When you're off work you will have more time (maybe!) for ebaying etc so you can bump up your income that way. Although a toddler and a newborn are a lot of work, quite a shock to the system in fact .

That's the plan (hope!). I'm not under any illusions it's going to be easy. Little jwil will still be in nursery 3.5 days a week so hopefully that will help.

I was hoping to get ahead of myself so I could chill out a bit on maternity leave, but it's not looking good so far. I'll have to carry on and see how we get on

I managed to get a few bits listed for Dh yesterday. Not much else achieved though.

Not sure what the plan is for this weekend, I think DH wants to go out but I don't so we'll see who wins

Hope everyone is well

Oh dear, epic fail. We went out this morning and wound up having a big row Not very successful day so far

Aw jwil - hope you've made up now? rows are horrible though aren't they? ((hugs))

Your payments are going brilliantly :T Not sure what your targets are for but all heading in the right direction which is the main thing

Sorry you've been feeling so rough and sorry about the rows..

Fingers crossed you all feel better soon.

On the financial side though you're doing great. The PADs seem to be working well.

Thank you

We've made up now.

My targets are overpayments I'd like to make towards certain debts to get them below a certain level.

Hey everyone

Obviously Saturday was a washout

Sunday we had a mooch around the car boot sales, but I was very restrained.

I did manage to get a baby seat for the baby by using Tesco vouchers and the clubcard boost. It meant it only cost £1 :T I've been looking out for this particular seat for ages, but it doesn't seem to come up very often. It seems to have a good resale value as well so should be able to get some money back when baby outgrows it. (It's baby to toddler, so should last a while).

Our washing machine finally died a death on Sunday So we have ordered a new one. I have listed the old one and also listed the other one we bought with us to this house. Fingers crossed someone will take them off our hands. That will clear a nice bit of space purely from the one that we've been storing for years. If they don't go, then they will be stuck on Freecycle to try and clear them and save us trying to get them to the tip.

We did contemplate trying to get it repaired, but it's been going for a while now, and figured for the cost of a call out plus any parts, it was just as cheap to get a new one. It's going to get a battering next year when the new baby is here anyway, especially when I'm using cloth nappies.

Quite a few bits sold on ebay this weekend, so I have lots of packing to do. DH has also finally sorted out a load of stuff and prepped it so I have a lot of listing to do as well.

I've got to take little jwil to the doctors this afternoon as well, so that will eat into my time, but I'm fed up with him suffering and keeping being told that he'll grow out of it.
