Ha ha you sound completely mental! Just like me!

:rotfl: I don't really think of myself that way but I have been assured that I am a total fruitcake! Oh well, there are a lot worse things to be I suppose

I'm howling laughing here...has anyone ever told you that you talk too much? Only kidding!.. but honestly that has got to be the longest post I've EVER read on here.

That's the trouble with travelling with friends or anyone else for that matter. It's your holiday at the end of the day..I too wouldn't want to be eating out all the time. We have a mini break coming up soon and DH wants to eat out and I want to cook. I'm thinking about the money though as I begrudge paying for something to eat when I can make it better myself for a quarter of the cost.

Just made a £4k OP so that smashes my wanted 10k reduction in my mortgage for this year! I've still got another 5 months to go so you never know, I might make it 20% down in the first year - I'll be a MFiF when I wasn't even intending to be! Hah, don't think so still I'm pretty damn happy with that little (big) OP

Strangly enough not very often. Occasionally when I get a bit excited I can run on a bit. My chosen medium though is the written word I can write for my country when I'm in the mood.

Well here is the evidence for my rather poorly disciplined month. Have to say this month isn't looking too much better so far! Still, my big OP means I must be doing something right but still a lot of room for improvement.

Amazing OP - well done! :T:j:j

And I think your spending diary for 1 month looks fine to me - only £68 on food - wow!
