I've decided to keep the money, and pay the outstanding £19.63 from my Bank Account to clear the JA. Yay! One debt done and a target met! :cool: 2 debts left...

That's brilliant, I think I'd have done the same thing.

Morning all,

Just a quick drop in to say hello. I had most of the day off the laptop yesterday, so have lots of diary's to catch up on later. Penultimate day in work today, yay!!!:j

Yesterday I did manage to do the ironing and write a meal plan. I'll share it later, when I have time to write a longer post. I'll do the online shop for the food tonight. I also managed to order 2 bits for my nieces birthday present online from The Works, and had a 10% off voucher. Considering the 2 things came to £4.50 it wasn't a huge saving, but it's all about my new mindset of trying to make every penny stretch further!!!!

Need to work on this with OH though...I fell asleep on the sofa early yesterday evening and woke up as OH was coming back through the front door with a KFC...:o that's 2 takeaways in 3 days now!!!! When I asked why he had gone KFC, he said he couldn't be bothered to cook (read he was tired and hungover from night before I think). I'm not even enjoying take-aways atm, they make me sleep even worse than I normally would. The salt maybe? I didn't enjoy it all, so it was another waste of money. Grrr!

Ah well, soon I will hopefully be in a better position to have dinner started/done before OH has a chance to consider going out for it.

Have a lovely day everyone

Oooh Payday Friday :D:D

Sounds like you really needed those cuppa's and a good old rest EB you're always busy, busy, busy and sometimes our bodies just tell us when we needs to rest.

Well done on paying off your debt and your bargain pressies. Not long to go at all now :T and almost payday, even better!

I hope your penultimate day in work went well. You're nearly at the end!!

Takeaway's rarely live up to the hype in my humble opinion. I wouldn't have fancied KFC in the last week's of pregnancy either.

Last day finally...roll on 5pm when I can walk out of the doors for 10 months. I am more than ready now ha...:o

I was asleep on the sofa immediately after dinner last night. Had a yummy salad, so much nicer than KFC! But I am exhausted.

Had to pop Morrisons last night, as realised it's my work colleagues birthday next week, so just grabbed a bunch of flowers to give to her today. Then did an online shop with Tesco's for the weekly shop. That's about all I could manage before I crashed.

I really hope my hormones don't get the better of me today, I'm really worried I'm going to cry lol. I put on waterproof mascara just in case....

Will catch up properly with everyone and everything tonight/tomorrow...hope everyone is doing well, and thanks for all the support you've given to me. It's very much appreciated! xx
