Saving for a new SMILE diary

Hi Hayles

I thought I would pop on and say hello and well done on getting to the gym so much, I lack motivation with these things and had to cancel mine

I just clicked the link to that house, it's gorgeous and then I twigged where it was.......you must live very close to me (I live just opposite Vinters Park1). Nice to 'meet' a local MSE'er

Unofrtunatly this one isn't free but it is discounted and should be a fun trip!

I just saw the house link, looks sooo nice. I love the kitchen.

Thanks guys, we LOVE the house too, it's perfect for us! Plus we'd happily live there for 10+ years whilst having children, so we'd rather buy somewhere just above our price limit than have to move again in a couple of years because the house is too small. We have quite a bit saved, and OH is earning a lot in overtime at the moment.

Hey JTR, thanks for stopping by my diary. We currently live next door to te hospital, the new estate there. We like it but growing too big for our place. I think i have seen your diary, i will have to head over and have a read

It's D-Day for England. Some of you probably know that i am really into my footie, so really can't wait for 3 pm woo hoo! We're heading to a BBQ party soon, so hopefully lots of sitting in the garden too getting a really lovely tan! Oh, and it's the F1 racing today, another sport i really enjoy watching, it's in Valencia so might try and watch some of that if i can.

No gym today, its far too hot. Will get back to it Monday - Thursday next week.

It is a good idea to get a bigger house. My friend lives in a one bed house and she has a little baby so now they need to find somewhere bigger which is proving difficult.

Have a great day in the sun! Come on England!

I know where you mean, used to live that side of town as my mum lives just off Tonbridge Road near the West station - small world sometimes!

We looked at a 3 bed house but decided it was too big for us so moved into our 2 bed flat, in hindsight that was a mistake as now we have stuff piled up everywhere :rotfl:.

Hope you have a lovely afternoon!

Where have the weeks gone?! ....it's the 9th July already! Yikes! Only 16 days before our holiday! wooo. We're busy every weekend from now until holiday, and I'm working from home for one week, so hopefully the weeks will go really quick.

OMG how hot is it? Down South it's boiling. They say it's going to be 19 degrees tonight, that's going to be sooo uncomfortable. Tonight when i got in, as OH is working late, i done ALL my cleaning so i wouldn't have to do it this weekend in the heat.

I've been bad this week - only managed the gym once. I think it's the heat. It's tiring me out so can't face the gym.

I got a new phone yesterday, HTC Wildfire, I really wanted the Desire but wasn't prepared to get a stupid long contract and pay more than what i do now, so i got the next best thing and the HTC Wildfire. I really like it. I was hoping to get the new Iphone, but again I'm not prepared to get a high contract when i don't use the phone that much.

Still looking at cars, toying between the beetle and Mini still.

Also - the house we really like has now been sold STC. I just hope we can find something very similar as that was our dream home. :-(

That is annoying about the house but I am sure another will come along that you love.

Hope you had a good weekend.

Time for a wee update me thinks. Well i have been on holiday and been back a week, we went to very hot and sunny Valencia for a week which was lovely. It was 35 degrees most days, which made it a lil hard to walk around the city without sweating like a pig, but it loved visiting where they hold the Grand Prix, and also the beach was lovely. My tans starting to fade a little bit now though, damn. Must start topping it up with either spray tans or the holiday tan lotion which gives you a nice healthy tan within 10 hours.

Since i have been back to work i have found out there is ANOTHER new restructure taking place which means my job could be at risk, or i could get a pay cut, which I'm really not liking the sound off. I am keeping my ears open and trying to find out as much as possible. Until then i am stopping any unnecessary spending, which means clothes, lunches at work etc. This also means we are waiting a couple of months to find out dream home, which has upset me because i really wanted to be in our new home by Christmas and maybe start a family next year, it's just putting it all back a little.

I'm also thinking to get back to my proper MSE ways, mystery shopping, comps etc, it was just hard to find the time with working late and going to the gym. I'm also thinking about stopping my gym membership and going running on the open roads for free, or just taking up kick boxing classes, which would be £5 a week, so £20 a month instead of £44.99 a month. Every little counts doesn't it.

If my job turns out to be safe then i;m definitely going to go treat myself to my Beetle Convertible in cream. I have the car money already saved up, so that's exciting!

OH and I are having a proper chillaxing weekend after a very busy weekend last weekend with getting back from holiday, baby showers, in laws over on the Sunday. We are both doing a big spring clean of the apartment, we have picked our rooms, i'm doing 4 rooms and he's doing 3. I'm just impressed that he's helping for once. All he;s good at is making mess, pants everywhere etc, so for him to actually help is amazing. I think we are going cinema tomorrow to see the Inception, we have two free Odeon tickets left so want to get them used.

I hope everybody else is doing good.
