    Just noticed how your debt is coming down nicely in your signature :T.

    Shame none of your skip stuff is saleable. I laughed when you spoke about the fairies collecting the rubbish. haha.

    So lovely that you have a nice weekend planned with your mum. she might treat you to something for Twinklet. Fingers Crossed.

  • hi SS

    yep. just about paid 25% off now so feeling positive. obviously the paying will slow down a bit as having to save more.

    i doubt my mum will buy anything but she is knitting and has two blankets done already & is making booties & cardigans :)

  • Hi LL

    Glad you had a nice day with your mum. Sounds like you got some bargains.

    the wallpaper is for a repair where there been damp in the living room. Only needed 1 roll. I can't get the stain off and I've just finished the living room so I couldn't be doing with that horrible stain.

    Yes we did get some nice bargains and popped in my (now full) box of twinklet stuFf :)

  • Morning LL,

    Hope you are feeling well. Its nice you are now collecting a little box of stuff for Twinklet.

    Speak later xx
  • Hi SS

    yes getting a good collection together. 9 weeks this week. booking in appointment next week then hopefully get scan date through.

    checked my bank today & even taking off the money i spent this weekend & any dd that are due...i seem to have about £45 more than expected. im confused so gonna give it a couple of days as im sure it'll catch up.

    great if i have miscalculated my spreadsheet but i'm going by the lower amount at the moment. magically if im wrong i'll add some more to savings :)

  • hi rising.

    only craving peaches really.

    Nothing really new to report. NSD for me yesterday so doing ok there.

    thinking i might drop my virgin payments from march and put more in savings. I am determined not to get in any more debt when twinklet arrives so need to be as prepared as possible for it. i know that you can never be prepared but its worth trying to get a little cushion for it.

    looking at nursary fees i nearly had a heart attack so it will def be child minder. i dont think ill be able to work 4 days a week in honesty so will be back full time and ownt have too long off as maternity. we're aiming for 4 months. which seems like no time at all compared to the year that you 'can' have off but as my work doesnt offer any maternity package its straight on to Stat Mat pay which is quite frankly..rubbish!
