Thread continued for old faithfuls, new posters and anyone else that would like to contribute.

Financial talk, tips and discussion, with quite a lot of other stuff too.

We are a friendly bunch and there's lots of support for new and old.

laksa woah crazy motorhome!!! I'd never been in a motorhome/camper before Sunday. Friends bought one and we visited. Amazing!

They look super cool though and I love how things turn into other things!

I had one horrendous and one pretty good labour. Both pre term inductions. We're all packed ready to go to Auckland. Have only skim read I'm afraid.

Yeah.. 2 reasons why It will remain a just a lovely dream (though wont be allowing any adult DCs or DGCs near !.. We intend to us one to age disgracefully in , .

Gosh, that's beautiful, Laska.

Laska I am hoping this worm treatment works, the whole thing makes my skin crawl my plan is to do a treatment now, again in a couple of months time and again in September when any i have missed hatch out into Daddy long legs I will speak to my neighbour though as their lawn looks in a worse state than mine!!!

Sadly I haven bought it .. its just my dream one.. (hmm..wonder how much i'd get for DGCs, DCs, Dh, and the Dcat.?. ..)

I can see now why it's your dream!

It is lovely laska. Probably more for cute DC than a dh.

I'm after the Clark's ledalla trail sandals. They are stalking me round the internet now. I'm thinking tan is more versatile. Wdyt? Would wait for a voucher obviously.

life tan definetly. I think the black ones look too "heavy" if you see what I mean.

Could you buy via top cashback?

Great choice of shoe.

They are nice, my hip wouldn't cope with the heel but they'll go with everything. I am considering salt water sandals or merrels, I want something I can wear on the beach and for a paddle but not flip flops.

Gosh, Em, they are expensive but totally worth it. All the property on that site looks great?
And that camper van is certainly to dream for. I would love one but can't have everything.
£5 on going out for coffee with friends.

Mammy what a difficult thing to process - grief and elation in one pregnancy. It sounds like you are taking really positive steps - nothing like a good spring clean! I've just started propoints too - second night without chocolate tonight (my Easter egg is waiting in the fridge for a weekend treat!)

Small frugal steps today - another load of washing dried outside, used £4 left on my M&S voucher to buy lunch in the cafe, remembered to take water on a walk!

Spends - £34 on two full UV swimsuits (and hats!) for DD. £2.35 on a coffee.

Watching Sarah Beeny - would love to be mortgage free but maybe not by living on a boat!

Oxygen sandals are nice (I have the Malaga ones in red and blue) and cheaper .. also v comfy !

I need new sandals. I hate hate hate buying sandals as they never fit and always rub blisters unless I get really frumpy ones.

€21 + €2 on eyebrows & eyelashes, my eyebrows are too dark hopefully they'll fade.

Twin was lost in utero at 12 weeks so different to a 12 week old baby, to me anyhow. Thanks though,

Seacow your poor ds, he's really going through the mill.

Butternut Squash Risotto for dinner le yum i added a little chorizo for a meaty flavour.

Never mind Hush, you don't need to show me shoes websites Laska Love the motor homes, although I will now get ads for them following over the internet...

Seacow Good luck with your DS tomorrow. Not a nice experience for any of you. Glad your sister is going.

Thanks guys, yep it is where he was kicked. The vet stitched him, which I did wonder about, I would prefer the wound open to heal from within and be bathed, lets the infection out but hey ho.

Life Tan, for sure, less harsh, more versatile.

DH did a session with the PT, so that's £15.

I ran with the club tonight and did a few extra with friends before.

Sorry, I missed that about the pony, Need. I hope the vet's keeping a close eye and he starts healing soon.

Thanks Creme, no worries, it's hard to keep up and remember to mention everyone's woes/news.

Well you know I am very fond of DPony.

Someone has to be.

I saw a pair of wedges today in dune. Want. Nude with a sort of silvery fleck to them. Sling backs. £60. Want.

Wait till two paydays have passed. They may have reduced by then...

@ Need.

Oh, another spend to report- £4.20 window cleaner. They usually come Thursday or Friday, so not sure why they came today.

Does anyone else wear fly london shoes/sandals? They are insanely comfy, I wear these, yuna wedges all spring/summer (I have 3 pairs). Before I lived in Tevas, but even I needed something more grown up! And I have hobbit feet and shoe stretchers

Have done nothing but knit and fill bin bags (plural ) in my bedroom tonight.

That motorhome looks fab Laska. Luckily my incompetence at parking large vehicles stops me being jealous . We did 3 weeks in a motorhome about that size in NZ a few years ago and it was brilliant. I didn't mind driving there because the roads weren't busy but I'd be too scared in the uk (probably not entirely rational!)

Life I think tan too. Goes with everything.

I have some fly London shoes Lonely , never thought of looking at sandals. I feel you are all encouraging me to look at footwear now! If I buy anything g before the baby it has to be slip-on. Doing up shoes is becoming challenging.

Cag is it a home ed trip tomorrow? Hope it is worth the outlay.

I am glad my sister is coming to the hospital with us tomorrow. If I were not pregnant I'd feel confident I could restrain DS on my own but at present I have very little lap left to sit on!
