Firstly congratulations on your new addition!


Sounds like you're off to a good start! Maybe a cupboard/fridge inventory would be a good step to stop you buying things you already have? I did a freezer one recently and found I had 34 sausages!!!

I will be interested to see how you manage on your no spending rule. I decided to try to do the same a few weeks ago as I am a terrible spendthrift. Since then I have bought a table and chairs for the kitchen, a table and chairs for the garden and ordered a pair of trousers and a cardigan for me on line. and that's not counting the winter clothes I bought my GGS. At my age I ought to know better ( I'm a GGma) and I really wanted to replenish my savings after I loaned most of it to my DD and DGS. Will I ever change my ways?

Welcome to the boards and good luck with becoming more frugal

I used olive oil to massage into my baby's skin. Looking at your SOA you have a big figure in for nursery costs already - why is that? Is that money you could use to pay off your paypal credit instead and get it gone?

Hi Mini

congratulations on the baby.

Well done on reaching nearly 3 weeks. that's great work.

i notice you did a SOA for when your DD starts nursery, yet there is only one income in the earnings field...did you bulk these together?

I'm with you on the tea hording- it drives my OH potty the number of different teas we have.

I also second the olive oil recommendation for dry skin, totally natural so no chemicals being absorbed into baby's skin.

Good luck.

You seem to be quite good at being frugal and have savings. I would ditch the lottery and do premium bonds instead.

Just as a side issue it is a good idea to give your body 2 years to recover after pregnancy even without a cancer scare. I had 18 months between mine and had an ovarian cyst on my second pregnancy which required one of my ovaries to be removed and was told I had not allowed my body to recover between pregnancies which led to the cyst. My niece had the same.
