    Hi Froggy

    Thank you for sharing your MFW diary, I am really feeling that I need to do the same thing too. So reading how you are starting out is very inspiring.
    I hope you enjoy your trip to Cornwall I like polperro and looe very nice places to just relax. If you go to Eden it is best not to go on a very hot day as the Biodome's get too hot/humid and unbearable to enjoy.

    I will be popping in from time to time to see how you are getting on I hope like you to be free sooner rather than later

    Good Luck

    Thanks for the kind post.. Glad I could part of the inspiration to get you started on your journey :j Thanks also for the tip for the Eden project..Not sure we will get a hot day during the next week :o

    That was a bit of an eventful day!! I agree, there is nothing worse than being stuck in traffic:mad::mad:. At least you have the holiday to look forward to, hope you have a good time :D

    Hey Wantabetterlife :j

    I usually don't get stressed in traffic, but yesterday was just too much...You are right, today I am off on holiday and I intend to make the most of it..:D

    Congratulations on your anniversary.
    Sorry to hear about the bad day. I hope the journey goes well tomorrow and you have a good holiday with the family.

    Hey Jellie :j
    Thanks for stopping by! Holiday start in a few hours! At last, I can get away from the stressful office and the rat race, only for a week though...
    I look forward to be back to read how you get on and the wedding preps.. Ask away if you need any help, my OH mentioned that she is more than willing a bride to be! ;)

    Have a good time while I am away!!

    Have a great time :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hello all! :j

    Am back!!!!

    Finally made it back from Cornwall.. We had a good week off with my nephew & nieces & in laws..
    The kids were really good.. Am so glad we planned it correctly and budgeted for it... It seems we spent a fortune :o, but after looking at the figures, it looks like we are on budget...:j

    Thanks to everybody for your recommendations in Cornwall.. We managed to have a fair few days out, even in the foggy & rainy weather in the last couple of days.. And in laws were really nice, even letting us have a "date" just OH & I for the last night over there... The kids thought it was very amusing that OH & I were going on a date even though we are married :rotfl:

    I am at table tennis practice tonight, but I should be able to create my new signature sometimes this week, as we have received the second letter from Northern Rock with the new balance...

    Hope you all had a good week while I was away?

    Hello :j

    As promised, below signature now updated - still a long way to go, but it feels good to see the figures come down :p

    Table tennis practice was great last night.. Nice to get back into it... The season starts on the 8th September..

    We should be able to OP once we have received & paid the Tesco credit card on September 6th :D

    Have a great day everybody

    Hello again! :j

    Just sent another OP of £55 to Northern Rock...:j

    There should be another OP sometimes next week...:beer:

    Had a quick look at MusicMagpie last night, but the prices offered for CD's, DVD's & games are quite low.. Can anybody recommend a better way to sell those items quickly?

    I now can't wait to get the renewals for buildings & contents insurance through the post, so I can get comparing and earning a fair bit of cashback...:D

    Through an incentive at work, I have also earned myself £50 worth of Amazon vouchers, which will go towards xmas...

    Not a bad day after all...
