The Ultimate Hard and Fast debt clearing mission

Wow that place looks amazing Wendz! We've been talking about doing a couple of stops in America (or just Disney!) for our honeymoon, when we eventually get round to organising stuff.

That wedding that I was invited to and then wasn't was this past weekend and I'm kind of glad we didn't go. Managed to offload the hotel room to another couple that were going but apparently things weren't very well organised and there were a lot of problems with the food.

Going to the gym for the first time tonight. OH can take a guest for free to his work one so we've agreed to go Tues, Thurs and Sat for the next couple of weeks and see how it goes...

Hope everyone is doing ok and hugs to those that need them!

This is what we want to do but I don't know if we will manage it now (OH is convinced we will but I think he is hoping for a money tree to appear!) I haven't mentioned it as I haven't been on here properly for a while but we are starting to view houses this week. We did the silliest thing imaginable and set our hearts on one already, just had a phone call to cancel the viewing as it has sold as has the one we liked second best so I am resigning myself to some stressful times ahead! I know its very silly when we hadn't even seen it and there will be other houses, but still feeling cheesed off! One of our friends lives in an opposite house with the same layout so we kind of felt that we knew it already, if that makes sense. Bah!

Anyway three more viewings booked so at worst I get to have a good nose around other people's homes!

I swear, I get stuck in a training day at work and you all get gobby again!

Great news about the new job NIM! :j Really pleased for you guys! :j

Honeymoon looks idyllic Wendz! Will be amazing! Great idea about having your parents come out to join you for a while too.

Just realised that it's only 18 days until my holiday! :j Woo!!! :j Can't wait, I'm so ready for a break from everything and what better place to lose yourself than in the Happiest Place on Earth?!

Good news about looking for a house Shrimpy, not good about the ones you liked selling! These things happen for a reason though and I'm sure the perfect house will appear when the time is right!

Sounds like you didn't miss much with the wedding Ruby! It's good that you managed to sell the room on too!

I would love to do America as well. Sounds like a great choice!

So exciting its not long for you to go now Birdie, you lucky thing!

Ruby - sounds like a lucky escape from that wedding.

Shrimpy - so annoying about the house but hope you manage to find one perfect for you soon.

Can't believe you are off so soon Birdie, no wonder you are excited!!! I am still daydreaming about all the bargains at Woodbury Commons and Century 21. Lol!

Shrimpy - so sorry to hear about the houses. Am a firm believer in 'what's for you won't pass you'. Think of all the money you are saving towards furniture etc while you are looking around.

Ruby - sounds like the wedding was a disaster. Am so glad you didn't go.

Sorry about the house Shrimpy! I keep looking online even though we're ages away from being able to buy and have fallen in love many times over!

Anyone seen pictures of Jack Osbourne's wedding? I love the dress his wife is wearing! Might have to pick up a copy of Hello to find out more about the designer!

Wahooo, well done NIM What does this mean for Dinahs SAHM plans? Feasible?

After it was mentioned I just had a look at your newspaper article too, what a beautiful family you guys are

Gorgeous honeymoon Wendz, v jealous! And of your holiday that's coming up Birdie.

Aw Shrimpy sorry about the house, but one that's perfect for you will turn up

Oh my days NIM that is fab news. It sounds like this will have a really positive impact on your little family.

I have been rather busy tiling the bathroom floor. Well that's not quite right, I haven't actually started the tilling part yet. I have laid the insulation and put down the under floor heating and it should be ready to start tiling tonight.

I was very proud of OH at the weekend when he managed to get 35 pound off the tiles. He just asked the topps tiles man 'so what's the best price you can do". It didn't even cross my mind to ask, so it just shows you. OH said "see I am getting better at this money saving thing". Bless him, he managed to get 150 pound off field gates last month.

Morning ladies, thanks for the house wishes, I like to think that what's for you won't pass you too, thanks cmd x

Just looked up Mrs Osbourne's dress, couldn't find a pic of the bottom though, is it full length? V pretty. Wasn't so keen on Ozzy's tie though, hideous!

I will post a pic of my dress at some point, but the one on the website looks rubbish and I can't find any nicer ones, I don't want to do it a disservice! Had a sneaky try on with my friend on Saturday and still like it (although I still haven't seen it in a full length mirror ) My sis is home in 2 and a bit weeks so I will finally get a proper try on!

Well done to your OH ROTE! Mine is a devil for haggling (although not terribly MSE overall), I always get really embarassed though, I can't help it! He thinks he's Dominic Littlewood

Going to see our first house tonight, eeee!
