Lunars Debt Free Journy!!!

lunar

I dont think i do so well with the overpayments as it seems, i just always log in to post when i do make one! I have made a £100 overpayment today as i had £96 come through from paypal.

I think you will have made the name cuthbert to popular to use now, by the tme he is born. I dont think my OH actually realises we will have a baby soon. he seems to be stuck on the pregnancy part. he keeps talking about things we can do like going on holiday when im not pregnant, i think he forgets that there will be a demanding addition to our house!!!

Just joined up to the payment a day challenge. it might make me stop buying things every day at work. need to get into my banking and set up payments to my nat west CC.

Made my daily payment to nat west. Ive been getting stomach cramps all day today on and off. im wishing i didnt have to go into work tomorrow but as i dont have long to go will get myself there.

I did manage to have a no spend day today, after a long time without one, ive also made sandwiches for tomorrow so will aim to have another NSD.

managed a no spend day again today, ill try and make it 3 in a row tomorrow. I have also cleaned my kitchen, hall, one bathroom, lounge and dining room! ill have to try get the rest done tomorrow after work tomorrow. then its just the ironing nightmare to face. I guess everyones jobs list has been making me feel guilty.

I also got my second e-bay item listed and made a daily payment of £5 to the nat west card. If i can get really organised with all my house jobs over the next weekthen i think i can justify unpacking things in the nursery next weekend, which im really excited to do.

Got the rest of the cleaning done, the house has never looked so tidy. i even sorted out the kitchen cuboards. just the dreaded ironing left to do. Ive made my payment a day and have got 3 litems isted on ebay. I have also sorted everything in the house that will go on ebay into a few boxes (well lots of boxes) so i know what i have to face.

im so glad its the weekend and im off work im definatly ready to sleep in tomorrow morning.

*sigh* I remember the last few weeks of pregnancy when my house was clean, tody and organised. I probably shouldn't have bothered - it currently looks as if a tornado has blown through!

Try breastfeeding - it's fab (for weightloss - not so great while you're being kicked, scratched, pinched and bitten though you may get a calmer baby than I have!). I'm lighter than before I was pregnant and everyone keeps telling me how great I look (course they could just mean that I looked a complete hag while pregnant!!) Probably all the miles I walk while carrying Tom helps too; having a very demanding baby does have some advantages!!

LOL, I certainly hope so, something needs to happen to help me get slim!

You really have been getting organised! I have been naff the last couple of days and have been off work so no excuse.

Ive finally got to the bottom of the ironing pile, i was so close to getting someone in to do it for me! Ive also been keeping up with my ebay listing and the daily payments.

Im getting do tired now and really achey. my hips are also really hurting. ive got 3 weeks left to work until my maternity leave starts. i cant wait now, i really dont know how people manage to work right up until their due date.

Mum brought over loads of things she has been buying for the baby, including my moses basket and a rocking stand. I think he has more things than we do before he is even born!

Hope you are getting on well Hayley, im sure you are more organised than i am. Chocaholic, ill be lucky if i manage to keep things tidy until he is born. my oh is just so messy!

Hi Lunar - how long have you got left before little'un arrives? Completely sypmathise with the achey feelings - hope everything is going well x x

lunar

Just over 8 weeks to go, everything sems to be going well. Im just hoping that the next 2 month flys by. Even though i have started to be scared about the birth! Also been getting a panicy feeling that i wont have a clue what to do with a baby when he gets here.

Honestly Lunar dont worry about a thing - I had never even held a newborn before I had my daughter. I didnt know how to put a nappy on or dress them or bath them or anything. I had a massive panic attack about 2 weeks before DD was born thinking that I would never get through labour (im a wuss) and I didnt know what I was doing with a baby!

But (and I know it is a cliche) you do pick things up really quickly and instinctively (sp?) midwives showed me how to do everything after DD was born - I had another 2 years later so it cant have been that bad!

You will be fine and an amazing mum - I have no doubt about that x x
