    It is just really frustrating. In the end he found it..but it only appeared after I said I didn't believe that he'd lost it. He said he's really trying. I just don't see it. I'm trying not to discourage him...but I really don't see it.

    I don't know. I suppose at least he's given me his cash card etc. I just wish he would think of our family first. I always do. Anyway, we went and bought KFC for dinner after my version of masterchef went wrong... So now we're down to £20 instead of £30 for the holiday savings but never mind...better than it being 'lost.'!

    Put the rest of the thrift club money in today until the end of the month so that's up to £740 now thank god. I cannot wait till we go on this holiday. It will be the most we've ever saved for anything! We need to save £4k!!!! Blimey.

    Thanks L. I've sent him off to bed now cause he's on an early shift at work so hopefully that'll keep him out of the way for a bit at least! It doesn't help that i'm really starting to feel like this pregnancy is never going to end. Every day I wake up and hope it'll be today...and everyday it isn't! Baby seems ok tho so that's the main thing! And i've just checked net banking and we are both in credit at the bank- not by a huge amount...but it still counts! DH has got a £100 o/d on his account and I don't have one now. We are trying to stay out of his tho- just a buffer in case of (dire) emergency!

    HI Jak just read your posts. What a mare your having but keep going and good luck with the little one. I have jsut ahad a thought to cheer you up. When the little one comes or i think you might be able to get it now. Join all those baby clubs and get the free stuff. Boots give yo ua free camera, asda and tesco a free baby hamper!! Not sure about other places but i bet you could do with a few fab things for the baby.
