Quick pop in.....I ordered the side table that I've been eyeing up it will be used as toy storage in the living room. £200 oops! It was going to be brought sooner or later so I bite the bullet and thought get the toys sorted before Christmas brings more. We currently just have among chest and everything is a mish mash and DS can't find anything. Other than that no money spent today as we've stayed in chilling as a foursome :0D xz

Quick pop in to keep me on track money wise.I'll catch up on everyone's diaries when I get a chance.

We popped to the social club today to meet our nightbours and so DS could have a run around with their son. Used the left over change from hospital parking savings. A few £'a left will throw these in ththe sealed holiday fund jar.

Signature updated with new totals. Next week should be quite low spends potential lunch out at soft play tomorrow to meet my sister then we have DP's mum staying Tuesday so will probably get a takeaway. We're booked to register DS Thursday I have some Tesco vouchers so will use these for a nice lunch out after. Then we have bonfire party at my dads sat but won't need to take anything then a photo shoot Sunday. The savings have gone under £2000 as I ordered the toy box. Also need to order logs £80ish and then will have to pay for the photos too. Money money money!

Thank you. I'm totally smitten by his as is his big brother. So tired though as he's cluster feeding 8pm-1am. Just feeding then hoping to grab an hours sleep.

We went to a family pub earlier to meet my sister. There was soft play DS had a great time £25 spend total for drinks and a snack then dinner and pudding each. I still had pocket money left from last week so still have about £39 to spend this week. Any I don't spend will go off my next account. X

Congratuations - you sound on top of the world. Glad you are all OK and settling in to new routines.
Has your DP started his new job yet?

Hey, been a bit to busy to post. Few spends mostly on budget though so I won't go through those. We have a book shelf crammed with dvd's that don't get watched now we have the amazon fire box so decided to music magpie these/sell the rare ones on eBay. Think we'll make £100ish we will spend £35 buying another amazon fire stick for the bedroom then the rest will go into the bank to help tide us over while DP's pay switches over.

No much else to report. DP and DS are out doing a food shop and I'm just snuggling DS2. Bliss x

Quick pop in. A nice no spend weekend. I have £50 pocket money until I get paid next Tuesday. Soft play/lunch tomorrow then I haven't made any other plans this week but will need to make some. DP'a first day st the new job today. I survived the day with DS1 & 2 whoop! Managed a trip out to a friends pop to the post office to post some dvd's we sold on eBay then a nice day at home. It's not as scary having two on my own as I thought it would be. Sure there will be good and bad days though. X
