Hoping to pop to the shops tomorrow morning before hubby is home just for some fruit for him, and maybe a newspaper, that should be it then. Oh and maybe some water and sprite for my hospital bag. Only 6 days to go. Although I've been having some cramping and contractions today so it may be sooner.

Well done on the NSD 's strummergirl

Lucky Clover - you don't seem to have done too badly and you haven't blown your budget on c**p even though you are red.

MissE001 - I am enjoying my time off actually. Although looking forward to meeting little one now.

Hope everyone is well.

Hey!

I have COMPLETELY blown budget this week, TBH I have even lost track of it too...I think I have a reasonable reason though.

My mum was rushed into hospital on Wednesday and, as she is my Grandads full time career, I had to take over! My budget has been blown on back and forths between the hospital, food, stuff for mum...so on and so forth! I dread to think what it has come to lol.

Thankfully mum is ok and back home! I'm staying here for a few more days till she is 100% back to herself and able to look after Grandad.

Hopefully I will have a bit more luck next week

Oh no what a week you've had.

Glad to hear your mum is on the mend, hope whatever it was wasn't too bad.

Sometimes things are just sent to try us, and you haven't blown it on being frivolous, it's all been required spends. So I wouldn't beat yourself up about it.

Wow--- all is happening here. Kind of feeling there may not be a new thread here next week and your baby will have arrived ETO. Soooooo exciting!!!! Quite fancy a baby myself-- but I am way past that :-(

Hope all is well with your Mum now Gemma.
