    Oh and in money news: I transfered ALL the money to the different accounts today from my wages for spends, petrol, various savers etc. It comes to more than my wages, however NIMs wages get paid in 5 days. We do have to pay £500 of regular saver before that, however we have £320 coming in from Ebay, and £800 from the Wedding saver towards the ring so that will more than cover that, then we can pay off the ring with the remainder + NIMs paycheck for the month. Lost yet? :D

    We also have about e600 from NIMs prize bonds coming back with us, which is good, as the OD is about £1000 into the red I think, so this will pay off half of that, then we need to blitz ebay this month to clear the rest of it so we can really really crack on with the savings again.

    I figure when we have little ones we won't want to take them hot places or on planes, so we'll see all of England we haven't already seen then.

    And Ireland for that matter woman :p

    Yeah I do not think anybody has been round for the half bottles that were left.

    Did the package arrive? It was addressed to both of you.

    I was in for the bottles Poolie so no worries. And yes it came, I thought it was a "Congratulations on your Engagement" card
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Did you get all the drink collected? I nearly thought about a card but since I had everything in the house for the CD though.

    Not quite sorted yet Dinah - You need shoes! I'd say about 5 different pairs or so...

    Sound's like you're pretty sorted with the OD though! I don't think it should take you too long to get the rest cleared off with your ebay sales though. You always managed to pull the money from somewhere before!

    Having a lazy morning before work today. In the middle of making a big pan of grape juice for my Grandparents, then I have todays flylady thingy to do.. Okay, my morning isn't as lazy as I planned. Boo!

    Just reading through Martins email and got all excited when I saw the type up of a letter from David Cameron. Gosh I'm easily pleased!

    Good to hear the place has been dried out as it where. I might nip in and grab anything that is not pinned down (including the light blubs)!

    I'd be so happy if automatic refunding of bank charges did come in, the old joint account which I paid off had over £700 worth of them. That said I am hoping to do the letter of complaint to the financial services ombudsman about that account this evening.

    Just had mine, its scary when its all already gone, but then I remember we still have NIMs paycheck to go yet and we've already paid all the bills.
