    You’ve reminded me I need to book the airport lounge for next month. 

    Well done on getting under £1k and all the wedding organisation too 🥳

    Been a productive day for our daughters wedding 

    I’ve spent £260 on a custom made dress and a pair of personalised vans

    it has went on my credit card but it will be cleared before the 12th xx

    also measured bridesmaids and ordered their dresses as well so they’ll be here by the end of April so we are getting there plus got cash back 

    sent £3.68 towards the credit card  today 

    had loads to do this weekend and have ended up looking after one of my childminding kids over the weekend as mum went into labour at 9.30pm last night had her baby at 11.30pm and I offered to care for him as social work were talking of putting him into temporary foster care which I wouldn’t allow so roll on next weekend lol to chill out xx

    Productive morning holiday wise

    I've booked my car parking which came with fast track passes which are normally £7 each but it's cost £89.99 but got cashback of £7.80 

    Also bit the bullet and booked the lounge for £120

    I have £35 left over in the holiday pot so I'm very chuffed that I have booked our Lounge, Car parking, Fast track passes, holiday insurance and booked our seats so we are sitting together and it's technically not cost me a penny as its all been paid for via vinted sales and surveys xx

    Well done 👏 We get the fast track free courtesy of Mr SA needing special assistance but have to pay for the lounge although it’s worth it to me as I can park him there with unlimited coffees and bacon rolls while I look around the shops. Then I come back for a glass of bubbly 😆
