We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[UniqueBeauty]

I won't be binning anything, they're all lovely

I'll be having the flu vaccine but I don't know about the w.c, I didn't have it with Jayden and there's been so many mixed opinions on it. I only have 4 more weeks to decide though.

Jaydens room is magnolia but that will be our bedroom for when the baby comes because there's more room for a cot. Ours is cream (will be Jaydens again) so I'll just get wall stickers until we can move


And great bumps ladies! x

Nice bump mummy!

Its crap not being able to decorate how we want eh? I loved doing Zoe's nursery, then when Zara was born we swapped rooms and made the big room all girly for them to share. I wish I could've brought my house with me when I moved lol xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I honestly wished I had waiting to move into this place. We wanted to get out of temporary accommodation (which was nicer than here, sods law ) so we took this place. We really should of waited and viewed all properties I guess but then if we didn't take it we wouldn't of looked that desperate to move. OH said he's not living down here any more but I don't know whether to take him seriously or not, you can never tell.

I am going to get ready and paint little mans soon while I can x

 

[ab75]

Yeah your kinda stuck coz if you look like you are being choosy they just think you can't be that much in need of a place to stay. I don't hold out much hope for us getting a council house. Dh found a lovely new build last night for private rent, sods law that we have just signed up here for another 6 months!! Ah well, lol xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Oh I'm going to have a serious think about the w.c vaccine now and do a little research.

Where we lived before we wasn't allowed to decorate but I still did, and just put it back before we moved, where we are now we just never asked if we could decorate and I just did it anyway. I like to have my own touch I know the landlord doesn't allow animas but I have two cats, let's just hope he doesn't ever want to pay a visit

 

[ab75]

Lol, you'll just have to hide the cats in a cupboard!
We get a house inspection every 3 months, I hate it. Last time we were out and they just come in with their key(letting agent) and do the inspection. I know technically it isn't our house but at this moment it is our home, really pisses me off xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Wow they can't do that ab! They have to give you notice, when I lived alone I had an awful land lady she was such a cow, left me with damp in the house, broken boiler plus a number of other problems so I decorated the house and left it like that for her to put back. I hate landlords that have no respect for their tenants especially when rent is expensive!

I've just called up the school about Madeleine been due to start in January, I told them I felt she wasn't ready for school in January as it's totally different where we come from and she said that if I feel she's not quite ready then they do three intakes, January, April and September so I'm really pleased about that I'm not going to start her in January now, maybe April time at least that way she has a few months been four before starting school xx

 

[ab75]

They do give us notice, but I still dont think its right. We oay a grand a month for this place, makes me feel sick knowing that we have now paid 12 grand for something that is not ours!
Its a year today since we moved!!
We have only met our landlord once, all done thru agency. Our rent now goes up £50 a month since we renewed the lease! Xx

 

[ab75]

Thats really good that they do 3 intakes. At least you don't have to worry about that now xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

A grand?! Oh my goodness ab that is a lot of money to pay in rent, it might be different where you live but that's an awful lot to me we pay £575 a month for our 3 bed house, I can't believe they put the rent up too. Cheeky buggers!! Xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

That's good news Mummy. That's a crazy amount of money on rent Ab, good luck with getting a council property!

I picked Jayden up from nursery and when we got out he cried that he wanted to go back he's okay now he's having pombear and a chocolate spread sandwich hehe.

I managed to paint all his walls but there's still another 1-2 coats that need doing and a bath! perfecto lol x

 

[Mummy to be x]

How cute that Jayden wanted to go back to nursery, bless him!

I'm picking Madeleine up at 1pm then I need to go get her some new shoes. X

 

[ab75]

Yip its a fortune. My mortgage was only £300 b4 we moved here! But dh earns more money here, would rather be saving it towards a deposit tho!!
Aaaww thats cute that J wanted to go back in. Just getting ready to take Zoe up to nursery and leave her. She'll be ok I think, hope I am lol xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Hope Zoe goes into nursery ok ab, she will love it once you've gone (as awful as that sounds lol) xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Hope she went in okay

I'm in a little dilemma. Getting the pram on the 28th but have to start putting 85 aside a week for rent as from 7/09. OH gets 300 a week BUT gives his brother 200 of that to pay off the BMW. How am I going to pay rent, get shopping AND pay bills with 162 pounds? The pram is 180!! Tomorrow all my child tax credits is getting taken on bills/debts which I hate because that should be Jaydens money. I'm waiting on a '1 off payment' from working tax credits but no idea when it will be. Ahhhh! There should be a total of 620 going out a month but there's actually over 1200 :/ x

 

[ab75]

Could he not give his brother less and take longer to pay off the car? Its shite eh? I paid most of my debt off with the money I got from the sale of my house. But had to remortgage when an ex and me split up, to pay off debt he left me with. If I hadn't have had to do that I would've had about 40k in the bank, instead I have f#@* all. Same with dh, he had to go bankrupt due to his ex. Life is shit sometimes.

Zoe was fine at nursery, said bye to me straight away, totally loved it xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

U have great bumps ladies!
UB if your oh is away that much could you not just claim as a single parent? It would mean you wouldn't be struggling as much!
Ab that is a crazy amount of rent! Round here you would get a gorgeous 5 bed for less! I pay £500 every 4 weeks for mine n its a generous sized 2 bed. I want to move but at the moment I can't save up a bond for another house iv seen a gorgeous house which I could afford the rent but I just can't save the £800 bond they want plus the months rent in advance :'(

 

[ab75]

If we don't get a council house we will move further out, even moving 10 miles would get us more for our money xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

UB I agree with Carly can't you claim as a single parent? Seen as though Oh works away all week, your really going to struggle otherwise.

Glad nursery went well ab

 

[ab75]

I agree too, you technically are a single parent!

Thanks mummy xx
