lurvlylurker does a diary

Two days before payday and i have £69 left! i've put £20 into savings because i've managed to make lots of plans tomorrow on my day off. coffee, lunch & dinner plans so gonna need some money for that! if only i was at work i'd have got the £50 into saving but o well. least its a bit extra in

August is looking quiet good. i go on Maternity leave on the 16th of Aug so i wont be driving 30 miles a day so my petrol will be a lot lower. i've got hubs birthday but thats the 29th so i've budgeted across july & august's pay day. i've got my MOT booked but i've budgeted for that.

obviously this could all go wrong if Twinklet comes early haha

3 weeks left until i leave for mat leave.

this weekend i will be finishing the living room and that is the final DIY project before Twinklet comes. so in the 8 weeks since the lodger moved out have done:
Twinklets room
Spare room
Hall, stairs & landing
and now the living room.

It all looks so different & i am so pleased with it all. I'm just dying to have a clean house again! so much mess!!! but leasta ll done and have managed to do it fairly cheaply so not broke any budgets. admittidly we havent been out for 2 months but sacrifices to make. this weekend should be a very low spend weekend as i dont have any plans other than finshing the living room.

need to keep on track with savings coz they are looking good & further along than we wanted to be so im really pleased

been a bit AWOL recently.

all ok with me money wise. 3 weeks til pay day (lonnng 5 week month).
last week had my pranged needed 2 new tyres and 2 wheel repaired so savings took a bit of a hit. least we had savings thoguh rather than having to put it on my credit card so thats one thing im thankful for. i had to have ti done because i cant get to work without my car. well i can but it costs £10 a day & 2.5hrs each way.

Hi LL,

Have been trying to catch up with your diary, you seem to be doing soooo well.

Great to hear Twinklets room is all done. Shame about car maintenance problems but like you said, its an unavoidable expense.

It feels great to be back, and look forward to keeping up to speed with your diary xxx

Thought id pop by and say the room looks lovely! We havent started yet......

Have u finished work now?x

lurvlyloz

hi SS - glad to see you're back

Littleskintdragon - finish on friday of this week. cant wait. had some issues with baby being breech and thought i was in early labour last thursday but all seems to have died down. back for scan on monday so glad i am finishing work as will be up there a fair bit by the sounds of it.

money wise, got MOT tomorrow. have budgeted for the actual mot its self so fingers crossed not too much work needed. if not too much work needed then im all good for the month as i will be putting half as much petrol in my car for the rest of the month with not being at work

My babys breech 2! And i thought i was in labour last wed!! I rung the hospital, but it all seemed ok afterwards. Have midwife thurs and a scan if babys still transverse. Had a section last time because of the same thing

Fingers crossed for your mot!! X

Morning.

Aaah bless, its so lovely to hear about how your pregnancy is going, It seems so long ago when I was last going through it (6 years). Its a wonderful time, enjoy it all before the chaos hits you .

Good luck with the MOT, I hope it sails through with just the £40+ MOT charge. Fingers Crossed.
