    we've booked the day off work going out for breakfast and going in the bank is the plan (not sure about the whole deeds thing and out of curiousity id like to see what they'd lend us if we wanted to move again), maybe dinner out too, thats its really we're working the next day but our holiday is the following month :) tbh we do still have alot of credit cards to clear so it isn't the end. its weird tho i think as its been planned for so long we are excited but not really over excited but maybe that will change when it comes!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
