    PDD - Doggy:eek:gold cheque eating monster! After you made him (her?) better too!

    Vic - how you doing today...oooo good better now I read further on! They will settle down once they get that first payment and its processed through their slug like systems... yep you are better marriage and babies....my vote for a wedding that costs very, very little, pop on a plane somewhere sunny...no stress! And as for the babies, you've said just what I've always though, you'd wait forever to be ready financially and mentally.... I still don't think I'm grown up enough to have my three!
    Chrisblue - :hello:hello and welcome aboard!
    Hi Albiebabes - :wave:Well done for pulling that head out of the sand! Its a tough place to come out of but you'll feel so much better for facing up to and dealing with your debt, whatever route you choose.

    Nat - Wise wise words.....very wise indeed:grouphug:can't find wise smiley so deeply dodgy hug instead:D Also I bet you are not slobby mummy, I am the worst and most non yummy mummy:rotfl:

    Jeddy - Great news re halifax, it is one strange rollercoaster!

    LJM - I'm on that bl**dy mailing list too, step away from the boden and cath kidston, but can't recycle them yet!

    Ted - Pjs under the jeans - wish my jeans would go on over the pjs....I will aspire to this!

    Hope I've not missed anyone, better go and join in now...Nighty night.....

    Ted - I am peed off that its warmer now and can't get away with the hat for the school run to hide the birds nest hair...think i might have read that book, but will have to look for a picture to remind self! Hope I didn't make you or anyone feel bad by holiday talk.....:o

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Nat your dd and dolls, DS the elder is more of a yummy mummy to the dolls he borrows off his sister, she is also a slobby mummy! DD is dressing in vintage miniboden today and DSs in vintage monsoon.....lovely ebay!

    Off out with the washing too now Ted - Mount Washamingo has finally been conquered after a long cold winter.....the last load, will have to start on non necessary bed sheet washing next!

    Ahh you are a treasure:A True! We are looking at the Lizard, but really anywhere....you'll be knowing the best places! When we don't do Cornwall we end up thinking we've had a good holiday but.....IYSWIM.

    We are determined to have a break, and will be carbooting, ebaying and cutting the food budget to the bare bones to make sure we do, which is probably what we should be doing to build up and emergency fund....but DH works such long hours and barely sees the children in the week and a holiday always seems such a precious family together time! When we are at home the house always seems to need so much doing. Do you think I'm trying to justify it to myself?:rotfl:

    Congrats on your battering promotion:D and payrise and increase in tokens too!

    Thanks again:grouphug:

    No worries! Leave it with me, I'll have a gander locally, see what I can find - do you have a budget in mind? PM me if you want!

    I can talk babies! Mine somehow knows that there are photos at nursery this week and has been doing everything possible to scar his face, launching himself at box corners and nosediving off the bed towards a radiator… poor little thing.
