Wow, dress is BEAUTIFUL Keza!!!! I love weddings :D:D Just knowing that someone is getting excited about their wedding is a wonderful thing I'm such a soppy one!

Jody- we're off to Scotland for week for some walking and climbing and then on way back down we're stopping off in Snowdonia for a weekend kayaking course....can't wait :j:j As you already know, bit of an outdoors girl am I OH and I were talking about perhaps doing a city break abroad later in the year after we've moved etc....if there is any money left over

We're debating gettinga dog when we move, I work from home most days so no problems with someone being there and I'd love it to take walking etc so would have to make sure we get the right breed, one that's happy to climb mountains and not get half way up and refuse to go any further, either way! :rotfl:

Awww, Keza you are soooooooooooooooooo lucky getting married!!!!

Now Ms Choc Addict, I have to say, that what you have planned is my idea of a HELLIday not holiday :rotfl:. But yes, it sounds perfectly you and I am sure you will have a fantastic time! Actually I did some canoeing on an adventure holiday when I was at school (it's about the only thing i remember from school ) and I really enjoyed it. I reckon a Leonberger is the dog for you - mountain dogs and can be trained to pull carts :j

SOunds like a lovely hol ur going on! im more of a city break girl myself. i loved Rome. our honeymoon is in the maldives, not sure how i will cope with nothing to do and the heat but im going to give it a damn good try lol! xxx

Keza I removed the dress name in my quote as soon as I saw your message, hope that was quick enough hun . I am already looking forward to the pics, can't we start a countdown or something?!

Maldives as well.....now I am insanely jealous. Maldives is my top holiday/honeymoon destination joint with Turks & Caicos. Are you into snorkelling or diving? I learnt to dive earlier this year and the maldives has some of the best reefs in the world - google Powder Blue Tang, it is the most beautiful fish in the world and you will probably see quite a few of those, even if you just snorkel.

Hi... I just wanted to say hello.. you sound very much like me in the personality stakes, so I'll keep an eye on your diary to see how you're getting on and hopefully find some inspiration. (No babies or weddings here I'm afraid! )

Hi AnnieG - yay another newb to my diary! Thanks for popping over :j. Don't worry, there are no babies or weddings for me yet either, we just like to talk about it for now :rotfl:

Well ladies, the nails are green but the hair is still grey . OH has strict instructions it MUST be done tomorrow! Have dusted off some old, very geeky limited edition transformer models ready for Fleabay tomorrow, might put the jeans on as well. Also to do tomorrow is make cakes (at last) and find some more free Quidco offers. Phew, I'm getting tired just thinking about it.

Ciao, for now :cool:

Hey Annie G - reading others diaries is a fab way to become motivated! Jody's is fab! x

Shucks , my diary isn't fab, it's just random wafflings tied in with a few debt busting ideas! Diaries are great though for support, ideas and making debt busting buddies

Oh I almost forgot to add..... you know I missed that game for Oh's birthday and said I had bid on one ending tonight? Mine for £9.49 delivered :T. I had budgeted £20 so the money I saved is paying for his birthday cake, card and a balloon. So Happy :j

Well done on your bargain!! I think bargains are sooo much more exciting when you are a debt buster!!! :D:D:D:D

Keza- congrats on the wedding! Mine is next may. Havn't looked at dresses yet! As we are doing it abroad we are still decided what to get OH to wear! I am thinking everything except the jacket would be the way to go!

I hope everyone has a great bank holiday monday

how long have I not been on for?!?!

I feel really greedy now I have a baby and two dogs! I will warn you all it can be very stressful dealing with the three of them, but I love them all and couldn't get rid of any of them. The baby was a "surprise" though its a year since we found out we were expecting and now she's almost 4 months! Time goes to quickly...

Very jealous about all the holidays - that can be something else to add to my list of things to save up for!

Well I have no boyfirend or even the prospect of one, but I've already chosen my dress for the next time I get married!!

Lovely to meet you all :0)

Hi Annie :wave:,
Gosh, it's getting harder to keep up with this thread .
I went to Rome for my 30st last year, it was great but much smaller city than I imagined. Def 3 days enough for it, we combined it with Venice, Florance and Pisa, staying there for a week, it was lovely,very romantic:p.

Yeah, I remember your dress Keza, it's lovely:). I like simple ones, straight line with small details, if I can post a picture I will show you my dream dress, not like OH wants me to wear it:rotfl:.

Well done on bargain, I love underpaying for staff:). Went to Primark yesterday and bought a couple of lovely tops, paid only £2.50 each. I don't usually like Primark as their dress size never fits but recently lost weight so I look good in their size 8-10 tops:T.

And OH wants a puppy too but I prefer babies:D.

Morning all, using my phone so sorry for spelling and grammar but having an awful day!

Woke up to find everything in my tank on its last legs so am very stressed and upset and desperately trying to save it. Will fill you in properly later, please keep your fingers crossed for me that my ickle fish survive!

What dogs have you got LMRH? Two dogs and a baby does sound very time consuming, perhaps you could train a dog to feed, wash and clothe the baby - would save you lots of time . I agree on the holiday savings, I adore holidays, I had some proper rubbish ones when I was younger but the last couple have been fab and it makes me want to go away more (much to OH's dismay - he gets quite homesick!)
