The freaking nanny support agency just sent me a freaking bill for $955! Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? I know my nanny has been doing extra hours lately but hello, could they not have sent me a bill in November when the account started accumulating?
On top of that I have the last month of preschool fees at $590, childcare for these three hooligans has been costing me $1300 a month! Thankfully the $590 is the last preschool bill and school fees are way, way lower (like $500 a year *phew*) but I am feeling very poor atm! And I just went out and spent $200 on maternity clothes this morning BEFORE I got the damn bill. Curses! By the time I pay all these freaking bills I will have made a SERIOUS (as in 2/3!) dent in my savings and I HATE having bugger all savings coz I worry about what will happen if something suddenly happens and I have no "rainy day" money. I guess I really should get around to doing the $700 Southern Cross claim from last year and selling the accumulated baby crap in the spare room on TM and getting back the $200 my dad owes me for a ticket he got in my car. Ugh! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Argh money. Such a pain...never enough of it. It just manages to disapper. I hate the fact that as soon as you do a budget and decide to stick to it, something unexpected and unavoidable comes up. There are always extras!!!

Don't worry I found out that WINZ hadn't been paying Andrew subsidy since November Daycare have been really good and are going to get the money from them and then work out how much I owe them (shouldn't be as much as your thou) ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Teehee, see in my case, the subsidy has lapsed coz I *didn't* do the forms. One rare occasion where WINZ are not in the wrong... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
