    I'm glad the wedding was so lovely, DT, they can have really amazing atmospheres. And good for you for starting in the black, and then using the drawdown too. Hurray!

    I knew you were around as I *saw* you on other threads, but wondered why you hadn't updated your own diary about the wedding and the start of the six month budget.

    Good evening DT, have been thinking about you. Remember sometime ago we were doing this thing exploring what would be appropriate to do? Well, I found this so you may be interested to fill it in - I did and the result was interesting. Of course I did not buy the pages and pages that were not free; learned me MSE ways, me.

    Happy new diary. Glad the wedding went well - being nosy, was it in Wales? Hope your OH is now feeling better.

    OH is feeling better although his jaw is hurting now he did ask me if I punched him in the night:rotfl::rotfl: must be part of this horrid infection/virus thing he had coming out

    No the wedding was in Droitwich so we ventured into England but as a Birmingham girl I like going home sometimes :D

    Talking about home a house we nearly bought 13 years ago and one that I have always hankered after is up for sale trouble is its overpriced by about £100,000 I was really shocked it will be interesting to see if it sells I always refer to it as my house the house next door was sold last December for 260K after being advertised for 300K but my house is on for 375K I just can't see how they can justify that.:eek:

    err that would be no as we would have to spend some money on it if we were going to sell :o

    I would commute first anyway so as to get to know any new area and the future job prospects before we committed to moving.

    Operation clean and tidy today not necessarily in that order :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    and of course back to obsessively opening emails just in case :D
