As I sit here writing this entry, I'm surrounded by boxes. Yep, we're moving to my mum's this week. We're hoping to be there by Friday. I've managed to pack up most of my books and dvds so I'm hoping the rest won't take too long.
So, in my last few entries I've mentioned - a lot - that hubby definetly did not want to go. I couldn't persuade him, he was staying put till we found our own place. Well, what happened? Three pregnancy tests happened. I took one on Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday. And they all came back positive. In fact, according to the tests, I'm 3+ weeks which is about 5 weeks according to the leaflet that comes with it. You guys are the first people I've "told" apart from my mum and in-laws obviously.
Hubby told MIL we're moving out and that I'm pregnant. The first time she worried about was money - she's behind in her bills etc. Apparently - and this is the first time we've heard it - when we give her "digs" its for gas/electricity/food we've already used. Therefore, she said to hubby about wanted the money since we've used the stuff already. I don't want to leave on bad terms so I feel like I have to give her my usual money too. Hubby disagreed but I don't want her bitching about me, saying how I left things etc.
I told people at work we've moving. They were really pleased. A few people said "you should get champagne". Nobody at work knows I'm pregnant, I'm reluctant to tell them. We're going to the doctors on Friday so I'll know more then.
Oh, a few hours after we found out, me and hubby were talking and it's agreed: we need to start a baby fund now.
How quickly things change (long)

Sounds awfully fishy that your MIL suddenly claims you pay for things AFTER and not upfront--I'm guessing she's just trying to squeeze you for one more month of money. Still, in the interest of family harmony, it might be better to give her what she's asking for. You should be able to save faster once you're out of her house, right?

Yeah I think it's fishy too. Oh we will be able to save A LOT more and hubby will clear his debt to MIL within the next few months too.

Take care of yourself! Sounds like you'll be better off with your mom. Congratulations!

On another note, I think I know what the break money was for. Not your break ... your MILs. I'll bet it increased as time went by.

@NGG - Hubby asked me yesterday if I'd checked the new budget. He's added a "baby savings" category.
@TarWalker - That'd be great if you lived near me, or were in the same time zone at the very least
