    Quick update from me from the last week -

    :D Phone won in comp arrived. Around £290 - £320 on ebay :eek::j, just waiting to get confirmation it's unlocked.
    :D Still loving iRene. Want to sell playbook to put towards cost but can't find little soft cover so will wait till I find that and hopefully dream about it tonight ;)
    :( Tried to get Dave Ramsey books from library but they don't have any. Got Rich Dad Poor Dad instead.
    :( Thought I'd lost a little weight but appear to have put it on :mad:
    :D Hotel booked with parking for airport night before Sept hol. Quite near my office so won't go home after work, saving around £15 in petrol, so only works out around £25 dearer than just parking and means the holiday starts sooner, plus can stay in bed till 4am instead of 2.30 :eek:
    :D £43.25 OP's & TT's
    :D Meals cooked for week
    :D MS shop done today
    :( No more booked though
    :D Out with friends & Mr GG tomorrow
    :( 2 house insurances renewed so savings will be hit next month. That's 4 in last month and all renewed with same co as cheapest or same as others. Would be great if they've finally decided to reward loyalty :cool:.
    :D Bank transfer seems to be going smoothly. Famous last words :rotfl:
    :D Found a new addiction to challenge Coin Dozer - Panda Jam - though currently stuck :o
    :D Projected to have small surplus at end of month. V confused :rotfl:
    :( Would like to stay up to watch The Masters but yawning head off so quick game of Panda Jam then off to Bedfordshire :o

    GG :) x
