    My blog views are way down this week :( not sure why at all? I feel like I've lost my blogging mojo a bit, maybe that's why.

    Happy Saturday everyone :)

    Well, you have got something else on your mind! Maybe a baby/pregnancy related money post?

    Hope you had a nice weekend, it's nearly half term :T

    I agree - in the land of frugal blogging you get points for a) being a woman (check), b) being young (check), c) being married (check) and d) having babies (check) :rotfl:

    The last one always confuses me, surely there are few things less frugal than the decision to start a family? ;)

    Share your new preggers status with the world! :T

    I am off work today as I've got the worse cold ever which seems to have developed rapidly since Saturday. I have lost my hearing in my right ear and have a temperature as well. As you can probably tell, I'm feeling rubbish and don't want to do anything much. I don't want to be ill either - the sickness was just starting to wear off and now this! Meh.

    Obviously, today will be a NSD as I don't plan on leaving the house. We're supposed to be having spag bol for tea but I don't know if I can be bothered to cook it as of yet. We shall see.

    Happy Monday everyone :)

    Sorry you're feeling carp. There is so much going around our school, almost everyone has been off with it at some point.

    Look after yourself :)

    Thanks everyone :)

    The problem is I can't take any of the usual cold/flu remedies as you can't when pregnant, so currently supping on some hot water with a slice of lemon and honey and hoping that'll do something.

  • Huuuuge congratulations!!! :):D Sorry for being so late to the party, I'm a catch up every few weeks type lurker, not a daily reader!

    Also, I'm guilty of reading your blog emails, not the site itself. If there's a lot of us doing the same that might impact your page views? You have at least one regular reader here that reads every new post but isn't a 'site visitor'... If you start to monetize the blog I will change my habits though, any plans on that front? You have hosting fees and domain name costs to cover so some ads at least would be fair!
