Yes, thankfully, I've so had enough now!

We had a busy and spendy weekend.

The camera finally died so we had to buy a new one. Urgently needed for ebay sales (and baby photos!).

We also made a trip to Ikea to get little jwil a bed so that we can claim the cot back for baby. So that's all done. It's not up yet, we've still got to clear space, but at least we've got it now.

I've started Christmas shopping as well, not got loads to buy now, but want to get that done asap for obvious reasons

I'm going to write all of my Christmas cards and leave them ready so I can just pop a birth announcement in and then chuck them in the post when the time comes.

I've pretty much decided that much of Christmas dinner this year will be ready prepped stuff. DH will help where he can but it will just be much easier to shove stuff straight in the oven. Going to order our turkey joint from the local farm shop this weekend.

I had a look through my old wage slips from when I was off with little jwil at the end of last week. I wanted to remind myself of how much I wound up taking home. It was a good move as it was higher than I remembered, so I know I'll have enough to cover the main bills until I go into the unpaid section of maternity leave, so will just need to try and cover additional costs with selling stuff etc. That's better than I was thinking.

I have to pay childcare this time, but little jwil will be getting his free hours from April, so that will reduce some of the expenditure. I'm not entirely sure how the childcare vouchers will work when I'm on enhanced maternity pay, but they are not allowed to take them from SMP so I should get them free then which is good. Also need to find out about when I am unpaid, whether I still get them then or not.

We sold loads of stuff over the weekend, so have loads of packing to do. I took the first batch this morning. DH sold 39 items alone yesterday :eek:

Going to try and have a big push this month, then I'm planning on taking December off at least until Christmas. Then we'll see how things are going with baby as to when I restart.

Hope everyone is well
