That's the same with Fox's things! We got some organisation boxes from Ikea for drawers so under his changing table we've got all his first size things folded up. Everything in the wardrobe is 3 months + (and some up to 8lb tiny things my Sister bought, which I'm hoping will be his coming home outfit if he's small enough!) I actually took a photo of everything all neat and "making sense" because I'm sure after the first two days it'll be pure chaos :rotfl:
Christmas reindeer sounds adorable, Wendz!! I can't wait until next year when we can get seasonal clothes for Fox. Although, I've already got quite a few halloween things for him for "all year" wearThis being my favourite!
That's awesome about the dresses!! :j:j:j I went to hide my pre-pregnancy dresses in a suitcase over the weekend but discovered OH had Russian Doll'd the suitcases and when I finally got to the centre, it was being used to store an influx of overnight bags
Hope you take all the foodie pictures on your holidayHave a jalapeno and cheese pretzel dog for meee!

I'm going to a work quiz night on Friday night and it's Hallowe'en theme; when we were discussing the 'costumes optional' notice on the poster everyone in my team said they categorically were *not* dressing up. So yesterday I said 'Why don't we all just wear black and little witches hats on headbands, all classy-like?' which led to a conversation and a Google and we're now all getting properly dressed up and I'm not impressed because I saw a load of bits I could've bought at the weekend but didn't and now I won't get a chance to go back and buy them! #firstworldproblemsI was practicing my witchy make-up last night and had a [STRIKE]minor[/STRIKE] major panic when I couldn't remove the green eye-liner that I'd used to colour in my eyebrows! I was convinced I'd still have green brows this morning and was wondering how the heck I'd explain that away! :eek:

Has everyone seen the £7 boost on £30 amazon giftcards in this weeks email? Thought it might be good for people starting to get Christmas things!
Always fun when you can't quite remove makeup! You'd have just had to say you were serving up Halloween realnessAt least you got it off in the end! I've been coveting all the Halloween things on Asos this year, did a search for anything maternity that I can actually wear and all they have is this kinda boring kinda cute grey jumper with fricken TINY ghost elbow patches :rotfl: But even with my complaining it will be mine when they start putting everything on sale

Crazy busy. Two assignments for Quidco this week, and I'm way way behind on work for Mr Museum and I can't remember when I last put any deals on my feed let alone built the site. Away with mum Friday-Tuesday so I need to be all sorted before then. If I could get a completely empty week, no husband, no kids, no housework, I'd start to feel on top of all the work I have to do.
Bit of minor money saving though, if you go to Wahanda you get £5 off your first appointment booked online, my eyebrows haven't been done in about 6 weeks so are fully back in and I just lose so much confidence by this tiny thing, BUT there is a lady on there in my area who is a mobile beautician, comes to your house and does them for £6 (£2 less than I usually spend at the beauty place in town) - so I only paid £1 and someone is actually coming to my house so no petrol spend either. Chuffed with that.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Yikes, that does sound busy! But you're a two kiddo household with both parents working full time +. Cut yourself a bit of slack
Hope you have a nice holiday! Is this your last one for the year? Know you said you're staying at home next year, so make sure you enjoy it and try not to work too much! Is NIM staying at home?
Looked at Wahanda, but I'm too rural to get any dealsBut my haircut is only £12 anyways so I can't really complain. Need to go book for the end of November before the Christmas rush! My hair is growing really quickly so I'm just letting it do it's thing and coping with how it looks
But December I'll actually have to look nice so I need to be prettified (or as near as they can get me to it!)

I am just about to leave to get my hair done. It will be £65 but it was £95 however I've managed to find some good for less. I only get it done about twice a year. I get a cut a highlights to blend in the grey. I wear my hair long and just put it up in different styles so I can usually get away with it.
I too have been match betting, I found it quite hard to begin with but it's starting to come now. I use fixmyodds website which helps.Total debt Feb 2012 = £54354.11 😳

Hmmm I think a lot of people would like that!
I just checked Wahanda for nail people and the only option that comes up is an at home spa service that turns up for 1-5 hours for the bargain price of £120 (1hr) - £325 (5hrs)! Maybe not....
I've been cutting my hair at home for the last few months, we got a scissor set to do Zach's mop so I just do my own since all I get in a salon is a trim and a thin out. It's a bit wonky, but not that noticable! Anyway, I'm 'treating' myself to a dry cut tomorrow for my holiday and DH was oddly happy about this, think he's trying to suggest that my home hairdressing doesn't look that great?!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary.
