    Aren't you going to take us on holiday with you?! :confused:

    :rotfl:
    That's the flipflops away for another year *sigh*

    I'm hoping my saving account will pass £500 tomorrow, should do with my extra wages this week. I really hope I'm not coming off as a brat to OH's family, I just want to be comfortable!

    Aww sorry, you can be my outbound illegall immegrant if you want?! Apparently the hotel has free net access and wifi.... I will NOT take my laptop, this is time to relax, but I might well pop on the net to say hi. Will not be so much moneysaving news as 'beach still hot, NIM was drooled on by camel' news.

    Yes please, I've always wanted to be an illegal immigrant!

    We'll keep the thread on the front page of DFW so you can find us when you pop on to make use jealous!

    I'm pretty confident that you'll manage to clear the majority of your debt by the time you go away, you're so good at making money especially when you've got a goal to focus on!

    Have just made a List (yes, capitalised) for the weekend of money making things we need to do. OH will be scared at first, but soon he will get on board when he sees how much scarier fighting it will be!

    And I think we're going over to join the gym on the way home, tis an awesome day. Cept I know OH left my house over an hour ago, and he's not at my work yet, which is about 40mins away. Am hoping he's lost/going slow and safe and hasnt crashed.

    The surprising thing is Dinah i actually think you would be able to clear the rest of your debt before you go if you really put your mind to it. Your like a genius when it comes to making money! Which is quite depressing really comparing how long it is taking me to clear my debt!

    Im sure NIM is fine, hes probably stuck in traffic or like you say lost! Have you tried ringing him - then again if hes driving he probably wont answer.

    3k in 6 weeks, thats £500 a week , don't think I have that much stuff left to ebay! Am expecting £180 off HSBC, and hoping on another £350ish from Barclaycard, but that won't be in the next 6 weeks I don't think. So I do think Ebay would be my only big money turner.

    Hoping its the latter ones too, Dinah! Did NIM get a good deal with the gym then?

    Managed to find a cottage for a week for £325, they seem pretty darn pricey though. Thinking I might aswell just trudge it out in the tents. hm. I really like OHs family and I'd love a week away with them, so I might have to compromise.
