    Oh, positives

    1. Have people coming tomorrow for 3 of the items I listed. I should make £35.00 if they all arrive. 
    2. I have been AF for 8 days 
    3. While I didn't have an NSD I didn't go crazy shopping like I could have. Today I spent a total of: £7.50... not great, but it could have been worse. 
    4. OH gave me some cash from from baby's birthday (from family) which I can put into his savings. 

    And on that note, im exhausted and going to sleep. I have a feeling baby will have me up and down like a yo yo tonight so need to get some shut eye while I can.

    Thank you! I’ve got a freebay group I’m a member on fb but you have to be super quick to get anything. I’ve also joined freecycle so hopefully can get some bits that way!

    Are you allowed to post "wanted" ads?  I sometimes prefer to respond to those because I know the person actually wants the stuff instead of just thinking they could take it and sell it etc.
