :j

I'm sorry that the little one is still causing you pain....but she will be here soon enough....and then it won't be pain she's causing you but lack of sleep instead....

Thinking of you and hoping that the little one comes soon xxx

Thank Clippy

Thanks Helen I hope she comes soon!

So todays plan is to be a bit more productive than yesterday. The rib isn't as painful so I feel I may just be able to achieve a bit more! I have about £3 in my purse and nothing in the bank until this money clears from the bookies which should be today!

Todays plan -

[STRIKE]- More uni work at least get all notes ready to put together in essay(I have 10 days until this has to be in and if bubs comes early there is no way I will get it done!!)[/STRIKE]
- Walk to town to get some childs wavey edge scissors
- Make 1 birthday card / [STRIKE]1 baby girl card[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]- Wash pots
- Make a slimming world chilli for tonights tea (we have guests coming over!)[/STRIKE]
- If I have time drive ver to retail park to collect a baby outfit I ordered from N3xt
- Balance transfer and get an actual debt figure once I know how much the BF will cost

So yesterday kind of went to plan.... I woke up and did some uni work, not loads but enough to get me another 3 pages of notes.

It absolutely threw it down and so I ended up driving to sainsburys instead of walking and they didn't have the scissors I wanted.

I made 1 card and so I must do the other today as it is for my mums birthday which is tomorrow.

I made the chilli which was yummy!!

Today/tomorrows plan...

[STRIKE]- Make the fondant pigs for the 2 birthday cakes I have to make[/STRIKE]
- Make the birthday cakes - 2 of!
[STRIKE]- Make Mums birthday card[/STRIKE]
- Do more uni work... hope to get about 500 words written too. 100/500 done
[STRIKE]- Wash pots
- Nip to the supermarket for cake ingredients
- Do balance transfer[/STRIKE]
- Do student loan application
- Hope to ebay a few bits!

Quite a few bits to do on my list for the next 48 hours but I need to be prepared incase bubs makes an early appearance! Some things are more important than other so I will work through those first and then onto the other not so important bits later.

Had quite a productive day yesterday. I did the balance transfer to one CC and then went to do the other one and because the other card is in my mums name they wouldnt let me do it!! Very bizzare as I have NEVER been turned down because of this, so I added myself to mums card and a new one is winging its was too me in my name so I can finally transfer the rest of the balance. This will mean my total CC debt of about £4.5k will be split over 3 cards instead of one but i'm hoping seeing the smaller amounts will make it easier for me to battle them.

Sold another card I made for £2 and have an order for 4 more.

My cake order is being delivered tomorrow and it cost around £10 to make and box up and i've charged £20 so the £10 profit can go straight into the debt buster bag... along with I think about £7 of change. Not had a great time at getting money for debts this week but i've been desperately trying to get all my notes together for my essay so I can submit it before madam arrives.

Hoping by Monday I will have the exact figures for debt because I will finally be clearing my loan and so depending on the amount I borrow from family depends how much the final figure will be.

Does anybody know if you have a loan do the loan company send you a yearly statement showing the balance? OH has a loan which is for £101 a month and has about 11 months to run on but i'm interested to know the figure that is left if we were to pay it.

Have a nice little saving account going ready for when maternity pay kicks in in Junes pay. Hoping that this months pay isn't wrong again, I cant go through with the arguments and emails to work. OH's paternity is going to leave £200 a week short and so I dont know if he will have the full 2 weeks or if he is going to just have one.

Must be nearly time to renew my car insurance too.... I only pay £23 a month fully comp so can't grumble but don't want it to go up!

Anyway, must go shower and get the oven on to bake the cakes, then I need to nip and buy a couple of cake boxes!
