    Well spoke to DH last night and informed him that you had said he has to take me out to dinner as its our first big anniversary :o

    I have decided (in my wisdom) that it will be part of our anniversary present to each other as tbh we dont need, nor can afford great big lavish gifts to celebrate. I have bought him some of his favourite quality streets in bar form a bag of the new wispa bites (well they were a £ :rotfl:) and will be spending today making fancy schmancy coffee muffins with lots of coffee icing on and thats all ive got.

    Hmm do you notice a theme to his presents :think: every celebration, DH gets something to eat :rotfl: way to a mans heart def applies with my DH :rotfl:

  • Had a journey to Ikea last night, bought two more bookcases which are getting delivered tomorrow. I'd a bit stuck on finding a wardrobe I like though. The Ikea ones are very :( (could really use the shrugging smiley right now) and they're just that bit too wide for me I think. OH measure the space we have as 220cm and I'd love a chest of drawers there too so we could put a TV on it. I'll just keep looking although I'm not really sure where.

    Had the bill from the solicitors yesterday (think I forgot to put it in my handbag dammit) and we got £150 cashback from H*lifax on the mortgage so they took that straight off the bill which is £150 more for us :)

    Oh did I tell you about the random parcel I got from the bank yesterday? C*tylink left it under our taken down "For Sale" sign. It had a small bottle of red wine, box of tea bags, jar of coffee, some shortbread, handwash and a little tool box. Best bit was a box of picture hooks, think that was the only thing in there we didn't have :)

    New payment from me includes tax rebate and a smidge from the second wage...

    New total:

    £873.14/£8703.32

    Life is too short not to love what you do.
  • Morning All,

    Long time no speak..... but rest assured, i've still got my goal firmly in site.

    It's so exciting, got a little bonus at work, so going to spend it on the house and debt (ok ok thats not every exciting.... but it is to me lol)

    So today i've just paid £539 to debt, and going to purchase my shower screen, and bath panel which will finish off my new bathroom... and hopefully i can squeeze carpets for the hall and back bedroom. I honesly cant wait (as we have no carpets in the hall or back bedroom, and this is looong overdue) can i get a WOOP WOOP!!

    So DFW#24 = £1700 / £6100 = 28% Busted!!

    Great to read that we have members on the honour role already!!! Thats amazing insperation for the rest of us!!
    I'm a Debt Free Wannabe :) PAID £4400/£6100 = 72.1% Busted!

    Have put some away for this but still a very expensive month.
