hope you are feeling better now x

so got my wage slip today & it the first month in i dont know how long i've been paid the full wages. if i have a day off sick i dont egt paid. as my migraines are quite frequesnt having time off is quite frequent so my wages are often 1 day down.

i had forgotten what i actually get paid so i have always worked on my usualy months wages so nice bonus. gonna add some more to my ccs so i don't feel as bad saving so much. and will make sure that i am ok for spending money for Amsterdam in a couple of weeks.

if only i wasn't sick so often. even if im off with pregnancy related illness i wont get paid which is poor

anyway makes my spreadsheet look healty and makes me happier so all good

This week, i have meal with my friend thursday, saturday got friends round for my birthday (which is in 2 weeks) and thats about it. no drinking so makes for a cheap weekend

just updated my signature & just think....april 1st i#'ll be in a whole different thousand wooop!

reduced my overdraft to £150 so thats halved since December and i feel good about that.

This weekend i'm cooking for the girls, popping to aldi to get some bits tonight & they are bringing snackage so should be a good night 6 of us
shouldn't be too expensive as i would normally spend about £30 on wine and booze so obviously wont be buying anything like that i went out for dinner & took out £30...and my friend ended up payig for dinner so i only spent £10 so im gonna use the £20 from that in aldi tonight and then pick up any other bits i need at tesco tomorrow. as i've budgeted for both i should be a little bit up at the end of the weekend so more to chip away at my credit cards even if a couple of quid on each one.

I looked back at the beginning of my diary & everything seemed so clear & set out. but now everything changed with the baby coming, but i do feel proud that i am jugglnig. i think everythign about money is about juggling what you have got & working with that. i now see credit cards as a hinderance rather than the life saver they once were so i have definately changed my way of thinking which is what the whole journey has to be about

Hi Lurvly,

Well done on the debt reduction and the juggling

Isn't it funny how things change from the beginning of the year? Hope you're okay and managing to rest? x

hi everyone.

had a nice weekend. yesterday was a NSD. Saturday wasn't as i was buying bits for the girls night. for Thursday & Saturday budget i have put aside £75 in total (that was for a dinner out & then feeding 6 people) all in...i spent £35 so a nice saving. bought some plants to make my back door look a bit nicer so that was a fiver so £30 less that budgeted for
yesterday after dropping my friends back at the station i cleaned the windows and door frames so all looks a bit freshers rather than cobwebs and dust

havent bought anything else for twinklet other than a little coat (3.99 rather than £25 brand new!)

lurvlyloz

hello everyone

had my first scan on monday and met twinklet all is well due sep 7th

had to start looking e*bay for matenrity clothes. i am chubbing up and not too many work clothes fit at the moment. i dont mind buying clothes on e*bay & would rather do this than fork out loads of money for clothes i'm only going to wear for a short time. seems silly.

tis my birthday on friday so going for lunch with my mum (i will be paying but its a lunch time special) then im hoping that hubs has soemthing planned for saturday else its a bit of a poor show!

im hoping not to spend much this weekend. i have my normal weekend budget but would like to put more on my credit cards this month.

hope everyones ok

Glad your scan went well

With my first baby I bought loads of new maternity clothes and it was such a waste! With my second and third babies I mainly just bought a few things in bigger sizes and found they worked just as well xx
