    Hey dawn,

    Whoop whoop on the 3 day weekend and birthday! :)

    I was going to ask does your OH save any money yet towards your house deposit? Does he still want to buy a home together?

    Nope hes saved nothing.

    I am going to try and get him to open a savings account once he pays off his credit card but the way things are at the moment I don't want joint savings as not even sure we will be buying together as can't commit to it with him unless things change.

    I am just saving still for me really, still wanna get my own place i.e flat if things change.

    Hello!

    Yep only went for the day but was lovely although my arms and shoulders are so sunburnt I look like a lobster and have nasty strap lines too! Can feel the heat coming off me! :eek:

    Had a lovely time playing with my gorgeous nieces, lots of paddling in the pool with 2yr old Freya and lots of having my glasses pulled off my face and hair tugged by 9mth old Orla!

    OH was out when I came home, went to a work mates house which was good, been trying to encourage him to go out more to see if it helps with us, but well he came home wasted at 10pm so had a late night trying to make sure he was ok! :o

    I got my dooyoo cheque yesterday though so will pay that in tomorrow and transfer monies to ISA :) Will try and do some reviews this week but my mother arrives Weds for 5 days so might be tricky, if not will defo start again next week.

    Thanks Jen, its moving along, just might not be used for its initial intention now.

    Seeing my nieces yesterday though only made it clearer in my head what I want. :o
