  • Not really, she is going to continue to be disappointed and ashamed (her words) of us all until we have properly welcomed his new partner in to the family...

    My dad is so close to just telling them all to do one :(

  • Hi Pennies, I've been lerking checking out your progress, good work on the savings and I'm very jealous that you are off on holiday soon!
  • Wow, not been on in a little while!

    Well firstly I've changed around my signature. I managed to put away £500/£600 for my car insurance, it came in at £417 though so I've paid £400 out of my pot and £17 from my wages, leaving £100 clear for my new target!

    Target's have been renumbered as follows:

    Savings Target 1) £100/£250 by 01/08/11
    Savings Target 2) £1609.50/£3000 by 31/12/11
    Savings Target 3) £100/£2200 by 23/09/12

    Savings 1 is still for my sister's wedding in August, to pay for the hotel, wedding present and drinks.

    Savings 2 is still for my ISA, this is my long term savings and will hopefully be used towards something wedding related eventually! :p

    Savings 3 is a new target as we are going to Disney in Florida next September! :j Can't wait to go and want to start saving now to give myself plenty of time!

    Don't think I'm doing too bad on the savings front, considering I only got debt free just before Christmas.

    Other news, my sister had her baby 4 weeks and 2 days early! My niece Chloe came in weighing 5lb 10.5oz and I'm totally in love and it really doesn't help with the broodiness ladies!

    The dog graduated from basic obedience classes and now attends advanced classes :p

    Think that's about all from me...

    Hi Hun, not been in for ages! Did everything get sorted with your family and the invites in the end? They say you can choose your friends but not your family, I would have been fuming if I was your sister!

    Congrats on becoming an aunite and a big well done on your savings to date, your ISA balance is fab and I reckon you will exceed your third target for disneyland :T

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D
