Thanks Tilly - I'm not sure I'm the best person to rescue you if you've been spending as I'm easily lead astray and could well up joining you on your spending spree!

Hi there
I love to pick a diary and read it from start to finish. Just finished yours and really enjoyed it!
I too love 'M' bags (and purses) my house is top to toe in F&B and I'm partial to a nice pair or 3 of shoes!
You are doing amazingly well I can't believe how quickly your mortgage is melting! Incredible.
I'm beyond jealous that you are sunning yourselves in Florida. The hotel looks amazing. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday.

Yay - a fellow crazy bag person, I thought I was all alone here!! Thanks for your kind comments about my diary, as a "M" fan, maybe you can understand my weird obsession!

Greetings fellow MFW's !!
I'm back from my jolly holidays and I'm pleased to report that a splendid time was had by all.
The boys didn't want to come home and we had tears.....
We visited a few parks while we were there (although not Disney which i realise might seem strange) and we spent many a happy hour chilled out relaxing/playing at the pool.
The flight home wasn't too bad but we're all still a little bit jet lagged.
I only went shopping once (!!!) - DH took the boys to the cinema one afternoon and I had a whole 3 hours to myself at the Mall. Amazingly, no serious damage was done. I bought one dress from Gap which was cheap and I also bought a pair of black Uggs. Seemed strange buying Uggs when it's 30 degrees, but I wanted them for the Winter and they cost half of what they do in the UK so it made sense.
We'd saved the spending money before we went and came in under budget. Amazing!!!!
I did of course miss my Mulberry obsessing whilst away, so based on the fact that I was good at the Mall, came in under budget with holiday spends and got a nice bonus at the end of May - I'm afraid I went a bit wild in the last few days and have bought 2 bags.
On the bright side, one is from a friend, so I got a very good price on a rare pre loved pristine beauty. The other one is brand new but from their factory shop, so 40% off RRP.
Once a bag addict, always a bag addict.
I received my renewal for my car insurance whilst away - came in at £300 which seemed fine, however, I just checked with DL through Quidco and I've managed to save £100 plus I will get £75 cashback. Result. Very happy with this!
Finances are all in order but I'm looking forward to replenishing the funds a little bit once payday arrives, 9 sleeps and counting.
Hope everyone is well, I'll try and do a bit of a diary catch up over the next week...... I'm so far behind!!!!
