Dark I don't really understand the situation and what's gone on? What has she done? Sent these messages to you? Or to someone else?
 
My husband only earns about £20000 a year and I only work two days a week earning no more than £5000 a year so we get up to 70% of our childcare costs paid for by the government. Very handy really. But considering that jack does one day a week and Oscar does two breakfasts and one after school a week it still costs nearly £250 a month! I'm very thankful for tax credits!

Sorry I dont even think I understand the situation basically. I woke up this morning to a ton of abusive messages from her. Accusing me of never being there for her, saying that I am covering up for my best friend and that I have pushed her out.

I havent. She claims that my best friend tried to sleep with her and manipulate her but I know Tim and he wouldnt do it. She came to house and told me this about 8 months ago at the same time she got a new partner who he has one by one made her stop talking to all of her friends. It seems I have been the next one.

She then went on about my pregnancy and how I have kicked her out of the pregnancy which again I havent.

I am just tired of the whole friendship. I am so worn out with her.
 
Dark I think you need to cut her out completely. Life is too short and precious for toxic people.
 
I finally have. I blew gasket this morning because she hasnt been there for me at all. I dont feel sad I just feel relieved. 8 years of stress has been lifted from my shoulders.
 
I know smiley, 4 days, I can't believe it!!! I can't believe I'm gonna know if I'm having another son or a daughter in 4 days!!! I can't imagine them telling me boy!!! It's weird. I won't be sad if they do because I get to use the name I just adore but a girl would be amazing too x

Christina, that's mental, we r so lucky here in the uk!! I'm not gonna be any worse off at all this time round on maternity. I don't use any child care as only work Tuesday when both boys r in school all day then Friday and Saturday nights when OH is usually off and if he isn't I have a babysitter or 2 I can use.

So today..... I've booked a holiday!!!! I've been soo desperate for a holiday. A proper one, with an aeroplane, a pool, beach etc mentioned to OH last week in the mist of things how much it was getting me down and he said we could book one so its been booked!! We go a year yesterday so 364 days lol I'm a little nervous booking a holiday to include baby when it's not even here yet but I need to think positively that everything will be fine and s/he'll be coming with us!!! I haven't been on a plane in over 7 years. We were VERY lucky that my grandad took us all on a cruise 2 years ago but that's still a long time for a sun worshiper like me lol esp when my sister is away every year plus friends etc
 
Oooh a vacation! I need one of those. Haha!!

Yeah right now my main stress is the $ issue. I know we can make it work but it will be tight.
When baby comes we will have
$1200 in daycare per month
$900 in health insurance
$850 is our mortgage
Then we have all of our other bills for the house. Plus student loans and I pay $550 per month in student loans and that is not including my husbands loans!

Then diapers. Wipes. I'm hoping to not have to buy formula but I was only able to bf dd for 6mo. So I'll add in formula just in case.

We will transition dd who will be 18mo to a toddler bed when baby comes so we need her bedroom set. We have to get rid of the furniture in the guest room and then get a fouton or sleeper couch for downstairs because we always have someone staying here it seems.

My mind is just spinning. It's like. Hello check. Goodbye check. =[
