    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker Post of the Month
    I've had the stuff on the spare bed for ages, but just thought if I pack I'll end up unpacking to check i have everything. :D

    But as I've been having some cramps I thought I should just do it. I'm pretty sure I have everything, :D I've even put the money for the car park with the bags.

    Sooo organised you wonderful person, I have never been blessed with children -so I'm not the voice of experience :obut are you sure those are cramps????:eek::eek:
    Best of luck for whenever bump decides to emerge, do you think the hospital will think it odd when you name bump NSD:rotfl::rotfl:

    Ahhh, big hugs Freeby, it does get hard sometimes doesn't it - bit like a rollercoaster. I love the feeling of making the next month's payments (well I'd rather the money was staying in my acc but you know what I mean) then get all impatient in the middle of the month waiting for the next pay day.

    Yes, really chuffed about the pie - the best bit was deff people asking for the recipe, and saying they'd been talking about it at home etc and their OH has asked them to make it etc etc :D

    Yesterday was #3 - already spent on my budgeted haircut today though so def not one today.

    I'll really need to knuckle down if I'm going to get anywhere near target this month.....possibly tomorrow but def not Monday (birthday lunch), Tuesday or Wednesday (working away from home)

    I'll keep chipping away but may have peaked last month :D

    Happy weekend :)

    Thursday and today were NSDs 3 and 4 for me.

    Friday was a spend day because of some planned vet visits but I saved some money. The vet saw both my rats for only one consultation fee, sort of a BOGOF! And I shopped around to find a vet that was having a rabbit health month and would do my rabbit's combined vaccine for £30 plus a free consultation and free food.
