End of the month

September 29th, 2011 at 09:24 pm

I hope October is better financially for me than this month has been. We seem to be spending a lot just now, whether it's actually cash or my dreaded credit card. However, I did manage to achieve my goals, although I know £20 in the baby fund is a small start compared to what we will actually need. The money will be used after Christmas when we start baby shopping.

Next month my goals are:
[] don't use credit card
[] complete car fund
[] tell friends about baby

I've been a really bad friend recently - I've been avoiding getting in touch with my friends. I know why: I'm not ready to tell them yet. I hardly ever see my friends so I don't feel like we're close, but I will tell them.

In other news, I seen the midwife today. I was a bit worried because I've hardly put on any weight. She said that everything's fine and I've nothing to worry about. I thought she would have weighed me to compare with my last appointment, but she didn't. She did let us listen to baby's heartbeat again though.

    Are you going to do any tricks to keep you from buying something on your credit card? Like leaving it at home or freezing it in water so it takes forever to thaw? I always was amused about freezer idea, but I suppose it works really well especially for online shopping temptations (where I usually get hit).

    I'll leave my credit cards at home.

    There is a lot of spending that can go on in the time that leads up to a new baby, but one thing is for sure... as soon as your friends and family know about it there will probably be many who want to offer you some insurance that you are ready! That has been the case with us, and I hope you have a similar experience.
