Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

Good knowledge turtle, I may try and sneak a second for each of us...! I'm totally with you both on the Santander fee hikes, as soon as they did it I ditched the 123, and although I've got a few months left before CC card fees I going now as a matter of principle!

In other news Baby SJ is on her first course of antibiotics after a mere 20days! Been ill for a week and now has a 20 a day smokers cough! Poor Mrs SJ hasn't slept a wink, I on the other hand have slept soundly much to her annoyance!

I hope BabySJ improves soon, that sounds rough!

Thanks hidden, she's already on the mend to be fair. It's just the congested snotty nose had turned into a hacking cough which can be a bit frightening to her in a 3 week old.

I can imagine! I hate hacking coughs.

Some TT updates. £1 for yesterday and 11p for today. The pot for mon-fri stands at £3.51. I must say we've spent virtually nothing aside from food and petrol this month. Let's hope o can keep Mrs SJ away from shops for 2 more weeks!

Child benefit has been sorted for baby SJ and they've already paid an amended amount. Quite impressed really. I now need to get backside in gear and open her savings account!

That seems surprisingly efficient!

Well done on the spending and TTs.

Hope all OK in here.. sounding like a frugal month for the Sj household

All is very frugal, which I love! Also hoping for a sub £50 food shop this afternoon, but buying baby milk at £10 a tin may scupper that.

Having spent a coffee break readin diaries I've just pinched a idea of SueP. As of Sunday I will add a weekly activities update to my diary when I OP my TT pot. Hopefully this will sit nicely alongside my TT's and goal of having at least 1 OP per week, and then bridge the agonising delay between each months Monthly Account. So thank you SueP.

Hidden - what's more is that it was all correct! We haven't had the birth certificate retuned yet, so let's not get too excited!
