    I've stashed £5 away for when I need (want) something girlie.

    Not a lot happening today. Another NS day - its suprising how quickly I get out of the habit of shopping at lunchtime.

    I've just found out my boss has booked the same week off as me :mad: despite me telling her 6 weeks ago. She's laughing it off as if it doesn't matter but I'm the one who will be in the UK so guess who will get the phone messages! There is no chance I'm taking my phone on holiday now.

    Other than that we are all well, still managing to dribble spare cash into the holiday fund but realise that the debt busting has to pick up pace when we get back.

    DH's b'day this week so off to re-locate the pressies I hid earlier this month .....
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Well done on the NSD - i had my first this month yesterday too :D

    Glad you've put a fiver away for that girly moment....it's moments like these when a little stash like that can come in handy or it could be carnage on the current account :p

    How annoying with your boss booking same time off, def don't take your phone Pen. A hol is supposed to be relaxing!

    Hope you have a good day xx

    Not too bad a day - at least I managed another NS day.

    De-clutter wise we had a brilliant day. DS went through all of his wardrobes and drawers and we have 2 bin bags of rubbish and 3 to go to charity. What a result :D

    Other than that it was all running around, attending meetings and general boring stuff. It was a bit anoying that not much got sorted and I'll have more running around to do next week, but at least we are moving in the right direction.

    Back to work tomorrow so I'm going to attempt an early night :) (I bet I don't get anywhere near bed until midnight!).
