    Turns out I was worrying for no reason :T the card is paid off in full and didn't need to be till the 20th! I'm glad I worried thou, last time I messed up it cost me £15 :eek: and I'm determined not to make the same mistake again.

    Dear OH peeled and chopped all the onions in the house last night for onion soup - its nice to know all I have to do is make it up. Normally I wear my swimming googles to cut up lots of onions! :rotfl:

    Main aim for today to to do as much as the scrapbook as possible and tidy up the house ready for a big clean before we go. Wish me luck!

    P.S. Have decided to change my spending money today as there seems to be no hope for the pound :cool:

    We had red onion and goats cheese tart, swimming googles would have been very useful!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Keep a few greenbacks upon return then in a few months they could be worth more £....

    Long-term predictions are pointing to £1 to US$1.60
    but I'm not taking any bets ;)

    I didn't think of that, thanks Stu :beer:


    I'm a very lucky girl as my family have found dollars hiding in drawers and donated them to my spending fund :j I've offered to give them the equivalent in £'s back but all they want is for me to bring back a nice Xmas ornament :rolleyes: I hope I find a nice one.


    I will see you all in just over a week :wave:

    Well I'm back all safe and sound!

    NY was good fun and the weather was great. I didn't end up spending too much either :D

    The windows are going to have to go on hold - cause I'm getting married :T

    Does anybody know how much these things cost?:p :o:p

    I'm off to do some researching....

    they say the average wedding was approx £17,000 - I got married 3yrs ago and had a reasonable biggish wedding and we spent about £10,500 but you can do it on a smaller budget. There are easy ways to reduce your spend such as making your own favours etc, someone to do your flowers etc. Congratulations.
