The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread Part 2

Nichelette

I've been looking through my vegetarian student cookbook for cheap meal ideas. This site www.approvedfood.co.uk was mentioned on the live on £4000 thread, I've (well, I on behalf of my dad) have just spent £22 inc P&P. Food in tins & jars is fine well past its best before date anyway.

Ooh lilmiss, what did you buy?

moneymabel

Dawn what have you been up to?

I got my shopping in £2 over budget so not too bad but a lot of that was herbs and spices etc that will last weeks and weeks. It's always worse the first time isn;t it.

I love Jamie Oliver, I'm using some cook books OH got me for xmas, have to appear willing don;t I lol. Next week it'll be slow cooker recipes I think

2 Return flights to New York for OH's 30th :D:D:D:D

I am super excited and i can't even jump around.

At least it's something you'll enjoy

lilmissmup

Yep! I was hoping to go, either there or Sydney this year so Sydney will now be 2010 i think when we have saved up a lot more cash.

The travel board NY expert has helped me look at flights and they are the cheapest available £258.70 each

Thing is i can't tell him until 17th April which is his birthday, we fly out on 29th April and land 5th May

AAArrrggghhhhhh I'll scream in excitement for you. That's a cool present, hope you enjoy it. How will you be able to keep that to yourself till April?

I hate having to keep secrets I'm excited about secret for a long time. Sometimes even a day is a struggle. My plan for my boyfriends birthday is to buy him a new 32" TV with a home cinema system & a TV license lol. I want to hook his consoles up to it whilst he's at work and surprise him when he gets home .

moneymabel

cool! I'd never be able to do that I'm rubbish at keeping suprises secret!!

lilmissmup

Me too but i really want to keep it if i can.

I need to tell his Mum though and see if she can give him some Dollars to spend!
