  • That's a great update, but more importantly, did you ever paint your nails ;)

    Ok, seriously thought, it's nice to hear you has DH are going well. It's lovely to hear that, it really is x

    It's all very exciting on the job front for you. I wish you the best if luck :)

    You're doing really well on the debt side. I'm looking forward to an updated signature soon. Have you tried surveys to up your cash, it's a slow process but I have one I can recommend (the only one I do now as it pays out the quickest) just an idea x

    I hope your week continues to go this well :)

  • I'll PM you a survey site if you want. I've tried 8 different sites and I get the same issues on 6 of them, 1 took me two years to see a payment. This one is the only one I like...

    I'm terrible with Quidco, I keep forgetting to actually use it! I'll look into that app!!!

    I remember DH going for a new job... It took 3 months for an answer, the 8 months to get him into the job!!! It was terrible really :/

    I always budget for no pay increases and never count my chickens before they hatch. But I also add 10% to certain bills on their anniversary (Gas, Electric, Water, insurance, Council Tax etc) so if prices increase that's ok, most things don't increase that much and it's money in the bank :)

    I'm good thanks, DD2 (11 days old) has given me 7hrs + sleep with 1 wake up for the last 2 nights :)

    Sleep is very important with 3 children (DD1 is 22 months so very important as no slowing down during the day)
