My target for March is £300. Not sure i will make it but will give it a go.0 -
Just read about Matilda Mae now. That is horrific. I put a blanket over Evie but I don't tuck it in, so it is loosely over her (very loosely). Max has a duvet that is tucked in but again it is fairly loose. He is well able to pull it out though. That is extremely scaryTotal (Aug 19):€58,567 Now:€26,947

And booked the hotel in the lakes for me and mum, that wasn't even on the list till I found the deal, was planning to do that over the weekend. And made NIM a batch of soup. So today was fairly productive but unfocused. Not as good as yesterday.
Just had a call from my cousin to ask if I'm okay to stay with her rather than the other cousin I was staying with, no issue with staying at hers except I have to share the sofa/lounge with the dog, this dog is their baby really, and very erm, affectionate, and I hate dogs, they scare the living daylights out of me, I'm not going to sleep at allDebt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Hi everyone. Going to join in March Madness and try and save £200. That will pay off my overdraft and mean that I actually have money when I get paid! Have no idea how I'm going to do it but will try! That being said our council tax bills are going to go down as will our water bill from 1st April so we'll be saving some money there!
And Grace is so cute! Can't believe how big she's getting!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
She's a giant! Something has clicked with my as we get out of the winter and as she's nearly one.... or more realistically that talk her neonatologist had with me really worked, but I'm starting finally to see her as a healthy child rather than a fragile baby. Have spent tonight looking for a class or two I can take her to.
Still can't imagine going back to work though, the idea of leaving her with a stranger makes me panic so much I can't think straight.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Just read through Martin's email and it clicked that I shouldn't have paid council tax this month. I am going to apply for refund. Are you paying monthly? Have you paid this month? Maybe that will cover your shortfall too?0

Don't think I'm going to my cousin's hen do tomorrow. It would mean leaving this afternoon and getting back Friday morning. It's all paid up but I've been crying on and off for 2 hours now, and scaring Grace by refusing to put her down, I just feel terrified of leaving her for that long. I feel so useless, this is something I should enjoy, I've been looking forward to it, and instead I'm a pathetic wreak who can't even leave their child in the very safe hands of her husband and parents for 48 hours.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Aww shucks, thanks for the kind comments yesterday.
I'm really struggling, but determined to finish somehow.
Grace is looking so adorable! It was lovely to see those pics. She's such a bonnie thing now, it's wonderful. She looks like you both. I'm glad you're looking at some classes, Dinah. It was such a lot of worry for all of you, I'm sure it just takes a little while to get into a different way of thinking about things.
Good luck on the March madness challenge! I'm not going to join, although cash is a bit short. We are £250 in our OD, and my funding money runs out realistically at the end of August. But there's no room in my brain for anything other the writing and DIY. Birdie, you should make a little Etsy shop with your cards
I'm so jealous of all these big trips to Africa and Canada! Have fun ladies:A :heartpuls June 2014 / £2014 in 2014 / £735.97 / 36.5%0 -
Sorry Dinah, I cross posted with you. Could you just go for the day and see how you feel? Then make a decision in the evening whether to come home or not?:A :heartpuls June 2014 / £2014 in 2014 / £735.97 / 36.5%0
