    Yeah it is near Sharm somewhere. Yeah he is so sweet, just hope he can manage that along with all the flat costs that we are paying for. I can't wait to have a nice tan.

    Ohh will have to check Primark out.I don't go that often as the one on Oxford street stresses me out. There is a nice one in ealing though which is quite near.
  • I thought our local Primark was bad but then I then I went to the one on Oxford Street when in London once and it was chaos! I couldn't even get anywhere near to the clothes rails there were so many people!

    I popped in to our branch yesterday and there were some lovely bits and pieces in there.

    I have never been to Egypt but it sounds lovely.

    Ooh Wendz, Egypt - lucky you! I really fancy going but would want to see the pyramids and I think all the resorts like Sharm are miles away aren't they? Ooh it'll be lovely though and a good incentive for a diet like you say - are you going to be joining us over on Poddle's thread?

    Yay payday! Feels like I have been waiting for so long.Have had a good look at all the finances and worked out how we are going to pay for holiday/flat deposit etc between us. I am using some of my savings I have and then OH is going to pay me back next month and then we are going to use the savings and the deposit for the place we are in at the moment towards funiture. Is a bit complicated how it all works but think we have it sorted. OH does need to find out when we will need to pay the rest of the deposit and rent.

    As a little treat to myself for payday I have ordered the OC season 2 which I am excited about.

    Yep Tete, I am back over on Poddles thread and been good so far! Really excited about the holiday and starting looking at some holiday clothes.

    Not much new news. I got £10 from scratchies which has gone towards money for my Dad. Also got a £10 voucher for amazon from a survey site. We are putting the amazon vouchers towards a new tv for a lounge and we have £50 so far so not doing too bad.

    I have been good with my eating and did yoga this lunch time as well so quite proud of myself. Hope I manage to keep it up!
  • Well done on doing so well keeping up your healthy eating and yoga. I'd love to have a go at yoga sometime but fear I'd be really rubbish at it! :(

    You definitely deserved that OC boxset treat Wendz, you've been working really hard to keep your finances in check recently :)

    Hope you have a lovely easter whatever you have planned.

    Well the diet hasn't gone so well last couple of days... I blame easter. Havne't gone as mad as I do sometimes so not too bad.

    Hayley - I am pretty rubbish at Yoga but it is good and they don't force you to do more than you can. You just push yourself as much as you can and you are concentating so much that you don't notice what anyone ese is doing!

    I have had a nice couple of days. Thursday we had a short day at work and I was in the pub half the afternoon so very enjoyable. Then we came home to Southampton yesterday. Yesterday evening I went to my friends and watched New Moon. Today we went to m & s early and tried the matresses out and I found one I am going to order for new flat as they are on offer. Then later on I went to my friends to see little baby William and took OH too who had a cuddle, he fell asleep on him,so cute makes me really broody.

    I am chilling out with my Mum tonight which is nice. I have also been good this weekend apart from buying petrol so that is good.

    Hope you are all having great weekends.

    Well I am back in London now and have started to do some packing for when we move as my Mum gave me some boxes. Is a bit hard though as don't know if I will need a lot of stuff. Might just do a little bit at a time. Have managed to pack all the dvds and bits out of the lounge though and some of my bits in the bedroom. We did a sort out not too long ago so isn't too bad.

    Have had a nice day today so far. We went to Ikea and had a look around and chose some of the stuff we want for the new flat. We found some drawers and bedside tables we really liked so need to find a wardrobe that will match now. We really need to measure to check it will all fit first.

    After Ikea we went to Westfield and started to get some stuff for holiday. I managed to get a nice dress for only 12.99 in h and m and also a stripey cardy which will probably be more for now than holiday.

    In New Look I had a 20% off voucher and managed to get some plimsoles, some black flip flops (the same as my faves that are falling apart) and some strappy type flat sandals. I also got a £3 vest top.

    Am probably just going to spend the rest of the day relaxing before work tomorrow.
