hi everyone.
so had a lovely birthday weekend. was spoilt. took my mum out for lunch on my bday (lunch time special) and she loved it.didnt spend too much over the weekend. was well within budget so happy with that. means i wont have to dip in to the savings pot for spends for amsterdam next weekend.
This weekend i have a surprise with my bestie that i have no idea what we are doing. im very excited...but a bit anxious how much money i'll need. i've become obsessed.
paid a little bit more on my ccs over the weekend so happy with that.
other than that no real updatesFacing up to things - nov 2012 total 9334.95

Hi Rising, I'v finally managed to read your diary
. You are doing so well and congratulations on your little bundle. You're due a few weeks after me. I wish I'd done like you and bargain hunted all my DS's baby items. I'm hoping I can keep the spends down considering I have everything I need.

Hello Mrs Toastcongratulations

That is a lot of bargains
. Hopefully your baby will pick up on your money savings. I have my 20 week scan just after Easter and find out what flavour it is. I have all boys things so if its a girl I've got plenty of time to collect girls things:rotfl:
