    Jellie - a spa day (today) with two of my girlies and a meal in a couple of weeks with everyone.

    Had a fab day today at the spa, so relaxed and tired now. My prize arrived this morning, was a wii game but dd1 has nicked it, so I wont be selling that for a while.

    The spa day sounds lovely- glad it was relaxing. I still can't decide whether to have a hen night!

    All I would say Jellie is if you're going to have a hen night then make sure you're doing what you want to do and not everyone else.

    Had a carp money weekend. Shop bought curry last night and takeaway kfc tonight. Back on track tomorrow.

    Monday again!

    Bathrooms have been cleaned, washing on, meat is out of the freezer for dinner.

    I've also ordered a couple of bits for the wedding this morning, it's getting all a bit close now, it's scary.

    I've got three items on ebay with bids, all ending tomorrow.

    Nothing else exciting to report.

    The spa day sounded lovely.

    You are doing brilliantly with the mortgage. I think hitting mini goals makes you more motivated!

    well done getting under £81k. I have £425 to knock off to get under £70k and its so bugging me and I am tempted to use some of my savings to do it but then I know I will see a car I like and not have enough money to get it!

    You've been more energetic than me today, all I have managed to do is sit on my bum on here and getting nothing done :o (did a bit of ebay but thats it)
    I dont even feel like I have rested tho which is the daftest thing! I dont think I ever just sit and watch tv but the time just disappears on me
    MPs left feb '08 276- Dec 13 36 :T MB Jan 10 ~ £82,377 Dec 13 ~ £29987
    EMFD was Feb 32 :eek: NOW Dec 2013 its Dec 2016

    I so want to be under 80K it's not funny, but then I will want to get to 70K and that'll feel like so far.

    I've found something for ebay that I forgot I had and is potentially worth a few quid more than I thought (nothing ground breaking) but listing now in the hope that it sells.

    Is it too early to sell summer clothes yet? I have a pile of DD's from last year that I need to bung on, perhaps a bit early though?

    Chicken curry in the slow cooker this morning and it's smells yummy already. Saves me faffing later when I can't be bothered. Been to see the registrar this morning so the last important bit done, just need all the final faffy bits doing now. Going to be a spendy few weeks, but never mind.
