    I've sat down and had a good look at the finances today. Done a complete total up for the first time in a while. It's not looking pretty :( There's not a lot of movement.

    So that focussed me to do some listing. I've put on 17 for DH and 15 for me.

    I am really going to have to step up my game otherwise I'm going to be here forever.

    I'll need to do a lot of work on maternity leave to try and get this house sorted and get things cleared. Hopefully baby will be chilled out!

    I did a survey a while ago which was a £20 payout. For some reason they haven't paid out, so I've messaged about that. It was very time consuming so they'd better!

    Will try and update my lists now.

    You were in a similar situation for baby Jwil 1 and that turned out OK. I have no doubt you will manage it all and I'm confident that the second baby Jwil will be a very chilled little person :).

    Your maternity leave should give you a chance to take a bit of a breather and then go full-pelt into clearing some more of your stuff and raising more funds. Just remember, Jwil, that you are meant to allowing yourself some rest at this stage of your pregnancy :naughty:.

    Thanks peaceandfreedom, fingers crossed! I'm just not where I wanted to be, so panic creeps in periodically.

    Don't worry, my body isn't letting me do too much at the moment, it's very frustrating :p
