My OH has been ill too. Men are definitely the worst at being I'll aren't they haha. I have had a very relaxing weekend. And had some great news. The OH has paid off a loan, so that's an extra 400 quid a month we can save. So exciting!

That's awesome news!!! I can't wait to pay off things! We don't have credit card debt, just medical bills and student loans.
 
Oh Lee, jealous! Wish we could be saving that much extra!

I had an interesting weekend. Attended another birth then as soon as I left AF struck and I've been in bed dying since then. :(
 
So my hubby is leaving for Pittsburgh the end of this week for 7 weeks :( he's going for his externship. His first out of three for school. I'm going to miss him so much!!! I didn't think I'd miss him as much as I'm anticipating I will. I'm just hoping those 7 weeks go by really quick!!!
I'm also worried I'm not going to be able to bring in enough money to pay our bills while he's gone. I know I'm stretching myself thin while he's gone by working as much as I'm signed up to work, school and trying to run a household. I'm sure looking forward to graduation so I can just focus on working and my family!!!!
 
Sorry to hear that, Junemomma. It must be really hard. I know I'd be lost without my DF here. :nope: I hope it goes by nice and quickly! I suppose these next 7 weeks are going to show you how much of a strong woman you are. Oh and it'll prove your multitasking skills. ;)

Lol thank you Angie!! Yes I suppose it will..though sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to hold everything together or not :dohh: the hardest part I think, will be sleeping by myself in a big bed. I'm so use to having him next to me. It's going to be so weird not to have him there. Though it will be nice not having to kick him every two seconds because he's snoring :haha:
 
When my hubby is away, I always put his sweater or his bathrobe next to me in bed. That way I have his smell with me and the bed doesn't seem so big. Sometimes I also arrange some pillows on his side of the bed.
I hope you have some support from friends and family over the next week and I hope time will go fast.

I do that too, glad i'm not the only one!!

Also, back to the thing I said about being able to save £400 a month... The OH said he wants to use that to pay off other stuff too. Which is fair enough, but with me giving up the evening job, and him using his spare cash for other debt, we'll be doing no saving now, from what he said. So i've got no idea how long it's gonna be before we can start saving properly. The WTT time seems to be even longer now.... :nope:
 
Hello all :)
Just here to say that i will be leaving the thread as i now have an new ttc date of an earlier date of 21st may 2013! :happydance:
Ive had a little chat with my husband and if we lose the weight in that time then that's when we will be starting instead. 21st may be a brilliant date as this will be our 10th anniversary of being together :)
I wish all of you good luck and lots of baby :dust: for the future :)
 
Junemomma, that would be so hard to be without DH for 7 weeks! I'm sure you will do fine and hopefully the time will pass quickly!:hugs:
LeeBee- sounds like you guys will be paying off debt a lot quicker than you planned! Thats awesome. The more debt you pay off, the less bills you have,and the quicker you can start saving!:flower:

jessicasmum- That is great news! Good luck with everything!!:thumbup:

Yeah we will, but it just seems like such a long time, and like we'll be paying it forever. I know this sounds selfish, but it's not even my debt to pay. But i'm helping so we can get it paid off quicker so I can get properly saving for a house and baby lol. But now i've given up my evening job, I won't have any spare cash which is so annoying and frustrating. I need a way of making money whilst at home when I finish my day time job lol.
 
When you figure out how to make more money from home, please let me know lol! I need that too!:winkwink:
 
Lol, oh don't worry I will! I just feel at a bit of a loss at the moment. There is nothing I can do that I can think of that will aid with the saving. It's all down to OH atm, and his spare cash is going on to debt. Stupid money.
 
Money sucks doesn't it??

Things have been really tight for us lately. I resigned from my old job because it wouldn't have been worth my while to put F in daycare, also my job required a bit of travelling and also unpredictable finishing times some days. I think I might have said this somewhere before, but long ago, before baby, I had decided that I wanted to do Family Day Care (at home care for kids). That way I can make money and be at home with my own kids. They will also get to socialise with other kids too. I'm just putting together my application for it at the moment and hoping to start at the end of January. We still need to get a fence for our new home (long story) but hopefully that will be sorted with the neighbours soon.

I hope everyone is well??? xo
 
I was actually thinking about doing a family daycare in my home as well, but decided not to. Hubby and I are very good at not spending money on things we don't need. I go grocery shopping once a week and I never bring hubby along (so he doesn't have the need to buy unneeded grocery items). I make a list, and stick to it.

We don't have to much debt going on. Just hubby's military thing and his schooling.

:haha: That's so true: grocery shopping with a man is like shopping with a little kid: they always want to bring stuff you really don't need. And lots of unhealthy snacks too might I add.
 
Hi ladies!!! I hear ya on the money thing. There is just never enough and when you think you'll get ahead, something happens that you have to spend what you thought you were going to save Lol
 
Ok ladies, remember when I was really upset because DH wanted to wait till september to ttc? We made that decision AFTER my fertile window this cycle. Up till that point we haven't been strict about not DTD during my fertile window. This past cycle we DTD one time during my fertile window on the first day. I ovulated 4 days later. I had a shorter build up than usual. Well...I'm now 4 days late! I took a HPT 2 days ago and it came back BFN. Though my cycles are kind of weird. My LH phase is at most only 10 days. EVER!! So I'm sitting on 14 DPO today. I'm planning on testing tomorrow. I guess God may have had a different plan than we decided.
 
Holy Moly! That's so exciting, fingers crossed for you! XX
