I've written off November now and set some new targets for December. Will have to see how MOT etc goes as to how well I get on. Oh, and the whole baby thing too
I expect most if any progress will be made at the end of Dec once Christmas is past."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
I've built up a new spreadsheet of the debt so I can keep track of things better. Last month, despite not doing a lot, it still reduced overall by £173. So that's pretty good. Hopefully can improve on that.
I finish work this week, can't wait now! Had physio yesterday, they were annoyed that I hadn't been referred earlier :mad: I've been given crutches and some exercises to do, and advice for labour and after the birth.
Just packing some ebay sales now, another few items gone this weekend. I put some BINs on on Sunday, and sold 2 almost straight away and another one yesterday. Very pleased with that as I can use that for fuel for the car. Hopefully my fuel bill will go down significantly now once I'm not commuting any more which should save some pennies.
I'm going to take some pics of the house I think, and then do the same next year so I can see how far I've come. I think I may have done the same last year, so will have to have a look and see if I can find them.
DH was on fire this weekend, he went on with sorting his stuff out and has now pulled out a load more to get rid of. I listed some more for him at the weekend, got to keep the momentum going"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Can't find any pictures of the house, but whilst looking have deleted 300 odd photos off the laptop so a bit of decluttering there"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

9lb... We shall see those scans are always way off. Just go by last baby and add a bit. Dd2s head circumference was over 99.6th at birth. That's the bit that hurts
Sorry they just gave you crutches. More of a hindrance than a help. They tried to get me a wheelchair and I just laughed. Then cried.
I would stop worryingget the tree up so that's done in time and have some time off. Xxx

I agree, they thought little jwil was going to be big and he wasn't. All of the measurements are off the scale at the moment.
I don't think I'll be using the crutches, but they told me to take them and if I need them I've got them.
I do plan on having some time off, but keep getting edgy at home when I see all that needs to be done. It will be enforced when baby gets here I'm sure"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Thanks Brizzle, I agree, it's a bit difficult to use crutches with a small one!
I'm going to try and get the photos done today I think.

Happy first day of maternity leave to me!
It's started so well, rubbish sleep last night due to pelvis pain. Little jwil has been up since 4am, DH is at work and it's not a nursery day. I'm absolutely shattered!

Ooh maternity leave. Yay! During my leave I've accrued enough holiday for another month off!! So I don't go back til March 29th yay
that'll help you out too, right?
I have a box and put all my eBay stuff in it as I decide to sell it then when I get a chance I get it all out and schedule it all and put it back in the box so it's out of the way. But if I don't get a chance it's still out the way. Away from my little hands.
