    Wow that's not long at all, nearly under 100 days - Jody will be panicking! :p

    Borneo will be here before you know it! :D

    I'm here!!!!!

    Glad to hear the training went well hun! That's a mighty ambitious challenge you set yourself there but the extra bar work will certainly help :j. I need to get a ticker going on facebook I think cos I keep losing track of the days. DMP payment goes out soon so then I can update my figures and see where I stand.

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Annoyed with myself this morning - I'd forgotten about o/d charges :o cause I had been out of my o/d for most of last month due to paying it off with the loan.

    £30 odd in charges! :mad:

    So wages from Sunday have all but disappeared, I wanted to pay that off my loan :(

    But...have managed to add another £4 to my o/d fund so that's something :)

    And at least I'll never have o/d charges again! :D

    Left me with £6 change which has of course been sent to the loan :)

    Not quite yet - this happened last time - think because I'm going on my own there's no-one to plan things with so I only get excited closer to the time if that makes any sense at all?!
    Wow exciting!

    That does make sense Bec's, when your going with someone else you can talk about the trip constantly and get excited together!
