the giggles get you like that sometimes hon, a few weeks ago i was having a skype chat and was absolutely howling. felt great!

Right, just had a look at my money for the next 2 months - everything seems okay apart from my credit card, which has £60 on it. I will try to come up with some sort of plan to clear that.

My outgoings are £742 per month including my contribution to the bills, shopping etc, plus my sharesave payments. I have exactly £1k left in the 'maternity leave savings' account, and 2 months to go until I start earning again, so that leaves me with £242 to find each month. I get £120 child benefit, and £110 tax credits, so that just leaves me with £12 to find, which I can definitely do.

Leaves me with absolutely nothing, but it has given me precious extra time with Natasha (and Ryan as well, during the school holidays), which I just couldn't put a price on. And to be honest, after the couple of months we have just had, I don't think I would have coped if I had had to deal with work too.

thats great news snaggles, only a tiny short fall and so most defiantely worth it with the extra time with the little ones. Just relax and enjoy it now you don't need to worry about the money. x

Snaggles

Hahahaha, what are you all like! You have set me off laughing now. Hope no-one sees me sitting here alone, laughing at the laptop!

(Natasha is still in her pram because she dozed off on the school run and STILL hasn't woken up, lazy monkey!!) :A

When I worked in a bank we had a customer called Mr Everest and we used to giggle about how long it would take to reach his peak.
