So I’ve just had a moment..... when do I get my MAT B1? Should I have asked for this at my last midwife appt or can I get this when I have my next scan? I’m so confused with all this stuff to try and remember.

Good morning Ladies!!
20 weeks scan today at 14:40
Must remember to drink something fizzy before! Little lady was super lazy during 12( well, more like 14!) week scan so hopefully she behaves today 
We are taking DD with us. She will probably be bored after 5 min tho... Oh well, hubby will take her for a walk then. She may as well visit the place that delivered her here x
I will be sending out the form for my baby box today after scan eeeek x
Last nigh hubby and I watched an episode of One Born (older one) and I watched one on Friday. It is nice to see all the little babies being delivered etc. I watched very closely all the c-section deliveries and they made me cringe! x

Congrats on blue team!
Jem, with dd i bought cans of coke, kept them in the fridge so it was super cold and had it half an hour before scan. Your bladder doesnt need to be full either now cos baby is much bigger!

yay another boy. lovely
Good luck today KHTW!
I'm shattered this morning, I had a bit of a cry yesterday worrying about money and feeling down about how little we're seeing of oh atm due to him working such long days, by 830 I was shattered so went to bed but my heartburn was bad so woke loads. mum has DD today though as Monday was her day when I was working and she's asked to keep it up so hopefully I'll get some house work done and I'll attempt a nap although since DD was born I've napped maybe 3 Times during the day, they say to nap when you can when you've got a newborn but I never could

I hope you managed to cry your worries and sadness away and are feeling better? It is hard not to worry about money but then again, worrying will do nothing for you. Lets all buy a lottery ticket this weekend xxIt's really nice of your mum to take DD, gives you a little break. Maybe go easy on housework and get some rest x

Ladies talking about money, have you tried topcashback? Weve had 40 quid back only been using for over a week. Anything we order online we just do it through that now.
Also Martin Lewis is on, on a tuesday which has saved us some money.
With this surprise baby we thought oh shit cossa money but were ok now, and even booked a holiday to skegness (cheapest) lol.

My husband has become a little bit obsessed with money saving and martin lewis, so many spread sheets aha. But were saving for a house so its good.
If you have time you can do surveys and get money for them.

Also the kidstart accounts are good.
Shep hope you're feeling better hun. I had a wobble at the weekend about money too now I'm not working. I think we'll be fine but it's really been getting me down how much money we're losing out on right now. And it's stressing me I can't go back to work for so long even if I had too. I guess it's useless worrying. I couldn't ever nap with dd either, I'd clean
Sounds like you need give yourself a break while dd has fun at your mums though. Hugs

I used it the other day as it said 100% cash back from mothercare on £15 spent - I used it and only got like 6p back so no idea what's happening there!

Shep hope you feel better today, I always let things like money get me down!
Doesn't help that I have a brother and sister who get everything handed to them on a plate and I work extra hard just to get crappy second hand stuff! x

thanks for the nice words ladies, I'm feeling better this morning I just need to accept this is how it is for now. I will definitely look into top cash back I've heard a few people say they've earned a bit from it. once my money comes in this month I'm planning on getting £100 out and attempting to make it my spends for the month and write down all the extra things I want to buy but can't and see where it's going, although I can already guess its on DD. anyway, enough of that cleaning to do
happy Monday ladies

Have you thought about meal plan and preping?
Go supermarket on a sunday, or an evening get food really cheap cook it up into meals and freeze it.
Even if its not cheaper food can still meal plan so you know what tp buy weekly and wont waste food. Meal prep also helps save, cook the weeks meals up in a day and freeze, helps keep to portion size aswell.
