Wendys Spend Less, Make More Diary

Don't worry about treating yourself every now and again, you're so close to being debt free! I can't believe I've been on here trying to get out of debt for two years, I don't know where the time has gone!

Saw from FB that you are off on your hols soon, how exciting! Have a blinding time and remember to take some Diarrhoea and sickness tablets. That's prob not what you want to hear before you go, but 3 outta 4 of us that went 2 years ago we're poorly, it's really a common thing in Egypt.

Other than that Egypt is amazing and really really hot!!! You will have a fabulous holiday.

I'll second that. I was REALLY ill the whole time I was there, so was NIM, we got through 5 packs of immodium..... and I had to have hospital treatment when I got back. No ice in your drinks, no uncooked fruit or veg is recomended to avoid unboiled water.

Hi all!

I am back! We had a really great time. The weather was hot but we spent most the time in the pool/sea so wasn't too bad. We managed to stick within the money we took and still did about 6 excursions and had a few meals out so that was good!

We did camel riding, horse riding, sand buggies, snorkelling boat trip, st Catherines Monestary and to see the 1001 nights show. Also lots of relaxing inbetween.

I managed to have no serious stomach problems but I did get a cold when I first got there (I blame the air con) and spent a day in bed. OH had a bit of a bad day towards the end but he got better. We stayed away from all the salad,water etc so think that helped.

Anyway am back now and unfortunately need to spend the weekend revising as I have a work exam Monday. At least I have had my fair share of the sun so don't mind missing out on the nice weather!

I am going to have a look at my money later as not quite sure where I am at the moment. I get paid Tues so that will be another payment to my Dad. After I have finished paying off the car to my Dad then I need to save up some to pay for the sofas, although we are still waiting for them. They said they would probably come this week so I gave them my sisters number so she could be there for them but haven't heard anything.

Anyway hope you are all well and enjoy the weekend!

Welcome back! Glad you had a really good time and managed not to pick up any illnesses. The sand buggies sound cool, wished we'd looked at doing that when we were out there. Camel riding looked cool too. I bet you're sooooo brown?

Good luck for the exam on Monday. Tomorrow is meant to be REALLY hot so maybe do the revising today then tomorrow you can enjoy the sun and watch the footy.

Enjoy your first weekend back!

The sand buggies were cool, I was scared to have a go at driving to start but loved it when I did. They had quad biking and stuff but the company we went with stopped doing it for safety reasons.

I have got a nice tan at the moment but my skin is pealing a bit yuck so am moisturising every two mins.

I managed to have a look at the money situation and isn't as bad as I thought which is good. I have gone into next months pay by about a tenner but only two days till payday and considering we were on holiday etc that isn't bad. Looking forward to having a normal month money wise now we have all the bills etc sorted.

I got a phone call yesterday and we get our sofas Tuesday yay. I have been having to spend all my time in the bedroom as nothing to sit on in the lounge. Very exiting!

I am doing revision today and then going to watch England this afternoon, is going to be tense!

Thats a shame they stopped the quad biking. But still if it was for saftey reasons then not so bad as there pretty dangerous machines aint they.

Oi no rubbing it in that you have a nice tan :P haha, only joking. Im milk bottle white with freckles as normal. I dont fancy being out in the sun this summer because of bump.

I hope your sofa turns up on time on tuesday, bet you cant wait. how long have you been waiting for it now?

Wasnt the football awful!! I got so excited by half time thinking they can do it then bam they came out playing like monkeys. Espically Rooney dont know what his problem is he just couldnt be bothered.

Hi everyone,

Well I have had a nice but quite busy week.

It was payday yay so have some money and have made my payment to my Dad so only two more to go woop!

Money shouldn't be too bad this month so am treating myself to a haircut since I haven't had one in ages so doing that tomorrow. I am also planning to get myself a nice new bag as mine is starting to look tatty. I haven't chose one yet but might go and look tomorrow.

Our sofa's came on tuesday yay and I love them. I am lying on one now watching Big Brother on the laptop. Very comfy.

Sunday I am going to t4 on the beach , being taken by some work people so we get to go to the VIP section, very exciting. Might see some celebrities!

Hope you all have a great weekend.
