  • Hi Guys,

    Happy Bonfire Night :dance:I've told you before any excuse to party!!! Not going to a bonfire tonight but we are going to one on Saturday night at a place called Shugborough Manor, it's a lovely place so should be fun.

    So, I just got back from Barcelona yesterday and it was fantastic, the weather was sooooooooo hot I didn't want to come back. Mum loved it which is the main thing as it was for her birthday, now she is asking when we can next go away!!! hmmmmmmm not for a while me thinks :rolleyes: Hey you will be proud though as I took 150 euros and came back with 35 euros. I jsut avoided all the shops.
    Me and OH go to Florida every year (usually in June) but I think we will be holding off until September next year so I can get this debt down a bit more. The flights are quite cheap at the moment so it's killing me not to book it but I'm holding off.

    I have still got the rest of the week off work and OH has took it off but the weather is crap so not sure what to do... hopefully NSDs heading my way :D

    OMG Jo, show me a pic... I wanna see, I wanna see, what have you called her? and is she behaving herself? I want another one but when DJ was little he used to fight other rabbits so I think I will leave that.

    Hi Snow, all is well but not as motivated as you, you're doing great!!

  • Hi Skint -

    Glad you had a good hol, me and OH went to florida last year and LOVED it, he really wants to go again (infact he would live there if he could) but were on a holiday ban for a year :(

    Good luck with everything xx

  • Hi MT, me and OH would live there tommorow if we could. I looked into it and I can do the same job over there so there would be no problem in that aspect. Financially we just couldn't do it for a few years yet, but it's defitnatly a possibility. We went in June and before we went we vowed that it would be our last for a couple of years, however, his dad passed away 4 days into the holiday so we came straight home. Next year will def be our last for a while though I think. Bet you can't wait for the ban to be lifted!! xx

    Thanks Snow, it is a great place and would recommend it to everyone. As for the change I came home with, I have now bought myself a new jacket with what I brought back :o I didn't really need one but Dorothy Perkins have 25% off, it was supposed to be £50 but due to it being in the sale and with the additional 25% off I got it for £28. OH is not best pleased but I was going to buy it a few months ago for £50 so I have kinda saved money if you think about it....... God loves a tryer!! For all you girlies the code I used at the checkout was DPVIPD. Sorry I shouldn't encourage you.

    Last night I spent £16.99 on Play.com for these http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/8989814/Magical-Flying-Lantern/Product.html I had to buy 10 for all the family, we are going to make our wishes and let them go on christmas night. I thought it would be nice for the family since we have been through a lot this year.

    We are going to see OHs brother, SIL and baby neice tonight so think we are having a chippy (he is paying) other than that my money is staying in my account.... I haven't got much left anyway!! Before I forget I did both my Dotty P and Play purchases through Quidco and also made 40p just for signing upto I-BOOD, check it out. :j

  • :mad: I have just written the longest post EVER and it has just deleted, so here I go again.....

    OMG Jo she is so cute, how cute are them markings above her nose?!! If you have any questions then just ask and I will try my best to help you. Seeing your pic makes me want another but DJ is enough for now. When I was in Barcelona they had about 10 baby ones in a small cage, so sad :( I wanted to buy them all!! Snow is yours a house bunny?

    We went to the bonfire last night, it cost £7 each it was good but not worth the money. At least we managed to get to one this year (I'm usually working over bonfire night) We then got back in time to watch David & Goliath, I'm sorry but no one can call that a fight, it was shocking. Plus OH just told me that it had cost me £14.50 (I'm the one that pays for the sky bill :eek:)

    I was so annoyed yesterday, OH just filled up my screen wash and went to close my bonnet when it decided that it didn't want to close, all the cables are fine but after taking the front of the car apart (literally) we found that the bonnet catch has rusted. Anyway he managed to get it closed and now it won't open. Hmmmmmmmmmm before we closed it we checked the oil and it was fine so I'm just going to leave it until the mot/service if I can and tell them then. Otherwise it's going to cost me a fortune and can't afford it before xmas.

    Just been to my parents today so a NSD for me yay
