    Just a quick thought - seems I'm the eldest here by a mile - are you chicks (and Adam) going to feel like its a night out with your mum? I promise I wont wear a cardy, surgical stockings or smell of Vicks Vapor Rub...

    Of course it won't feel like that EB, my Mum's way younger than you! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Sorry, only joking!

    You're actually younger than some of my friends :)

    You have to come!

    I don't even remember having breakfast - that may be the problem cos I didn't have dinner last night, just a bit of toast :o.

    Tut tut tut Jody, not eating is no good! And not eating won't make the debt go down...

    Thought I should do the motherly bit there since EB didn't jump in with it :p, bit ironic as I'm the youngest :rotfl:

    Morning all!

    Oh my days did I feel tired last night! About half nine I was drooling on the sofa :rotfl:. Woke up this morning and I feel like I have been in a fight :eek: my shoulders ache and my arm is tender, not sure what OH was doing to me in my sleep!

    GOOD NEWS! I got my savings money :j, £589.53 was put in my account this morning, yay and woop :D. I have transferred £450 to savings as the rest will be used to pay off the centreparcs trip. I still have more to go in but I will try and do a little update on siggy and spreadsheet figures for you all....

    Just can't remember how many days are left :o

    That's great news Jody, what a good start to a Friday :)

    So is it £450 towards your debt and the rest towards Centreparcs? When are you going there?

    LOL - I'm the world's worst for irregular eating! Most of my food is eaten out of cellophane (unless the gorgeous BF is being strict with me and insisting I get home on time!)

    My daughter teases me about the fact that I am the one who treats the house like a hotel... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks All, it's great because on Natwest you can have a savings goal and mine was to have £1,000 in savings and it tells me now I have reached my goal :j

    Centreparcs is the first week of Feb for 4 days, just a little break for my daughter and I am hoping my mum can get the time off work too :). Current savings total is £1,236.18 and I am hoping to be adding to that very soon with Ebay etc :T

    I am going to Centerparcs early Feb too - can't remember the date but I think its the second weekend... never been before and really looking forward to spending the time with my gorgeous little nieces (currently aged 2 and 11 months) - of and of course my brother, his wife and my kids! :rotfl:
