The Ultimate Incentive natters on. Part 9

Kepp

It's in the sig, no going back

Is it just money we make as extra or are we allowed to put any money in from cutting back etc?

ANY money you save or make (for the sake of clarity I'm just always going to say save, but if anyone is debt clearing I'm sure you follow me) that takes effort ie if you choose not to have a pudding with your lunch out and actively put that £5 into your challenge pot you can count it, even though you didn't go out and make it you kind of did in that you created money where usually you wouldn't have had it, anything and everything that you put towards your goal that you wouldn't normally, no matter where it comes from, even if you say 'right, this month I'll have £50 less spending money from my wages' and you put that in the pot, so long as it goes on the challenge you can count it.

Dinah - re the rolling over in bed, when DD (nearly 8) was a baby, the nurse told me that if she rolls over by herself and stays asleep then she's fine, and that by the age/stage that she can roll over and stay asleep, then she's old enough to move her head to help her breathe better.

Hope that helps and makes any sense! DD refused point blank to sleep on her back, she was a sleep on mummy kind of girl (still is when I let her!) and screamed every time she was put into her bed.

Have you any recent photos of Grace you'd be happy to put on here as I'm not a FB pal? Would love to see how she's growing up.

Darling wife, light of my life. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? I'd worked out 700ish if I can keep the current rate of MS work...erm would a free holiday worth about 2k count toward the total?

Dinah93

Only if Amex start doing barter.

So you make £700ish.... I have £1300 to make then, the point is it's achieving the impossible.

Thanks for that kittikins, I'm just such a worrier. Does anyone else follow the edspire blog? I've been OBSESSIVE about Grace's sleep since poor Matilda Mae. Poor girl wakes up freezing cold as she used to get blankets over her sleeping bag on cold nights..... now she gets an extra babygrow!

I'll put you a pic up kittkins x

N.I.M

I meant that keeping up the ms at this level made 350 a possible number between us, so doubling got us 700...*faints*

Short, sharp, mad climb out of this nasty hole.

(This one was when I left her to wriggle on the bed while I folded clothes, she wriggled to the top, got all of her under the duvet, then sat back up! Clearly it wasn't getting up time as I thought!)

Yes, it is so so sad. That is why I got rid of blankets during the night.

This time next year expect to see an article on bbcnews on unexplained blanket sale drop off, I reckon every parent who reads that suddenly starts adopting the Swedish philosophy that cold is good for them.
