  • Good news on the recent sales Haybel, well done :beer:

    Gentle hugs & fusses for Max, spooky as one of mine is also poorly atm and looking like a vet visit is on the cards :(

    Sounds like you've got some lovely activities to do with the Princess, and after you're recent lows, it should be really good for you both :A

    Did you have a look into any of the micro sites or craft sales ones ?

  • :( Sorry you've had a bad end to the week, but good that you managed to add £50 to your tally :T

    It's hard trying to deal with a sudden drop in income, especially a big one. It doesn't leave you any room to prepare for it or (if possible) to get alternatives in place to soften it.

    Will be nice for you to have Mr Haybel at home for a while though, even if you're not able to do too much with the time. :p

    Had a lovely weekend. Started baby yoga with Tilly-Mae on thursday which she loves. On Saturday we had a photoshoot which my brother and his partner brought us for xmas which was fab, sunday Tilly-Mae has her first swimming lesson at a specialist baby swimming pool. Was lovely family time.

    Tilly-Mae rolled over for the first time at the photoshoot literally on cue as we put her on her tummy for some shots and said oh she doesnt roll over yet.... :rotfl:

    Not much to report- sold a few more bits my total for the make £10 a day challenge in March was 258.56 :j very pleased with this but need to beat this in April as have both tax and MOT and what with the drop in income its going to be tight...

    Managed to pay an extra £55 off my debt lower than previous months but then so is the income... Total extra payments of £274 since mid January though and it all helps...

  • Well done Haybel - That's a good result! Even if not as much as hoped for :T:T

    My March total was also a little disappointing compared to what I was aiming for, but as they say - every little helps! ;)

    Oh, nearly forgot ... did you get my PM ?
