Aww she is, I know everyone thinks they have beautiful babies but I really do. If I'm good at anything it's making good looking babies :rotfl: xx

£45 for a PT is very expensive. £20-30 is the going rate round here. (I live in Stoke) my DP used to be a PT and he charged £25 but then offered a discount for block bookings!

I must live with my head in the clouds, I didn't want to pay anymore than £20...MAX :rotfl::eek: xx

Re pts that is a bit steep that one 45 quid is top end of what pts will charge. Its all relative though depending on where you live in the country.

Hi Scott! I live just outside Manchester, but think I have been quoted central London prices! Needless to say the PT is on hold! The park is free...xx

Hi reality. Finally caught up with your diary - I've read through from February. What can I say? But I know what I can say:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

(That's pink for a girl. I'm old-fashioned!:))

What fantastic news and lots of love to the three of you! Quite a life changer but you sound so very happy and contented. I wouldn't worry about spending on yourself for now - I think you deserve it.

I'm glad you're enjoying your trip away. Brighton is really buzzy and fun.

Re the personal trainer - I've signed up for six months. Pay monthly and it works out at £35 per session. That's local to me at home (south east Essex). In the City where I work Matt Roberts' gym down the road costs over £100! but the going rate in Central London still seems around the £60 mark. Still paying the above is getting my lazy backside to the gym!

Hi SG! I know blink and you miss a baby!! I loved Brighton, seems just a nice happy place to live! I am putting my PT dreams on hold, I just don't have the money. Perhaps when I get to the point like you and in a better fiancial position I can invest in myself with things like this! good on you with having all that motivation! xx

That's us home from the wedding, it was such a lovely day and I am in love with Brighton. I didn't go over my budget as basically OH paid for mostly everything! He really wants us to book a holiday before Christmas....had a look and there are good last minute deals, it's just the spending money when you arrive! And the duty free temptation! Baby passport and some clothes....we will see! Going to speak to a few friends and see if any of them have any staff travel available. Due a bonus in Novembers wage too, but I'm not agreeing to anything yet.

Get paid next Friday, and for some reason everything seems to be going too well....no budgets blown and no credit card being used...famous last words!!!

Also need to book a hotel for a wedding we are going to next month in Glasgow! Will maybe hold off until see how much I am being paid first or so I can at least have one month where I don't ADD TO MY DEBT!! I better stop with the spam on my way page, a million posts by me!

Off to take the dog a walk - he is the most walked dog out there right now. I am also keeping my dog walker during maternity, slightly annoying but I don't want to lose him and this is his income so I have cut down to 2 days so £20 a week xxx

I have just spent £22 on shampoo and conditioner with free delivery from a website I have neard heard of! I normally spend that per bottle and when something seems too good to be true, it normally is....but I like to take a risk, so card details in and hoping for the best! Used my credit card just incase but will transfer money from my bank over to over it.

Let's hope my next post isn't one about being a victim of credit fraud :rotfl: xxx

Ever heard of it?

I use Wella Professionals Brilliance shampoo and conditioner. I normally spend £10.50 each I think on feelunique for 250ml (thought was for 500ml so even worse than I thought!) but this one worked out at £21.95 for both with 1000ml in each!!!

I will let you know if my order actually arrives lol money has been taken, I ordered on Wednesday so hopefully come next week! xxx
