    Fabby news! I'm delighted for you.

    I'd love to be a good example - instead, I am a horrible warning.

    Loan 1 is next if I can get a couple of payments off, its due to finish in September anyway but it costs €291 a month which is quite a lot so if I can get rid of that then I can concentrate on the Loan 2 which is bigger and I'd like to get that down quite a bit, not due to be gone until 2014 but hey miracles can happen on here so I will get chipping away and get there sooner hopefully. We will all be DF one day soon folks.:beer:

    Had a lovely weekend. DD did her singing thing in the local pub on Friday it was a comp but she ended up being last on and also in a rush as she had been on an irish promoting thingy somewhere else earlier so it was all a bit rushed, anyway she didnt get through this time but didnt really expect to. We had a good night even so. On saturday we had bbq with some friends and had them up last night for pizza and drinks it was lovely, they are emigrating to Aus later in the year so no doubt there will be more nights like that to come.
    I have been busy getting the old turf shed more stable like for Neds arrival which will be in the next couple of weeks, still some fencing to do and a mains fencer to purchase. Meanwhile DH has decided its time to pull down the porch and get the front all replastered, the man who's helping him has announced he's off to see his daughter in Aus at the end of may :eek: Nothing like deadlines is there!! Oh well the sun is shining and Im eagerly awaiting barclaycard statement, never thought Id be waiting for it happily :T

    Yes thanks, Turfy, I had a fantastic time at the wedding - I purposely took a long time preparing for it, and it paid off in spades.
