    Good day here, I did some fun babysitting :) So a mini-payday for me. January really dragged - we are so out of cash! You did well to get your credit card sub £1k, Wendz.

    Hooray for payday Wendz! It's been a long month, eh?! :)

    Maternity leave is going OK thanks. :) Been quite busy this week and today's been the first day that I've not had plans which is a big change to last week... need to find the happy medium between not having any plans and making too many! :o Been feeling some twinges these last couple of days and starting to get a bit freaked out that this baby actually has plans to come out at some point soon! :eek:

    Glad you had fun babysitting Lara! I am repaying a mum friend this weekend by looking after her two boys sat to sun as well as Poppy. Thankfully another friend is helping me!

    Is good to make plans Birdie as that is when baby decides to come hehe.

    Well we've both been paid and done the money shuffle, thrilled to say we paid off £1921.79 from our debt on payday.

    My birthday tomorrow, waiting to see what NIM has in store. I have a feeling it will be sleeping, he's working a night shift tonight having been up all day at his regular job.

    Jebus, you're alive. I think this is the first time in 6 months you've posted on the thread, didn't even think you followed anymore. Impressed you're still awake and not pretending to be one of the old folks to catch 40 winks. I can't sleep, no kindle so no stories (FYI if anyone is a big Game of Thrones fan I've been reading some of George RR Martin's other works, reading Tuf Voyaging atm and it's, erm, very different. Can't say it's worth the spend even if it was only about £3).

    In other news just paid a further £101.81 off the credit card from some money arrived from Amazon. I have around another £200 dispersing from my Amazon account on Sunday so when that hits middle of the week that will be going off the card too. I've kept on plodding with entering these books and DVDs on music magpie, ziffit and zapper, which is only up to about £30 so far and I need to enter a lot of the numbers again as the computer battery died and it lost the list, but at least they're sorted into boxes of where they're going based on who pays the most. I can't find the clicky majiggy thing atm for our main bank accounts, so can't see if anything has arrived in there that can be paid off. NIM should be due some mystery shopping money soon, but he wouldn't give me his bank clicky to check the MS account during the week, I'm going to hope this is a birthday thing not a mistress and secret other family thing.

    Just realised with NIM at work its my job to get our extremely light sleeper under her duvet (currently sleeping with her legs at right angles up the side of the cot)... she's really active tonight, keeps waking and crying, and this morning she had me up before 6am, can't help wondering if she's maybe feeling a bit under the weather or is cutting some teeth?
