Saving for a new SMILE diary

xHayles84x

Nearly another month has gone by since i last posted, i must keep up with posting, it will keep me on the straight and narrow!

Not much been happening since i last posted, car insurance is due in a couple of days, so that's £510 to fork out, and then i need to start saving again. I have spent a bit on clothes lately, couple of maxi dresses for summer, and also some other summer outfits. We haven't planned a holiday yet due to house hunting, however i am kinda hoping we do go away, even if its just for a week to Greece or Turkey, or just a city break, i deffo need a holiday this year.

Also looking at cars, i'm toying between a black VW Beetle (new shape), Mini, or just a small Toyota Aygo. Always wanted a Mini or a Bettle so it would be fab to get one of them, especially as the bettle is big enough for kids in years to come. What do you think?

Another bank holiday this weekend, woohoo! Going to see SATC2 with the girls on Sunday, soooo excited!!!

Also signed up to the gym on Friday, it's quite pricey, £45 a month, but David Lloyds usually is. I do get all the classes, gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room etc, so it's worth it. I have been twice since Friday and also went to to a spinning class on Sunday morning. I am also on the Special K diet at the mo, 3 days in and cereal is getting boring, 11 days left though. I will probably keep it up if it works! :-)

ohhh well the mini has a very tiny boot, not great for if your thinking keeping it when you start a family. Saying that though my boot isnt that much bigger! Id have to say the beetle

The gym does sound worth it as you use everything they offer. Good luck with the diet although you really dont need to diet!!!

Not much happening to report on, so just not updated in a while, naughty me! I must start getting back into properly and into money saving. I am always on the look out for deals before buying though so that's one good thing.

The diet is going well, and I'm really lovin' the gym. I try to go 4 times a week and also do the classes, so definitely getting my moneys worth.

I am currently doing some short break research into a little holiday in July. We really liked Madrid last year so i was thinking Valencia. I have searched about and we can stay there for 6 nights in a lovely 5* hotel for £250 each. I plan to go via Quidco for the Hotel through Expedia and we will get £60 back. Valencia is very much like Madrid, lovely hot spanish city, with lovely beaches and we can also go see Valencia play whilst out there, perfect. Hopefully we will book it up this weekend.

Woke up at 8 am so got up and started my cleaning early, cleaned the flat top to bottom, didn't really need it as i clean everyday to keep it how i like it, but it's looking super super clean now so I'm happy. OH is stuck at work dealing with a big job which came in this morning so he's going to be very late off work. Then he'll want to sleep when he gets home so will probably head out and visit friends or my sis.

Just about to jump in the shower now and start to get ready for my Saturday.

6 nights for £250 each is a bargin espically for a 5 star hotel!

Good to hear your regualry going to the gym since you joined. Something i will need to do after baby and chirstmas wait next year!

Have a lovely weekend. x

Holiday is all booked. 1 week in lovely Valencia at the end of July! wooo. Just need to look if there are any footie matches on whilst we're there now, if not lots of relaxing on the beaches and sight seeing. We have decided to go for a short city break and not a big holiday to America as we are saving every penny possible for our first house together, we're growing too big for the apartment now. We have seen one house we like http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-29920970.html

Not much else to report right now, best get myself to beddy byes!

The holiday sounds fab! I am going to Valencia for a long weekend in October organised through work with loads of work people. You will have to let me know what it good to do there. That is such a bargain as well.

OH and I are joining the gym near our new flat next week, we both want to get fit so hopefully we will go as often as you are!

Thanks Wendz. That sounds cool, you have got to have the best job ever! I'll let you know what it's like, from all the reviews it sounds like a great place to visit. Really looking forward to it.

Well done on joining the gym, once you get into it you'll want to go everyday, it's great getting fit.

Right, need to get myself ready. So far managed to have my shower, watch 3 episodes of Eastenders which i missed during the week, Stacey had her baby, and Ryan is just sooo lovely! I've managed to get myself dressed, wearing my lovely new Maxi dress today, bought 3 a couple of weeks ago for Valencia, and as today is hot i thought i might get use out of them before the sun goes.
Just need to dry hair and finish getting ready, then OH and I are having a little drive down to the coast for a picnic. And then later watching the footy, the USA Ghana match.

Tomorrow we have a friends footy BBQ party to go too, which will be great. COME ON ENGLAND!!!
