    Sounds like a good plan to me :)

    Just had a read through your diary for the first time - quite inspirational for me, especially the house deposit funds - Well done :D
    Gosh, hope you weren't too bored! :rotfl:
    Ohhhhh hope you had a lovely walk & lunch - was beautiful here too (but then got soaked in a torrential downpour - followed by more sun .... very weird)
    I had a lovely day thanks :) just settling down to watch the opening ceremony on the tv! :D

    Well, enjoyed watching the opening ceremony last night - didn't get up til 11:30 today! :o

    Not much planned - watching stuff on tv mostly, and food shopping at some point.

    I have taxi :)

    Well, me and DH are going into town today to speak to a mortgage advisor :eek: so will probably have lots of information to process when we get home later!

    Other than that, not much to report :)
