    I'm sure you'll be able to move some money over Tete. Good idea about leaving it until you get back from Bath though, don't want to be skinting yourself and not be able to buy lots of pretty things! How long is it you go for?

    All exicted as its only 39 days till I go on holiday!!! :D Keep on looking at the website and sighing. So so so excited. Booked the week off work yesterday, think I still have a couple holiday-days left after it too.

    On another note - I'm so hungry!! Going to go have a coffee to perk me up until Dinner time.

    I'm sure we got that measurement wrong though ... Nah your not harsh, it makes it easier to obey the diet if I think I'm going to get told off!

    Project 365 is a thing where you take and upload a photo every day of the year I think it would be quite interesting to document a year of your life like that, and nice to look back on.

    ETA - I'm at my friend's in London for one night, then Bath for 3 nights. We're staying here! So excited!

    Hey Cinny,

    Just caught up with your diary! I posted on page 1 and now there is 22 pages, wow! Well done on clearing the credit card, I should take my own advise and use my savings too, but sadly the debt still won't be cleared.

    As for hair-colour, mines is naturally brown, I have highlights just now but want to go for a chocolatey/red colour. I almost bought a home-dye but luckily checked with my hairdresser who informed me I'd have ended up with pink hair!

    Good luck with the savings plan x

    Oooh that does sound lovely. I don't have time for any more nice ideas though, maybe the year after?! I'm still planning to try to make a scrapbook of general life, weekends away, special moments, and record some of the early relationship. That might be my project for the two weeks I'm off over Christmas.

    To Do List:
    40 STP Tracks
    [STRIKE] Move 1 review over to Ciao & Rate
    1 Review on Beautyjudge
    [/STRIKE]

    Still got the rating to do on Ciao but I'm half way there! Just requested a sample of todays free product too. As it's another thing I could do with! :o Skipping the next couple days as it's lipgloss, hand lotion + intensive hair masks which I don't really need / wont be able to review properly. They're doing a Nads tester after that though and I'm a bit tempted to go for it!

    Love the look of the place you're staying at Tete!! Have fun :D

    Swinstie - Not so good on the pink hair front! Lucky you checked with your hairdresser first. I love the chesnut reds you can get atm. If I wasn't a redhead I think that's the colour I'd go for!

    Just had my dinner - Yum!! Nicely stuffed now, been feeling all hungry and faint this morning. My Pa has just gone to the village to get his dinner so I've cheekily asked for an iced finger :D

    Depends, books are usually in about 5-7 days, random things, elextricals, destinations and hotels can be up to a month! I write the review in word then copy and paste it later.




    Ahh that will be why its taking so long. Its a hotel, hopefully will be up soon. Have already written the review so is ready to be put straight on.

    Got a call from OH to say he's been called in to work on Saturday, which means the only day I was going to properly see him this weekend has been scrapped. But still, I think he finished at about 4ish Saturday so there's nothing to stop us catching a few late movies afterwards. Plus he'll get time and a half for it, and my spends budget can be cut down to about £20. So I shouldn't really complain! But it's hard not to!

    Your thread isn't harsh and mean Dinah! I agree with Tete, you think more about what you eat when you know you've gotta go announce your weight loss/gain to you and your thread!

    I started doing a scrapbook of my relationship and it's really nice looking back over it. It's got pictures in and Valentine's cards and little notes etc in. Wish I had carried on doing it! I think I will, there'll just be a gap of like 3 years. :rolleyes:

    Tete the place you're staying in looks really nice! Hopefully the weather will stay nice for you.

    I'd be complaining too Cinny, even though it makes money sense. I hate it when I had planned to see OH then I can't.

    Almost home time! A bit upset as tomorrow is my last day full time and I've seriously enjoyed it, even with the lack of sleep! :o

    Going to push my Dad for getting home quite quickly, then I can have a quick shower before tea which will leave the rest of the night for STP-ing. Want to do 60 tracks tonight, which should only take an hour an a half if I really focus.

    Going to grab my notepad and try and get a couple weeks budgets in order. My spreadsheets were on my sisters old laptop, and my laptop doesn't have excel on it so pen and paper will have to do! (plus I can use glitter pens to make it purdy :D )

    Hope everyone has a nice night, although I'll no doubt update at some point!!
