Ok so budget re-done - credit card bill seems very high if ive worked it out correctly, may wait until tuesday when my statement is due! There is enough in the current account to cover it. All bills have come out except our mobiles, which i must downgrade next month, well dh's anyway!
Leaves £530 at the end of the month currently. Not bad! But only because i had a really good pay last month.
This month i have:
paid off od - £900 over both
£500 towards new car
£400 final payment on pram
£120 cot
And should have a min of £500 left over! Fingers crossed!
That leaves me £90 for any 'other'
Ok on to step two for the day...Still here..... but working on that!0 -
Just written my 50 things to do before baby arrives, which i will stick on the frigde when i get home, some are trivial, but others i'll plod through. If i get two a day done i should get it done before baby gets here....

Thank u! I'm just rounding down my bank account to the nearest £10 everytime it changes. It's seriously adding up, did it a couple of years back and cant believe the difference it makes, its not like u notice £3 less in your account etc xStill here..... but working on that!0 -
im ok. im back monday to see if baby has turned the right way...if not they'll try and turn her & if that doesnt work, will be booked in for c-section which isnt exactly what i wanted but i guess as long as she is here safe thats what matters.
