  • Very happy! Its wed food shop and I managed to buy a £70 odd shop for £46 woo hoo!
    Due to £5 off and bogof and bog 2 f and half price :)

    Next week I have 5 meat/fish so only need 2 days plus basics etc!

    Can't wait to get out of this overdraft!
  • Well I have a lot on my mind, baby due, 2 little ones and money! I had a NSD yesterday :) though was a awful day as woke up so tired! I bought my son his winter shoes/boots today, even though i'm getting out of overdraft I can deprive him. We are going to a firework night and the only shoes he has are pump type trainers so he would be freezing! So £16 but will last until he grows a size! On the positive side his baby brother to be can have them in the future x

    Hey, Im due on the 22nd of this month! Luckly its my 3rd and 2nd boy so have only bought a few second hand things!

    Aww its annoying isn't it! My OH is looking for a new job, but we need to be better off than we are now. He has to look for a job £10,000 a year more for us to be the same! as we would lose child tax aswell as a couple of other benefits. Though if he gets one that benefits us money wise he may be working away 3 days a week! aah!

    OH has gone to work at the pub for extra money again which im not happy about but its money!

  • Hi! Thanks for thinking about me! No still with bump! In my 2nd childs pregnant he would be born tomorrow, 38 +4 ! I was induced but even though measuring small they have changed the system so I dont get a growth scan! So bit down as why would they bother last time with scan then inducing me! Im sure he will be here soon though :)
    I have to admit that the saving is doing rubbish :( I have had to pay rent fees for renewing contract, bye bye £40! and I bought some winter boot shoes for my son for £16 and will not have much by the end of month!!
    Oh has a interview tomorrow but not sure how much better off we will be :(
    Hope your ok x
