Evening all

Well it's been a hectic few days been feeling a bit off too. Anyways decorating is finished just need to catch up on housework in the other rooms tomorrow and wait for my new tv coming

I went to see my consultant today and I'm booked into have baby on 10th September so excited if somewhat nervous, anyways need to get sorted before baby arrives.

I received some cheques for competition I won so they have gone into bills account towards bills at end of the month, the money from selling my old tv is also going in bills account and we have sold our old fire which we are putting towards accessories for living room

DS2 is still awake and upset so will sign off an try and get him settled goodnight all xx

10th of September is a lovely date.

I have a bit of a thing about even numbers. I was booked in for induction with DD1 on the 19th of Feb and I really disliked that date It worked out well as I wanted to start pushing at 11.30pm and she was back to back so the midwife asked my to resist pushing if I could until she turned a little. She was well aware of my desire to have DD1 on the 20th I couldn't hold off at 11.50pm but it took 20 mins to push her out so I have her 10 minutes into the 20th Feb.

I was taken in on the 21st September to have DD2 (but for some reason I like the sound of the 21st) Though turned out that my chunky baby took quite a while to make an appearence to I had her at 3am on the 22nd

How exciting!!

I hope you got DS2 settled and that your telly arrives soon!

Thanks OF yeah I like the sound of the 10th both my boys birthdays are odd numbers never really thought of that before ha I've got another scan at the end of August to check size of baby, so very excited.

Well the TV has arrive and it's gorgeous!!!! however we have put it on the wall but have found its pretty solid so OH can't feed wires into the wall so the plan is to chisel into the wall to set the wires in then we are going to have to replace a piece of the wallpaper, this is being down next weekend now we are just gonna enjoy the TV for now

OH has got the car seat and Moses basket from the loft they just need cleaning now will do that tomorrow, done loads of cleaning up today and have friends coming later so need time to rest before hand.

Have a good day everyone x

Afternoon all

Didn't feel all that well yesterday so only went to Aldi then tried to rest for remainder of the day, watched a couple of films on the new TV so OH and DS1 were happy.

Spent £75 at aldi, got majorly stocked up though the fridge is fit to bursting as are the cupboards. I've received some dishwasher tablets to test so have enough of those now to last probably til Christmas. Also treated myself to a hand blender (going to make some homemade soups) and a steamer pan so if I hadn't have bought these shopping would only have been around £50 so not bad.

Made cottage pie for tea last night, OH is having the leftovers tonight as is DS2, me and DS1 will have some chicken wraps, won't need to buy any bread today as OH can take tuna wraps for lunch tomorrow then they don't go to waste.

Didn't manage to get the Moses basket and car seat cleaned yesterday or today oops so that is a job for tomorrow.

So tomorrow ill

Clean/wash Moses basket and car seat
Pick up some table mats I have bought from a local selling site 8 place settings for £5 bargain!
Buy some new leggings my other ones have holes in, I have lived in them pretty much everyday for the last 8 months so can't complain
Check fridge see what needs using and do a meal plan.
Take ds2 swimming lessons
Buy bread, milk and nappies

So going to be a spendy day but all needed and everything is paid which needed paying so I'm happy, rest of the week should be low spends.

Right enough wittering from me take care all xx

Hi Bella, sorry to hear you didn't feel too good yesterday, hope you feel better today, don't over do it!

Have to say I'm loving Aldi and i'm a real convert, can't see me going back to doing big shops at sainsbury's or asda.

Take care PWPS.x

Evening all

Well today went pretty much to plan

I managed to clean the car seat and Moses basket
Bought some new leggings
Took ds1 swimming lessons
Picked up my table mats
Bought, nappies, wipes, bread, milk, also some socks for baby (we're in the sale) new potatoes for OHs tea tomorrow and some cheese (we buy smart price pizzas from @sda 2 for £2 I think there 12inch and we just add our own toppings, today we had pizzas with ham, spicy chicken, sweet corn, mushrooms and chillies and extra cheese)

We are going to a christening on Sunday so tomorrow I will look through wash basket for OHs shirt and trousers get them washed and dried ready for ironing, OH is godfather so we need to make an effort, I also need to try to find something that fits this pregnant belly in. May also need to buy DS2 something to wear he has a pair of chinos so maybe just a new top, DS1 is all sorted.

I have done a few days worth of competitions today and also quite a few surveys so quite productive.

Still need to do a meal plan but that can be done later in week if need be.

Right going to chill out for a while, DS2 has fallen asleep and DS1 and OH have gone to bed so TV and relax for me, have a good night everyone x

Morning all

Yesterday wasn't a great day was exhausted and had heartburn all day, was ratty so ended up bickering with OH. Did end up getting lots of washing done and kept on top of the daily chores, so not all bad.

Did end up with a takeaway which isn't MSE at all but I was to fed up to care, (plus really enjoyed it lol)

Well today is a new day DS2 slept really well and feeling a lot brighter today, right off for now will check in later with an update

Xx

pennywisepoundstupid

Glad DS2 slept better and your feeling a bit brighter.

bella2121

Thanks pwps

Not had a bad day done yet more washing! I don't know where it comes from luckily its nice and warm so could peg it out to dry.

I ordered a christening present from eBay for Sunday only costing 6.99 and I was thinking about spending around £20 so money saved there, but I have ordered a Ewan the dream sheep, its meant to help babies and toddlers sleep was 19.99 on amazon, it goes for more than this second hand on eBay so thought it was worth a go if not for DS2 for new baby.

My mum took DS1 to cinema today so he's happy and didn't cost me anything.

Today I need to get bread and milk will go shop when OH finishes work.

All daily chores upto date and may attempt some ironing the pile is getting a bit out of control.

Managed some surveys today, have received a payout from quidco 2.31 better in my pocket than there's and waiting for 3.00 from my survey to go into PayPal, also managed to do quite a lot of competitions

Oh and I received a letter from one of my creditors today saying thank you for maintaining my reduced payments and to continue my payments as normal but they will update my credit file as showing payments upto date which will be good for my credit file? Not sure what this means in the big scheme of things but sounded positive

Hope everyone has a good afternoon xx
