    I changed it earlier :rotfl:.

    It's a small world, am guessing your Dad was part of 36 Regiment - the royal engineers, I used to run 2 bars on that base!! :D

    And I have this weird feeling that OH was born in Aldershot hospital, weird huh!

    I bet it was fun working in a bar on an Army Base!

    So will you be debt free in Feb 2011 Jody? That is AMAZING!

    I really hope so! (I forgot you haven't been with me since the beginning!)....I was initially aiming for end of this year but failing that, it will be Jan/Feb, it all depends what sort of year end bonus I get. Am hoping that with the bonus and my savings I will be able to make some F&F's :beer:

    Tesco shop on the way home from work tonight, I have a £60 budget but am going to try and spend as little as possible so I can send the rest to Lloyds.

    Hi Penny

    Thanks for the kind words, I still can't believe anyone would read my diary!

    Are you debt busting as well?

    Could you shop online and use the voucher codes? Also, start buying cheap repetitive stuff, I'm sure your OH would be happy with value beans (they're not good) and white bread everyday, tell him the quality of the grocery shopping will improve when you're married ;)

    I came in £16.09 under budget, will send this to Lloyds later.
